Out of all Frictional games, even Soma, Rebirth is their most spectacular. As in, it has the most spectacle, grand environnement, a sense of scale unmatched by the other games.
It's not as scary as the Penumbra games and the original Amnesia because of it, and Soma is more about existential questions.
Some who just want survival horror mixed with chases and jumpscare will indeed be disappointed. That's okay too, this game is more of an adventure though not a walking sim, there's too much gameplay to be called as such.
As for the horror type... Unlike Amnesia TDD, where the eldritch horror chase you down until you reach the bottom, this game isn't actually about that, the horror... is the victims made along the way I suppose. The protagonist is innocent, unlike TDD, and the antagonist is both victim and perpetrator.
It was a very enjoyable experience to me, so I recommend it. Just don't expect the same tense gameplay of The Dark Descent.

This game was fantastic. 90% of the negative reviews for this game, are from people who don't enjoy story games. if you hate story games. you will not like this game. but if you like story games and horror. this is one of the best ones i have ever played. i was blown away so many times! The visuals and level design is incredible. the atmosphere is really good. the puzzles are great. and the story is interesting and you always wanna know what happens next. and ofcourse, the game is scary. 9/10 (❤️ w ❤️)

I really liked this one, not as much as the original amnesia, but it's got some really good scares. Probably one of the games that scared me the most when i played it.
