Recommended for: When comparing Amnesia: The Bunker to the previous games, the major change is that there is more focus this time on the gameplay than the story. This doesn't mean the story is bad, it's actually pretty decent. If you read other reviews, you’ll frequently see that it's compared to Alien: Isolation (one of my favorite games). I agree that it has certain similarities, and if you like that game, then be sure to give this one a try.

If you don't know Alien: Isolation, the gameplay in Amnesia: The Bunker is basically about trying to find your way out of the bunker while a monster is hunting you. It relies heavily on sound-based game mechanics. Depending on the difficulty and the noise you make, the monster can find your location and will try to kill you. You will learn more about the story as the game progresses. So, Amnesia: The Bunker has interesting gameplay, which is a nice mix of stealth and action, along with a decent horror story. If you find this interesting, then be sure to check this one out.

Keep in mind that this game is more challenging than the previous Amnesia games, because of the focus on the gameplay. There are no puzzles in the game, and the specific gameplay mechanics might not be your thing if you're a traditional adventure gamer.

My experience: I was surprised the developers went in this direction with the focus on gameplay, but I have to admit it works pretty well in this game. Still, I wasn't as engaged with it as I was with Alien: Isolation. Maybe because the story was a bit too generic for my taste, so I wasn't fully immersed in the game. It was still ok overall, but I think Amnesia: The Dark Descent had a much better story. Even so, I had a good time playing Amnesia: The Bunker. Almost made me forget my traumatic experience with Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs. Almost...

Technical: I had no technical issues while playing. (W10,7800X3D,RX7800XT)

Personal Rating: 4/5

Frictional Games once again showing us why they are masters of horror, if SOMA wasn't enough to convince you, this will.

I will preface this by saying. I never want to play this game again. Not because its a bad game. In fact, its excellent, but it gave me PTSD. The atmosphere, music and tension, combined with tight level design create a perfect storm. This game quite easily matches Amnesia:TDD if not surpasses it. The game does a great job at conveying that you are rat in a bunker, stuck with an unknown predator. Aside from the ending being a bit lukewarm, the game is excellent and worth your money entirely.

i can only assume that this game is good because im too scared to play more than the thirty minutes i already have
