Amnesia: The Dark Descent
First person horror titles were nothing new nor were games that effectively toyed with your sanity. However, Frictional’s Amnesia: The Dark Descent did more than just combine these two aspects when it released in 2010. It had an atmosphere that relies on environmental story-telling, strong sound design and a constant sense of dread to terrify you. Amnesia: The Dark Descent simply showed us how a horror game could be great even if the graphics weren’t ground-breaking.
