The title sums up my experience. You play as a soldier named Henri who wakes up in an underground World War 1 bunker full of unpredictable horrors. Dread will accompany you wherever you decide to venture in the semi-open world since the Beast, unpredictable in its nature and hair-raising in its design, is drawn both to the dark and the sounds you make. The Amnesia series is about balancing the light and dark, handling it in a fresh yet utterly stressful way in its most recent entry.

As for the gameplay, The Bunker surpasses its predecessors greatly by introducing crafting, tools, traps, firearms, scarce resources, omnipresent enemy AI, non-linearity and freedom to tackle the obstacles in different ways. However, be mindful that this is no action game; you have barely enough bullets to defend yourself in an emergency so it’s better to resort to stealth. On the downside, though, are the small map, lack of environmental variety, bland story and constant back-tracking to the only save room to fill the generator and store items. It’s probably just me, but trekking through the same halls of the bunker often felt like a chore rather than an adventure.

Amnesia: The Bunker is frustrating to play on higher difficulty levels so start with easy or normal. Since I’m not a fan of open-world survival horror with weapons, I’m glad Frictional Games took into account the more casual side of the gaming community by adding the easy mode and accessibility options. While not entirely my cup of tea, I think The Bunker is a genuinely amazing and nerve-wracking game to suffer through. And you will die. A lot, I mean.
