New Amnesia still offers dark ambience, but is not as absorbing as her predecessors.

Amnesia: Rebirth is a survival horror where the "survival" component is guaranteed, as there isn't any event that can lead to the death of the protagonist, steering the experience towards the "horror" component and making the most of the fear of the dark and a particularly distressing story made unpredictable by various plot twists. Three different endings and the ability to scare without splatter effects, but relying on the feeling of vulnerability, make this game a must play even for those used to more frenetic gameplay.

Amnesia: Rebirth may not have the wow factor of modern AAA visuals, but it offers so much in its direction, effects and sound that it has an unbelievably immersive draw. What it lacks in raw gameplay mechanics it makes up for with a consistently engaging series of scenes, puzzles and set pieces. Amnesia: Rebirth is a terrifying cosmic thriller that is accessible enough for all types of players, but certainly should be a welcome addition in the library of any Horror fan.
The Swedish studio's latest offering tracks a plane-crash survivor as she grapples with her new, terrifying reality
At times the game can feel too scripted, and its approach to "game overs" is dubious, but in general it delivers the scary scenes and disturbing atmosphere Frictional fans have come to expect.
It doesn't only keep the spirit of Amnesia alive, also adds to it.

Amnesia: Rebirth is a worthy addition to a classic series. It buries the player deep in an oppressive atmosphere of fear like a gravedigger spading dirt onto a coffin. If the state of the world today isn’t terrifying enough for you, picking up Amnesia: Rebirth will certainly sate your lust for scares.
With a unique and engaging story and some innovations to the old formula of its genre, this not just another one of the samey first person horror games we've been getting throughout the past decade or so. There are some technical problems and the jump scares are a little overused but all in all, this is a good title and worth sinking time into.

Amnesia: Rebirth stumbles a little with its narrative-based approach and certain gameplay choices, but every time I started to feel frustrated with its direction, it had a nightmarish encounter waiting to remind me that no one does heart-pounding terror quite like Frictional Games.
Amnesia: Rebirth is hardly a stumbling block, but it is a clear step back on Frictional Games' so far ascendant trajectory. Its lack of identity and its abuse of clichés, both playable and plot, are a serious warning about the alarming creative stagnation of a genre in need of fresh air.

Overall, Amnesia: Rebirth is a fantastic, terrifying experience. The story grapples with not just fear of the supernatural, but fear of failure, survival’s guilt, and a plethora of other challenging emotions… Amnesia: Rebirth delivered on every level, cementing itself as a must-play for horror game fans.
Amnesia: Rebirth successfully breathes new life into the cult-classic series and even though it's not as good as the 2010 original, it's worth paying attention to.

The best part of the game remains the atmosphere, every element of the game being purposefully conceived to contribute to the gloomy feel, that will grow heavier as you advance through the narrative. We cannot say that Rebirth is revolutionary, despite bringing several new gameplay elements, but it is still a solid horror game, recommended for both old-time fans and newcomers alike.
Amnesia: Rebirth is a step back for Frictional Games. It offers little substance in the way of puzzles, exploration, survival, or psychological horror. Aside from an excellent sequence within a spooky fort, the rest is an uninteresting mess that relies too much on scripted detours.
Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent example of how to build tension, and the vulnerability Tasi feels throughout never gets any easier. There are great puzzles and a well-written story that keeps you gripped until the end.
Despite some boring locales and an over-reliance on the darkness just for the sake of it, Amnesia: Rebirth is an excellent horror game with some fun puzzles, well-written characters, and genuinely terrifying moments.
Amnesia Rebirth is the best choice if you are looking for a real horror game. Gameplay Is awesome and story is very unique and engaging. Some technical issues might bother you, but they don't ruin the experience at all.

Amnesia: Rebirth has a compelling story, grim atmosphere and a solid fusion of gameplay and storytelling. But it just can't quite reach the heights of SOMA.

Amnesia: Rebirth is a confused game with big ambitions and some great elements but is unable to pull everything together.
Amnesia: Rebirth is one that is well worth prioritising in your ever-growing list. Take the plunge and descend into darkness… if you dare.
