    As a returning Frictional fan it shook up a slightly ponderous series to make something exciting and new. This is Frictional back on imaginative, exciting form, and I'd be happy seeing them do other slightly more contained projects like this. I'd also, of course, love to see something new - but it feels like Amnesia is a pocket dimension they can visit again. If it's an idea as well-rounded as The Bunker, I'm happy to go with them.

    Its few moments of real open space are haunting, and one encounter near the end subverts everything you expect from Amnesia’s monsters. I’m intrigued by the prospect of replaying it to explore more thoroughly and seeing what fans do with its systems, although I’m not sure when I’ll return. The Bunker feels like a studio moving out of its comfort zone — and taking players with it.

    Short game that is dragged out by making the monster insta-kill you, not allowing you to save and having bad collision detection. And theShort game that is dragged out by making the monster insta-kill you, not allowing you to save and having bad collision detection. And the monster is the xenomorph bone baby from Alien 4! By far the worst monster design by Frictional. It's topped up by an utterly terrible non-ending that leaves you feeling nothing.
    Rebirth wasn't the way to go but this isn't either.    … Full Review »

Game does not allow to turn back to desktop with Alt-tab, just paused. You have to wait minutes. You are silent but, however, monster finds you.
    So it's not good, no balance between intensity and story. And it's not even scary one hour later but annoying.    … Full Review »

It's supposed to be a scary, atmospheric game ;however, it turns into a CHEAP race against time. You can't see anything most of the time, you are always out of 'light'' the problem is the monster is constantly killing you. You cannot even enjoy the sceneary in this game. You can't take your time to figure out the puzzles. You gotta go back to the main room to look at the map, you have to know EXACTLY where you are going. GOOD LUCK PLAYING WITHOUT A WALKTHROUGH. The game is horribly designed. You will die unfairly because it's constantly pushing the monster at you while you run out of ''oil''. It's a bad game design. No thanks. I don't want to repeatedly die unless I go online and memorize the EXACT pattern of what to do next and try to do it as fast as possible! No thanks. I checked out after 70 mins. No thank you.… Full Review »
