The Amnesia games are frequently cited as being some of the most frightening horror outings ever made. Although some regard Rebirth to be the weakest entry, this game still delivered plenty of tension as players descend further down the plot’s twisted rabbit hole.

While there are numerous sequences in Rebirth that will have players' hearts racing, there are unfortunately some moments that miss the mark and become more annoying than scary.

One such moment came just over halfway into the game when protagonist Tasi finds herself trapped in a maze with one of the game’s monstrous creatures.

Trying to solve a maze while being hunted is already a difficult enough task, but Rebirth adds to the frustration by including pressure plates that block-off corridors. Since this is an Amnesia game, players will also have to play most of this section in darkness or risk drawing the creature’s attention.

Though skulking around the dark initially makes for a tense encounter, any suspense soon fizzles out after the first few times players make a wrong turn and get caught by the creature or after aimlessly wandering around for far too long after getting lost.

Luckily, there's a far better Amnesia game in store for players not long after this section.
