Boy what a blast I don't want to get too emotional with this one.

No doubt Dark decent is better than machine for pigs but bunker is better than machine for pigs.

This one is set during the WW1 era, BAM, one of the greatest eras in human history, the impact of the machine gun, the innovation.

This game is classic horror.



This game gives you horror we haven't seen, it's the chase by a prowler, keeping electricity on, health everything to me this game has horror charm other games don't give you.

Does GAF agree that bunker is better than machine for pigs?

What does GAF think of bunker?

 

[Sorne]

It's amazing. Definitely also took me by surprise. I love how they actually made it more into a survival horror, with limited resources and a single big map with blocked off areas. Highly recommend it

 

[Carter Burke]

Amazing game.

 

[struggler_guts]

I only played it for like 10 minutes.
The Dark Descent was said to be one of the best horror games but it was insanely disappointing. Then machine for pigs was a joke. This seemed to be more of the same with the same shitty door mechanics and disembodied voices talking to you from nowhere

The unpredictably of the Stalkers behavior "ruined" the game for me essentially. I really like games like this, where you need to hide from your enemies. But this is only fun when the enemy act somewhat predictable. I often hid for ~5 minutes straight, the stalker would not leave, but would eventually find me, even if I was still in hiding in the same spot and did not move.

To bad, since the rest, like atmosphere, story(!), puzzles were very good. As stupid as it may sound, but I think the game plays best in the easy-mode where there is no stalker at all.

Yup, Alien Isolation did this way better.

I think AI was bad in this a well (on a higher difficulty setting) until you got the flamethrower to defend yourself. The later half of AI was way more enjoyable because of this.

I would argue that atypically from the other games from the same developer, this game does actively encourage you to not sit and hide for 5 minutes, but instead use the weapons and tools at your disposal to scare away the creature.

 

[Bartski]

One of the best pure horror games of late and studio fully redeemed after Rebirth. Don't sleep on it

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

The controls ruined it for me.

 

[Orbital2060]

It has been a while since a game managed to freak me out like this. Well done.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

This is the kind of game I prefer to watch instead of play, this is strange, controls and mechanisms ruin it for me, and for all the Amnesia series. I tried to play Amnesia Rebirth, and I failed miserably because I was not actually enjoying playing it but enjoyed watching no commentary streams. Atmospheres are just incredible, I love them so much.

 

[Lions Gate]

Alien isolation is one of my top game of all time. i was desperately rooting for a sequel or any other games to come close to it until i played the bunker

 

[Connificent]

Rebirth is the only one I finished.

 

[Flabagast]

Awesome game, with genuine novel ideas for the future of survival horror.

 

[rofif]

I loved penumbra and Soma especially.
Especially safe mode in Soma since I hate hiding from monsters. It's boring.
I only watched a stream of this and it seem kinda... yeah monster, run, you can't kill it

 

[Arachnid]

This is such a god tier game. IMO easily one of the best horror games ever made. It blows my mind that it had a 2 year dev cycle and moved Frictional's formula forward that hard.

It's been two years since release. I wonder what they've been working on since.

 

[semiconscious]

someday, i'll manage to get past the first 2 hours of this game. so far, i've tried twice, & failed. it just bores me...

The transparently stupid and magical AI ruins these types of games for me. Like in Alien Isolation when for the tenth time you stand in a locker and the alien walks in a circle near you, finally scampers off after wasted time doing nothing, you exit and suddenly bam gotcha lolz. It's just not tense or scary to me, you see the seams and strings being pulled too much imo and it's just annoying.

There was a mod for Alien Isolation the greatly improved the AI behavior. It would check near you when obvious from sounds, but wouldn't do the obvious magnet effect of staying within your range.

Maybe that'd be worth checking on PC. The game is constantly on mega sale anyway. I played it on Playstation.

Also on topic, I keep buying Amnesia games and then never like them? I'm a dumbass.
