I had a mixed relationship with the game. I have played all previous Amnesia games and remember them fondly. Even Rebirth who some people didn't like, was one of my favorites, since it was something different, more of the world to explore. And a lot of the previous games had a more sci-fi element to it, which I really missed in The Bunker. There is a monster in a bunker, and that's the whole premise.

I was expecting more puzzles and more things to discover, a lot of it is just a game of hide and seek. It's still a good horror game don't get me wrong, it has the scary element really dialed in, and in a sense it's more of a return to how the original Penumbra games, so I see what they were going for. Problem is also that on normal difficulty, the game can be quite annoying at times, because you only have one spot where you can manually save the game and you may have to re-do a lot of the game if you get it wrong. So if you don't want the annoyance try the easier difficulty, since you can't change it later.

Pretty scary horror game that tells a story of several family members. The atmosphere is great and a lot of play is with the light and dark, dark being your enemy so you always have to use your trusty lighter or a flashlight. The house also plays with you a bit and you will often see lights switched off or other spooky phenomena. The game is divided into three distinct chapters, each telling the story of one person and with a different playstyle. Overall I found it enjoyable, although sometimes you are left a bit in the dark as to what to do, but it's never too annoying. Good for fans of the genre.

This is a game that really surprised me in a positive way. On first glance it looks like it might be a small indie game, but it's really a proper game, rivaling the bigger games out there. There is plenty of story and gameplay, and the game system is nicely fleshed out with a lot of upgrades, weapons, gadgets, etc. But what matters most is the story and this game has a great one. A small team of scientists is sucked through something a like a wormhole and you are taken to another planet with a civilization that once was, but is nowhere to be seen, and you have to find out what happened. Really a must game for any fan of sci-fi exploration and action.

Really lovely game about two space explorers trying to find something worthwhile on this remote planet. And they find a lot of life where there didn't seem any. The gameplay is really enjoyable mix of exploration, puzzles, and a lot of satisfying vacuuming of GUNK. Trust me, it always delivers. There is also a very nice and heart warming story to boot, you might something more than you expected. Game is great and you should give it a try.

It was a decently spooky game with a coherent story. The creepy statues definitely add to the atmosphere, and this game is all about that. The setting is a great choice, and there are plenty of things to discover and some clever puzzles to solve, but none too hard. Overall I think you can't fault it for this price, for horror fans it should fit right in.

Loved the concept of them game, being a radio DJ doesn't really sound that exciting at first, but when you mix in a murderer on the loose and you being responsible to uncover the truth, it's really thrilling. The gameplay is you accepting calls and trying to get and also provide help on what's going on out there. But you also have to find clues around the studio, every call can be a sort of mini game or a puzzle to solve, and it's satisfying when you do solve it. The heart of the game is definitely the dialogue you maintain with your coworker, who you can only see a visage of, but she becomes your friend in need. Can you solve the mystery, you should give it a try.

Quite an interesting game. It's not your typical point and click adventure, there is a lot more to this game, as you find out. You are caught in a sort of time loop, and each loop you discover something you might not have before. It sounds tedious but it's really fun, as all your discoveries are remembered by your character. So there is some nifty puzzles, a lot of character dialogues (maybe too much) and a good story to go with it. In the end it does become a bit much to comprehend , but overall it's a really good game to play.

Still a fun game, just like the first one. Basically it's a lot more of the same, which is a good thing, but they've also added some new stuff, and also removed some. Like I liked some of the new locations and the weapons, especially the moon base is great. But then I found in the first game there used to be challenges which were fun, like tossing cows, gliding, etc. Now you get some optional tasks on your main missions, but other than that it's just the regular collectibles that are a chore if you were to try to find all. The game gives you a sort of detector for it but it's useless. But overall it's still a fun game with plenty of fun gameplay, it just lost a bit of originality from the first one.

I enjoyed this game way more that I thought I would. At first when I read that it's just a "story" that you observe I was dubious, but it is so much fun to be able to walk about the place, uncover new details to the story with each characters you follow, and really unique. And the story ended up being a lot more intriguing, especially if like love sci-fi. Basically it's like watching a really good movie, but instead of having a fixed camera, you are the camera, and you can go where you want. Definitely try it out.

Really loved this game, everything is just so perfectly done. The story obviously is is the main thing, it's intriguing, and gets better along the way. The characters and voice acting are top notch, the communication between you and your pal in orbit in basically the heart of the game. And then there's the detailed environments and designs, everything just looks so good, like out of a proper movie set. I took my time exploring and didn't rush it, and I still wanted more in the end. Hopefully in the future we get a sequel.
