Procedurally generated environments in Amnesia: The Bunker? That’s brilliant! I love the replayability factor, and the idea of experiencing that level of unpredictable horror on the go is fantastic. Can’t wait!

I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ve heard the Switch ports of some games can be buggy, so I hope these are optimized well. The potential is definitely there, though, for a truly terrifying mobile experience.

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. The portability is key. I can finally play SOMA without having to be chained to my desktop. I’m already imagining playing in the dark on the train. Pure psychological horror.

I’m a bit worried about performance. These games are notoriously demanding, and I hope the Switch can handle them without major compromises. If they can pull it off, though, it’ll be amazing.

Love this! I’ve beaten Amnesia: Rebirth twice already, but I’ll gladly play it again. Portable horror? Yes, please!

While I love these games, I’m not entirely convinced the Switch is the best platform for them. The smaller screen might lessen the impact of the already terrifying atmosphere. We shall see.

Amnesia: Rebirth on Switch? Yes, please! I’ve been wanting to play this for ages but never got around to it on PC. Portable psychological horror? Count me in.
Slightly worried about the controls though, hope they are well implemented.

This is incredible! I’ve played all of these on PC and they are all amazing. I’m a little concerned that the Switch might not do justice to the graphics, but portability is a great trade off.
I’m especially excited to see how Amnesia: The Bunker plays on the Switch’s smaller screen.
PixelPusher7
While I’m thrilled to see these games on a new platform, I do have concerns about performance. Will the Switch handle the intense atmosphere and potentially demanding graphics of SOMA without compromising the experience?
I hope they don’t sacrifice quality for portability.

I’m just hoping the scares aren’t too intense for my poor heart!
