That game was very good, but it wasn't scary at all.
I'm serious. The only time I was scared was when I was first introduced to the pigman in the dark. And at the end of the piston room, I was terrified. But from then on, all that ever happened was walking, puzzles, a small visit from the water monster, and a mindfuck ending that reminded me of Bioshock Infinite's. I believe that they could have done a lot more with the horror aspect and insanity, but it turned out to be a small but well made game that didn't really live up to The Dark Descent's horror factor.

Has anyone else finished the game? If so, what are your thoughts?

Note to self:
Don't buy games that just came out.

Haven't played the game all the way through. But I can say this: the writing and music are beautiful. Where The Dark Descent passed in those factors, A Machine for Pigs exceeds greatly.

I feel that my verdict will be the same when finished. The Dark Descent will have the gameplay and horror of a true horror game, but A Machine for Pigs will have the storytelling of a masterpiece.

Note to self:
Never trust talking toilets.
EDIT:
Also, I must say, the story was very interesting and well written. However, I knew the plot twist before it even happened. It was obvious.

I think pretty much everyone knew it deep in their hearts, but they all wanted to deny it. It still was kind of heartbreaking when it happened nonetheless.

Slightly off the current topic, I was like this when I preordered Animal Crossing: New leaf and it was good:

I am going to kill you....so bad right now...BECAUSE I NEED THAT GAME

Thats why I don't really buy any new games anymore, 90% of them are nothing but dissapointment.

The story started off REALLY good. But as it went on it just became so damn weak and lost all connection to itself.
I wasn't scared in the least and quite offended by the fact that they dared to put in cheap jumpscares at some places.

Finished the whole game in just about 3 hours. With 2 sessions and while eating some lunch inbetween. Meh.

I'm glad I didn't buy this game now, I might as well save for Half-life episode 3... maybe I can be like Fry from Futurama and make billions of pounds from interest.
