Amnesia: Rebirth Nintendo Switch 2 Review 6/10 🤰"Did it Thrill Me, Intrigue Me and Scare Me?" #GameDev #IndieGame

Even by the generally miserable standards of horror game protagonists, Tasi Trianon has a real bad time in Amnesia: Rebirth. Barely ten minutes go by between things happening that, if they happened to you, would be the low point of your year.

By now, many fans of horror games will be familiar with Trinanon’s woes. Rebirth was initially released back in 2020 on Windows and PlayStation 4, the sequel to 2010’s Amnesia: The Dark Descent and 2013’s Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Both of the latter games have languished unplayed in my Steam back catalogue for years, but thankfully, you don’t need to have played them to enjoy Rebirth.

And I’m pleased to confirm I did enjoy Rebirth quite a bit. One of my benchmarks for enjoying a game is it giving me an experience I haven’t had before. On paper, it doesn’t. Rebirth is boilerplate horror gaming, delivering a spooky atmosphere, an isolated heroine, monsters hunting you, and tense environmental puzzles.

Gulikit TMR Joysticks for Joy-Con 2 🎮

Those of us who had the original Nintendo Switch will probably have awful memories of the sticks drifting as I did….on multiple occasions.

The Switch 2 uses similar technology and so stick drift could unfortunately be a thing in the future for some folks.

To this end, Gulikit have released the TME Joysticks for use with the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con 2 as replacements for the Nintendo-installed thumb-sticks. These are designed for repair use, and so there will be a requirement to take apart your Joy-Con 2 should you wish to install them, although once you do, the only drifting you’ll be doing is in Mario Kart!
