Amnesia series
Amnesia: The Dark Descent is probably the single most important horror game of the 2010s. Inspiring a handful of imitators that have seemed to lap it ever since, like the Outlast games, Amnesia gave rise to the genre of horror titles that disempowered the player character. Rather than provide tools or weapons to combat the terrors with, Amnesia has always leaned into the notion that these nightmares are absolutely terrifying things that we’re better served running away from. Amnesia plunged players into darkness, asking them to take care of their sanity and flee from things that dare lurk in the dark.
Since the first game was released, Amnesia has spawned a series of increasingly weird and experimental games, including Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs and the immersive sim Amnesia: The Bunker. Though The Bunker is available on Game Pass, it is also on sale for $10 bucks right now. Amnesia: Collection (compiling The Dark Descent, A Machine for Pigs, and Justine) is going for $4.49. Another sequel, titled Amnesia: Rebirth, is also available for the same price.
