In my opinion, on par with the first game. This game tried something completely new, sacrificing the fleshed out story Frictional Games is so used to developing by now into a purely gameplay focused horror game. And it's pretty great!
Without a doubt, I don't think I've ever been so dreadfully scared of something in a horror game. I've played my fair share of them by now, but this felt like playing Alien: Isolation for the first time all over again. The monster's AI is miles better than anything we had seen in Amnesia before, and every single sound you make can be detrimental to your safety.
As always, Frictional delivers with a great setting, this time being in WW1. Although I do have to say this isn't the BEST setting though, as I feel it lacks that cosmic horror touch the other games always implement.
By far, the best resource management in any of the Amnesia games as well. The limited inventory allowed for an experience where I was constantly doing scouting and gathering runs inside the different areas of the bunker. This, combined with your generator that constantly needs to be refueled to allow for safer exploration.
Also, the scarce resources available have several different uses; which means that things like your revolver's bullets aren't only meant to be used as a defensive measure, but to unlock doors or use them on explosive barrels/traps.
Overall, super fun game and definitely recommended alongside TDD.
