Amnesia Collection

Frictional Games was no stranger to the horror gaming scene thanks to the Penumbra series. However, Amnesia: The Dark Descent completely blew away expectations. Its tale of confusion and mystery, highlighted by the protagonist’s amnesia, clashed with the oppressive shadow that constantly sought out players. Amnesia: The Dark Descent delivered a compelling psychological horror experience that was simple but still wholly terrifying. The Amnesia Collection features the first game, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs (developed by The Chinese Room) and Amnesia: Justine. While the latter two range from above average to good, the entire collection is a steal for the amount of scares it provides.

Fewer games over the past decade have managed to frighten gamers like Amnesia has and Frictional Games knows it. The developer is collecting three of its most well-known games together with Amnesia: The Dark Descent, The Chinese Room’s Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs and Amnesia: Justine together into one frightening package called the Amnesia Collection. Which begs the question: Wasn’t Halloween last month?

The launch trailer highlights some of the more terrifying moments from these games including meeting the Shadow for the first time and confronting the Pig Men. The Amnesia Collection will be heading to PS4 and PC, thus bringing the original game to consoles for the first time. As for Amnesia: Justine, think of it as a Portal-esque side story that still maintains the creep factor of the other games.

Amnesia Collection is out now on Steam and PS4. What are your thoughts on the launch trailer and will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments below.

One of the most influential and best horror games of all time is Amnesia: Dark Descent. And now PlayStation 4 players will have the chance to play it and its expansion and sequel, because the Amnesia Collection has been announced for PlayStation 4 by Frictional Games.

These games were previously available to PC players only, meaning this collection becomes the first time that console players will get to play these games. “From the creators of SOMA, the Amnesia series ushered in a new age of horror gaming. Rather than cut-scenes and forced jump-scares, the Amnesia series wrapped fragile players within its grim embrace, beckoning them to explore and survive amid the darkness as it pulled at the frayed edges of sanity,” the press release accompanying the announcement of the collection reads.

You can check out the announcement trailer for the collection, as well as the list of games available in this package, below.  Amnesia: Collection is set to release on November 22nd digitally.
