Already finished? What a pity.

In my opinion it goes to second place of Frictional Games productions (after SOMA). The technical part goes hand in hand with SOMA. The flavor is not science fiction but simply horror. Something new is added to the manufacturer: being able to fight (which i personally like a lot but this is just a matter of taste). Starting from Penumbra that I honestly hated a lot, passing through Amnesia "the Dark Descent" (much better for me and a very good game) and then SOMA, which i repeat, in my opinion is the best of Frictional Games productions, in this production full of atmosphere, suspense and fear, I give 4 stars instead of 5, which would deserve them, if it weren't for the fact that the game (the ability to fight aside) is too short. Great game anyway.

Superb Horror Game, My Fav By Frictional

In Penumbra, you're solving puzzles in an underground lab. In Dark Descent, you're learning about horrific torture methods while exploring a mysterious mansion. In both, unfortunately, you're running away from monsters and getting spooked from pretty good jump scares. Amnesia the Bunker is in a league of its own for numerous reasons: - In Amnesia the Bunker, you get to manage generator fuel so the monster isn't constantly lurking around. - You have a NOISY flashlight, which was a fantastic idea and makes even good visibility a risky endeavor. - You have to juggle inventory items and store them in a box like in oldschool Resident Evil games. - You get to explore the whole area in a very metroidvania fashion (get lighter to get wrench, get wrench to... etc). - You can spook off the monster for a short time with weapons and jury rigged devices like in Alien Isolation. These monster encounters are UNSCRIPTED except for a couple times, so if you make too much noise or leave the generator off, you're in for trouble. - There's a ton of different difficulty modes and numerous custom difficulty settings to tweak on your second playthrough. Couple that with randomized locker codes and item placement, and you have a short game with an fantastic amount of replayability. - The graphics isn't too demanding, but looks really good. Its scaling resolution option can make it playable on super old PCs or squeeze a ton of power from high-end GPUs. Also didn't crash once, so it's really stable too. This is horror at its absolute finest and my favorite game by Frictional yet. It's a must buy for fans of Horror games.

Desent amnesia game

The Bunker was an deviation from the usual Amnesia experience, but it told an ok story with fresh new gameplay mechanics that worked fine. I just think that Rebirth was the peak of this franchise and compared to that, this was just desent experience. Still worth a playthrough though.

Hide and seek

Play hide and seek with a (not) friendly roomate. Great new entry in the Amnesia series with a hint of rogue lite. A lot of fun and excitement !
