If you're wanting to dive into the macabre world of Sanctuary, here's our review of Diablo 4.Īmnesia: The Bunker adds more to the franchise's formula than ever, while retaining what makes it unique.

This is done through environmental storytelling and in the form of notes you can find around the world - but it paints a clear picture of how things went wrong in the bunker, while also presenting a mystery about the origins and identity of The Bunker's monster. While the plot has taken a backseat in favour of gameplay - the story boils down to escaping the bunker by blowing up the entrance - there's plenty of attentive worldbuilding that forms its own narrative. It's immediately obvious that something is amiss, and the conflict raging directly above ground quickly becomes the least of your worries as you find yourself trapped in the bunker with a monster that can stalk you almost anywhere. This is almost certainly a deliberate response to the complaints of the previous game focusing too much on narrative and not developing the gameplay enough, as The Bunker is ostensibly a gameplay-first experience, and it's felt throughout the final product.įurther into your journey, you'll help out a fellow soldier in a tight spot before waking up from a coma below ground in your platoon's bunker. While this section may be short, it's crucial for helping you get to grips with The Bunker's controls and new features, putting those mechanics to the front and centre.

As a French soldier during WW1, Henri Clement, you'll find yourself out in the trenches as the battle rages on around you.

Amnesia: The Bunker has a surprisingly action-filled beginning, which works wonders as an introduction to both the world and its mechanics.
