Amnesia: The Bunker is a truly terrifying experience that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your sanity. The overall experience is thrilling amidst all the horror, leaving me (almost) craving more. Almost.
Amnesia: The Bunker is an amazing step forward for the franchise that isn’t afraid to experiment on established mechanics without deviating too much from its DNA. For survival horror fans, even those who aren’t fans of the run-and-hide formula of the previous Amnesia games, the Bunker is a must to experience.
Amnesia is not a flagship of the genre. It doesn't pretend to be, and it doesn't even try to revolutionise the genre or its franchise. It evolves a little in its content and structure, but retains the same strength. Its job is to scare you for a few hours by immersing you in its world, and it succeeds perfectly. The Alien Isolation-style beast that stalks you incessantly makes you break out in a cold sweat, and the game is gripping. You'll simply have to get used to the decade-old gameplay. The problem is that it can also put some people off.

A successful game that adds a different flavor to the Amnesia series. It promises a satisfying few hours for horror thriller fans. It is also a good starting point for those who aren't familiar with the genre.

At its core, Amnesia: The Bunker is a monster of the week horror game that dips into the Amnesia lore pool but still feels more than accessible to someone who hasn't played or watched the games before. While the controls are rigid, the game shines in its use of atmosphere and survival elements which many will find enjoyable. The Bunker will have you running for your life in a deadly game of cat and mouse, even if the ending feels a little lacklustre.
Amnesia: The Bunker has done the impossible - turning an annoying game of cat and mouse into a strategic survival battle that will have you feeling the stress the whole time. The freedom in problem-solving and a light but enjoyable story are only dragged down by the dated look and problematic loading.

Amnesia: The Bunker is a step in the right direction and a culmination of Frictional Games' entire journey. It is both a return to the past, as well as laying the foundation for what the future of the series could be.

While there's some gameplay issues here and there, Amnesia: The Bunker is a short, tense, claustrophobic experience that's well worth your time.
Amnesia: The Bunker is not a game that you should skip, especially those of you who are fans of the genre, without this meaning that it will offer something innovative, as The Dark Descent

This new design for Amnesia with Amnesia: The Bunker allows the series to progress forward from its more linear experiences in the past.
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.
The new from Frictional Games is not capable of surpassing the barriers of games like The Dark Descent or Rebirth. However, it is still a good opportunity to understand and enjoy different readings of the same formula.

Amnesia: The Bunker is the series' lowest point, and doesn't give an indication for a hopeful future.
Amnesia: The Bunker comes together as a thrilling race against the clock that should keep even the most steely-nerved players on their toes.
Amnesia: The Bunker focuses on horror element while it relieves the burden of storytelling side. The overall ambiance of staying together in the bunker with mysterious monsters in the dark is well suited. In particular, the creepy sound effects such as monsters' howling and echoes in the cave did a great job holding the tension throughout the game.

Amnesia: The bunker is brought to life with powerful sounds and a great picture. It can feel like a – very disturbing and terrifying – escape room. In which you can't shake the feeling of being hunted.

Amnesia: The Bunker is, in its scope compared to the other titles of the series, a smaller experimental title, but it offers a few new neat tricks. It's up to you whether that's enough or not.

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. Combat feels out of place and mostly ends up being a navigation tool, while I would have liked to see better use of light as a defence against the creature. The story is somewhat predictable, but Amnesia: The Bunker excels with its atmosphere and the kind of tense gameplay that will thrill genre fans.
