Man, I played this a couple months ago, and it is indeed tense. I had the same feeling playing this as I did Alien: Isolation. I was crawling on the ground most of the time, and I like that with every playthough the items are randomized. It’s a solid entry to the entire Amnesia series (and better than Rebirth imo)
But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.
I wonder if they’ll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it’s that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.
The Painscreek Killings sounds like the open ended deduction that you’re describing. You play as a journalist who goes to an abandoned town to try to solve a cold case murder. The game doesn’t tell you where or what to do next, or how to do it. I liked it because it was just me trying to figure the story out and what to do, not the game telling me “Put x and y together. Oh, look, it leads you to z!” (Also it’s currently on sale on Steam for like 5 bucks.)
There was a VR version that came out a few years ago that sparked a brief revival, and initially it was really fun. But of course Rockstar doesn’t care to maintain it, so now there’s a ton of issues if you try to play it these days. Last I checked a lot of people who bought it where full on locked out because of activation key issues.
I don’t play as much anymore, but I have roughly 1200 hours in Diablo 3.
In Steam, my top most hours played are: Sims 3: 945 Mad Max: 609 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines: 230
Xbox doesn’t tell me the time played for all of my games, but I know for sure I have a stupid amount of hours invested in Dead Space 2 and LA Noire. It does say I have about 650 hours in Resident Evil Revelations 2, but that’s because I really enjoy Raid Mode.
