Shifting towards a more open-ended structure, Amnesia: The Bunker's dynamic encounters and emergent gameplay make for one of the most terrifying horror experiences in recent memory.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a fantastic return to form for the developers behind The Dark Descent. If you want to experience terror locked in a dark cupboard underground, this is the game that will get you there.

When the issues of a game are rolled and stomped by its greatness, then it’s something to invest on if you have some spare.

Few horror games have garnered a reputation like the Amnesia series. Now spanning four separate games, the series is an anthology of experiences that draw on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Amnesia: The Bunker is the latest from the IP and it’s a fascinating turn indeed. Set during World War 1, you play as French soldier, Henri Clément, who after a very close call with death, awakens in the sick room of a Bunker that’s been torn apart.

Amnesia: The Bunker is the latest entry in the Amnesia series of games from developer, Frictional Games. This fifth entry takes a radical departure from previous Amnesia games. It is a contained experience all happening in, yep you guessed it, a bunker. A World War 1 bunker, to be exact.

In its best moments, Amnesia: The Bunker joins Outlast and Alien: Isolation at the pinnacle of this style of horror, but this is a game with a split identity.

The story is somewhat predictable, but Amnesia: The Bunker excels with its atmosphere and the kind of tense gameplay that will thrill genre fans.

These moments rival those of the best stealth games, when the slightest noise can mean revealing your position to much more powerful foes. Frictional has made a name for itself by creating these moments out of elegant yet terrifying systems. The Bunker’s standout achievement, then, is creating a nonlinear sandbox where you’re constantly learning from your own bad habits. 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 ...
