PSA. Is this one any good?

Idk, I stopped at Rebirth. Dark Decent was the only good one.

>>723425550 (OP)
if you liked fallout shelter, then you'll like amnesia bunker

>>723425654
Isn't FO shelter a f2p game? I thought this was a proper single player game

>>723426151
Yes, it is. This game is singleplayer, Amnesia with guns. Takes place during WWI where you're a French soldier forced into some spooky bunker with a big scary monster stalking the tunnels hunting you.

>>723425550 (OP)
It's good, and even better for free.

It's not Penumbra or SOMA tho.

>>723427494
>It's not Penumbra
you have never played Penumbra

>>723427909
Kek I am old, son, I played it when it came out

>>723425550 (OP)
Arguably their best horror game and my favorite

Still not installing Epic Shit Store

Their only game with actual mechanics.

>>723425550 (OP)
Yes, worth a play. Charging your flashlight every 30 seconds gets annoying tho.

>>723428104
Look at the angry steam drone.

>>723425550 (OP)
>it's free
:)
>on Epic
:(

Your master needs another yacht.

what's wrong with Penumbra?

>>723425550 (OP)
The best Amnesia game and it's not even close.
It has serious mechanics instead of being a quasi walking sim and it's built to be replayed endlessly.

it's the only Amnesia with gameplay

>>723428379
>what's wrong with Penumbra?
nothing is wrong with it, no one played it, including myself.

>>723425550 (OP)
Yes, it's actually a video game. Buy it on sale at least give the devs some money so they keep making more.

next week's game doesn't look half bad for an indie game
anyone played it? steam reviews seem good but people saying it's cozy scare me a bit

>>723429002
what?

>>723429053
fear the spotlight or something like that, next free game on egs

>>723425632
this is you btw

>>723425550 (OP)
Bunker is easily the best Amnesia game since Dark Descent, plausibly top 3 horror games of the decade
It's worth it for 30 bucks let alone for free

>>723425550 (OP)
I really dont like the gameplay style of these games.
When the first amnesia game came out, I was fine with getting hyped up and intentionally not just running through to see the tripwires and scripted events. I played it slow to be immersed and make it more scary.
I wasnt sure what the deal was with the story. Initially I thought the 'shadow' could be you, and this was all a metaphor. But nah it wasnt, you're just in a creepy torture castle.

Anyways too many games with the you can fight monster, its a walking sim nonsense. To the point where its just boring hiding in some fucking closet to wait to sneak past.

I want more VOTV style games. Sandbox work sim where you get spooky events but you know the area because you have other reasons to explore and re-tread the same areas.

In these if you dont know the map in advance its like you may as well run through and die and see where you need to go and where you can hide and all that.

>>723428379
The first Penumbra is on the top of the toppest horror games you can play, absolute kino
Black Plague is cool too sincei it's the immediate sequel, but Requiem was rushed

When I played Amnesia I thought it as mid compared to it. Then SOMA came and thought that this was the Frictional Games I knew from Penumbra. Absolute peak.

i reeally liked the bunker but it's too damn short
it's probably still an unpopular opinion here because "le streamer bait" is shit that caught on too hard, but the dark descent is a fantastic video game and still the best amnesia. great atmosphere, story, art design, almost everything about it great

>what is media literacy

>>723425550 (OP)
RE9 prototype
Better wait for the 1.0 version with Grace

>>723429564
First Penumbra was great but i felt like Penumbra really hits a stride with Black Plague. Obviously the first game is mostly setup but BP is fantastic execution

Game is good. But be aware its only 4 hours long.

>>723426151
Just a little joke based on the names.

did they fix the randomized items thing? that ruined my initial playthrough. or at the very least the lighter needs to guarantee spawn at the beginning.

>>723429593
the problem i had when playing amnesia is, ironically, remembering all the details, i couldn't actually fucking tell you what the story is about other than some dude trying to harvest suffering to get back home

>>723425550 (OP)
It's great. It's a better first person Resident Evil than any of the actual first person Resident Evil games.

>>723425550 (OP)
should i play it with a controller or kb/m?

>>723430231
I don't think it really matters much since the game doesn't require precision aiming. I played with KB&M though and had no issues.

>>723430303
just deciding whether i should play it on the couch vs on the desktop. probably couch

>>723429784
Thank fucking god. It makes the game much more replayable and it doesnt drag on like Alien ISO

>>723425550 (OP)
It's the best one. I replay it every week, but I would not tell you to download Epic to play it. I'd sooner say just to pirate it, and get it on Steam after you enjoyed it.

>>723429784
Yeah, this >>723430731
I'd rather have a 4 hour game (~1 hour on replays) that I can play dozens of times, than a fucking 20 hour slog of copypasted rooms that's double the length of what it should have been.

>>723430731
how scary is it compared to alien?

>>723431434
Scarier, mostly because it's less scripted. Alien has tons of "flip switch to activate chase sequence" or "walk into room to see thing happen being glass" moments.
Counting the final encounter, Bunker has three guaranteed monster encounters total. One of which is one of those "see the monster behind glass" moments right at the start.
So how scary it is is kinda random outside those.

>>723431545
However In certain parts the monster AI is extremely exploitable to the point where he will feel like more of a "I need to complete this gameplay step now" than "Monster that is hunting you down"

>>723431685
but his hand coming out a hole while you come by is peak horror

>>723431727
Very true, the game is an incredibly effective horror game in most areas.
It's the first game to make me feel uneasy in a decade

>>723431685
Sure, but that's basically the game anyways. You have a quite literal shopping list of items you need to escape.
So on a replay, turn his Presence up to like near-max and his Aggressiveness to one tier higher than normal, and enable Unsafe Safe Room. It becomes harder to exploit then.

>>723429564
soma is trash and you have shit taste
it's a walking sim where you play a mongoloid (brain damaged canadian), the whole shallow theme is spoonfed through melodramatic expository dialogues and its entirely devoid of any meaningful gameplay or even puzzles, the ending is abysmally dumbed down

>>723430731
I do like how each playthrough after beating it once is randomly generated so all the items are in different locations and the locker combinations and codes are also changed. Really improves the replayability even more.

>>723432359
Go get the Survival mod. It adds more randomization.
>key items can swap places, or end up in new places
>a new random air vent cover, to give the wrench more use
>mortar shellings have a chance to turn the generator off
>unsafe saferoom now has three different variants, chosen at random
>some puzzles are more complicated and less easy to abuse

>>723432283
No, the way I played the game I only noticed a few times where he was exploitable organically
As with any AI of course it's exploitable, but the problem is that I immediately spotted those "exploit moments"

>>723432357
>soma is trash and you have shit taste

Bunker made me hopeful for Frictional again after how dogshit tbe gameplay for SOMA abd Rebirth were

>>723432906
He's not wrong. Soma is just Machine for Pigs but longer.

>hide and avoid franchise
no
