    Underwhelming ending aside, Amnesia: The Bunker is an excellently crafted survival horror, with plenty of tension, dread, near misses and clever puzzles to keep us coming back for more.

    Amnesia: The Bunker is ahead of the class, achieving what many of its peers aspire to but often fall short of. If you’re a horror fan, this is a must play.

    Nothing in Amnesia: The Bunker feels like a waste of time except a strangely out-of-place final boss encounter. And though it’s a shame Frictional Games couldn’t muster up a spookier atmosphere to elevate the experience to its zenith, this is still an A-plus horror experience that all fans should play.

    Amnesia: The Bunker is a fantastic horror experience. Moreover, it is reminiscent of Alien Isolation. Yet, a simple antagonist AI undermines the tension. Thankfully, the darkness and The Stalker keep you on your toes.

    Amnesia: The Bunker is the best horror experience in the entire franchise. Frictional Games has fixed some issues with previous games, and wanted to leave the "free horror" label behind. The Bunker has the ability to blend the real terror experienced throughout WW1, and adds the fantasy of the monstrous creature that we used to in Amnesia storylines. The Bunker will, from now on, be the model to be followed by all those who base the terror gameplay experience in “walking simulators”, showing that there are more survival resources than just the legs to run.

    Using the conflict of the Great War as a background, Amnesia: The Bunker talks about human nature beyond the monsters that terrify us so much.

    Amnesia: The Bunker throws the player into a dark and distressing atmosphere, which however gradually gives way to a much less terrifying reality, composed of a few problems and a lot of backtracking.

    I’ve never been so conscious of how much noise everything makes around me in a digital space, cautiously entering rooms to avoid kicking an empty wine bottle or activating the flashlight intermittently when I knew the monster was near. As McKee described, it’s your mundane actions, in conjunction with the crude and hostile setting, that create a solid ceiling of sound — one that only grows thicker the longer you inhabit the bunker.

The monster’s design is scary, the atmosphere is terrifying, mechanics are really good, and the story is interesting. It’s a good game that will give you a great experience, I will highly recommend this game. Nevertheless the game haven’t make a great improvement with the texture and graphics (but they still look good though) ,and the game loading screen is too long and it takes a lot to start the game still this game is amazing and is definitely one of the most terrifying games of this 2023 year. I give this game a 9/10 totally recommended for everyone.… Full Review »

    Boring at the start but gave me a lot of jump scares so it was good in my book.

    Jogo que entrega um clima denso, sem precisar recorrer a ficar jogando coisas na tela . Ótimo jogo.
