I didn't find it to be original, nor particularly entertaining.
I liked what happened before though, but I felt like it's 90% atmosphere and not much else. I'll pick it up again though and finish it one day soon and maybe my opinion will change.
edit :
I think there's some psychology behind people praising games like Amnesia which stems from a knee-jerk reaction to support indie developers, particularly when they do something different from everyone else. Amnesia deserves a lot of praise, definetly, but I think the hype may well make out the game to be better than it really is. I wonder if people would have liked it so much had it been developed by Ubisoft f.ex.

Your probably right.`But i liked how the game never tried to be fun or give you a sense of reward. There's a section later on where if u die that's the end of the game.
I really liked how physics based and grounded in reality the puzzles were. I'm used to resident evil where you collect a key to open a box that has a half-circle which combined with another half circle opens up a door to the big key etc.
In amnesia your just throw a chair out a window to get through the window.
