This is the one of the best franchise comeback in history, from the utter mediocrity that was Rebirth. Unlike other Amnesia game, this one is much more open and the monster is way more aggressive, I feel they really learned some of the better tricks from Alien Isolation and applied it to this new entry, while maintaining the Amnesia formula.
This entry experiments on noise-based game mechanics, the monster will react to noise, with each of your actions, including your flashlight will generate noise for vision. Props to Frictional for the return of the revolver, which doesn't detract from the fear factor as much as it did in Penumbra. Many of the earlier game mechanics have been cut down which makes for a simpler game without it being dumbed down.
My only complain is that there are some unavoidable deaths from the randomness of the monster's presence, especially on higher difficulty, as the monster often roams the bunker randomly waiting for you to make the slightest noise. Sometimes the randomness of the monster means there is simply no possible escape and opening a flashlight means alerting the monster, hard to find yourself or the monster in complete darkness.
Don't be dissuaded by reaction streamer to try the excellent Amnesia collection, as they some of the most hair-rising horror games to date.
