Great Amnesia experience

Amnesia The Bunker is pure survival horror. All the inessentials have been stripped away, leaving the player, an open map, and a monster. Becaues Frictional are really nice people, they've put in some gentle play modes for those who just want the atmosphere (very easy, easy, normal), but honestly if that's what you need I'd look elsewhere. This game is at its best when the tension is high and you're crawling around in the dark with no clue what to do. For all new players, I actually recommend playing on Hard for your first playthrough. I found Normal to be a little too generous with fuel and goodies, making it pretty easy to have the generator on all the time and to get rid of the monster when needed. Hard has scarcer resources and a more aggressive monster, giving an excellent first experience. After you finish hard, you have the option to play Shell Shocked, which is nuts, or to make a custom difficulty map. For those like me for whom Shell Shocked is a bit excessive, I recommend setting the custom difficulty to Hard settings, but adding in the hardcore medical mode and the fusebox mode, along with randomized lockers. Those three settings + Hard make for a truly glorious, nuanced, and intense game. Explore everything. Learn from your mistakes. Try crazy shit. And be prepared to make multiple runs from each save before you learn/accomplish enough to save again. At the outset, there is a lot of "what the hell am I to do?" scrouging around, especially when all your routes are cut off by rats. But keep foraging, keep hiding, and eventually you find something that breaks open another part of the map. Good luck soldier.

I had to stop multiple times

Had to pee before starting a play session or I'd piss myself

This is not that good

I love the Amnesia series, but ever since The Dark Descent, Frictional games doesn't seem to get right balance of horror anymore (excluding Soma, which is amazing!). The thing here is, there is too much horror. And yes, that is a bad thing. You die so often, that the monster stops being scary and becomes annoying. And those stupid rats with their headlight eyes totally ruin the atmosphere... I really wanted to love this, but I can't. The game is actively working against itself, undermining itself. There should have been more puzzles and discovery. The game is at it spookiest when the monster isn't seen, but heard growling behind the walls. Another thing that sucks is that the monster cannot be predicted in most instances. There is no scanner like in Alien Isolation that messes with your anxiety. Nope. There it suddenly is, and bam your run in ruined. This game has a great start, and can genuinely scare you at first. But after a while, it become a chore, and the monster a bore. And the weird roguelite kinda gameplay loop just doesn't fit really well. The Dark Descent > Rebirth > A Machine For Pigs > The Bunker

A successful experiment

If I have to rate Amnesia: The Bunker as part of the series, I'd say it's 4/5 because of the prioritizing of gameplay instead of plot; but I won't do it, since the devs properly inform us that this title is experimental and puts focus on other elements. So, these 5 stars are for the game standing on its own (with a caveat). - The atmosphere is top notch - we can feel the tension of being the last person alive left in this massive underground complex with an apex hunter that has killed dozens of our friends. The environmental storytelling, combined with the notes found throughout the location, makes this a rather personal experience. - The sound design is fantastic - from the ambience of different parts of the bunker to the explosions, dialogues, and the monster in its different states, each move or action is immersive due to the audio and physical effects. - Engaging, tense, dynamic game mechanics - I constantly had to scavenge for resources, even at the end of the game. Each trip for more resources introduces risks - from losing yourself in a maze of booby-trapped tunnels to alerting the monster that dinner is ready next to its hole, you're constantly on edge (bonus points for the ability to accidentally crash the serenity at some point by tripping on a chair or other piece of furniture). - Graphically supreme & technically secure - top-notch lighting system, mostly fluid animations, and minimal amount of bugs and glitches in my playthrough. I have only one serious problem with the game, and its the ending. The last 15 minutes of the game were, personally, very frustrating due to the trial & error nature of that section. That, combined with the abrupt ending without a strong, relevant closure to the story, leaves a sour taste for, arguably, the most important moment. Haven't noticed others sharing this problem + it may have been due to time or budget constraints, which is why I won't detract a star, but I find it worth mentioning. Successful experiment overall.

Great horror game

Got it on Steam and I loved it. Short but really intense. The narration is at your pace and don't have to suffer long expostion. And for once in a video game you play a French soldier.
