BERLIN: With eerie game worlds and dangerous monsters, the “Amnesia” franchise has established itself as an absolute insider tip in the survival horror game genre. The fourth installment, “The Bunker,” doesn’t hold back with shock scenarios either.
The game is set during World War One. Players slip into the boots of French soldier Henri Clement who, while trying to save a friend on the battlefield, loses consciousness and wakes up in a dark bunker. At first the shelter seems abandoned, but it soon becomes clear that it’s inhabited by a ravenous monster.
In search of a way to freedom, you comb the underground prison from a first-person perspective. Tools, weapons, and ammunition are sparse in the catacombs and the limited resources have to be used sparingly. The lights only work thanks to a diesel generator and as soon as the tank is empty, you’re in complete darkness again.
All in all it’s an absolute nightmare. The deadly beast can lurk around every corner and escaping is a tremendous challenge. “Amnesia: The Bunker” is definitely not for gamers with weak nerves but an eerie hunt where you never feel safe, in a labyrinth full of twists and turns.
“Amnesia: The Bunker” is available for PCs, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Series X/S and costs about €25/US$25 (RM61 in Malaysia). – dpa
