So the story goes.

AMY currently has a 22% rating on Metacritic, which is often very telling that something is “bad.” However, one of AMY’s developers says that the game isn’t broken or bad, just that it’s hard.

Over on AMY’s official Facebook page, a developer of the title spoke out, saying, “As many of you have already heard, AMY is a HARD game. Some people totally disliked that while other really enjoyed it. We believe this is part of the survival experience we tried to build as we wanted the game to be challenging. However, we actively listen to the community and comments and hence recommend the non-hard core gamers to launch the game in EASY mode (in the settings) for now.

This will give them a much more pleasant and smoother experience, especially as the checkpoints are scarce.”

Well…I just got a review download code in my inbox, so I guess I’ll let you lot know soon. In the meantime, I suggest snagging the demo. Our writer Colin Kitler had a bout with the title and shared his thoughts.
