Apr 30, 2018The Bunker is a good exponent of the FMV genre that contains an interpretation, plans and a sound environment that have nothing to envy to many movies from the world of cinema and television. However, it’s almost as short as a real movie and some of the interactions that it proposes to us can be improved both in the response of the joystick and in the weight they have in the story.

Apr 9, 2018The Bunker puts legacy FMV games to shame, delivering a slickly produced psychological horror experience for the price of a trip to your local cinema. The Switch release offers both the touchscreen comfort of the mobile version and the cinematic immersion of the home console versions, so there’s no better place to catch up if you skipped it first time round. However, lack of pointer control is a sorely missed opportunity to improve on the original release.

Apr 23, 2018The Bunker weaves a decent plot, is well cast, and certainly has its moments of intensity. This was a genre that people thought was dead and buried back in the early era of CD Roms, thanks to the inaccessibility of talented actors, cinematographers, and story writers leading to trash like Night Trap dominating the genre. What a difference a few decades make. If The Bunker is anything to go by, there might be a bright future for these experiences yet.

Mar 29, 2018The Bunker is a genuinely scary insight into loneliness and isolation. The setting and cast of characters really help bring its unsettling story to life, but the minimal interaction may put off a few people. I do wonder if it would've been more successful as a movie.

Apr 9, 2018The Bunker absolutely nails the tense, oppressive atmosphere that it works so hard to build, but the limited interactivity makes it feel more like an interactive movie than a game. The story is fantastic and surprisingly grounded, but the tension the game works so hard to build is eroded by a distinct lack of interactivity and consequence.

Apr 10, 2018The Bunker on Nintendo Switch is a little hard to recommend, but will certainly find an audience in those who love horror films and want something dreary and dark on their console. While visually impressive and ambitious, it unfortunately falters with its execution and replayability.
-
Apr 9, 2018The story is intriguing enough for what it's worth, and the lonely atmosphere does stand out as particularly strong, but The Bunker mostly meanders for two hours before rushing to a conclusion devoid of thematic or narrative substance.
