How distressing it is, then, to know that standing beside the generator for the next few hours would be little more than a death sentence. Availability: Out 6 June on PC ( Steam, Epic Games), coming soon to PS4, Xbox One, Series X/S.It may be the delirium talking – I'm tired and scared and endlessly seeing things that aren't really there in the gloom of the corridors (at least, I hope they're not really there?) – but as long as I'm in here, standing next to my warm, chattering chum, I think I'll be okay.

I didn't think I'd close out this week being best friends with a generator, but here we are. So it’s definitely on my radar as a horror game of major interest to me, but I’m going to wait for more impressions before I jump in.Amnesia: The Bunker corrects the missteps of its predecessors and adds in a sense of invention, creating a truly unsettling adventure.

And the lack of handholding and maze like level design could potentially be very frustrating if you’re also dealing with an unkillable enemy and timed resource limited supplies like generator fuel, so it depends on how that’s balanced.Īnd the narrative seems like it doesn’t seem like nearly as much of a draw as their previous games, but maybe they’re just keeping that under wraps. Resident Evil environments are particularly good at offering moments of respite and beauty along with the claustrophobic and dark areas. The titular bunker I fear might be a bit too monotonous and overbearing of a setting to maintain interest and offer the peaks and valleys that sustain a tense survival horror experience. So that all sounds really excellent to me, since the amount of actual survival horror games that demand players to make difficult choices and plan routes and prioritize objectives is pretty small, at least in the mid/high budget range.īut I am a bit skeptical of some aspects. It sounds like a really interesting evolution of both the Amnesia/Alien: Isolation brand of survival horror, as well as classic Resident Evil style and pushing it forward with experimentation, less hand holding, and more procedural elements to keep players on their toes.
