Penumbra is a first person horror adventure focusing on story, immersion and puzzle solving. Violence and combat is hardly an option - the player has to use wits to guide Philip through his final test, and this makes the series unique in offering a truly dangerous and terrifying experience.
Jeden z najlepszych horrorów, jakie kiedykolwiek powstały niemal bez dwóch zdań. Nawet późniejsza "Black Plague" nie podobała się mi tak bardzo, jak ta część. Niesamowity, duszny klimat, idealnie dozowane napięcie i ta ciągła niepewność, co będzie dalej. Panie i Panowie - właśnie tak robi się niezapomniane gry. Frictional Games, czapki z głów!
PS. "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" straszy lepiej, ale to "Penumbra" przetarła szlak i pokazała, jaki potencjał kryje się w tym szwedzkim studiu. Gorąco polecam każdą ich grę.
Music 9/10
Sounds 8/10
Voice Actors/Acting 10/10
Athmopshere 10/10
Level Desing 9/10
One of the three best horror games of all times! (Along with Penumbra: Black Plague and Amnesia: The Dark Descent) Compared to Frictional Games' A:TDD , Penumbra has harder puzzles.
Hmmm what game has very good puzzles? "ummm"
What game has, you know what **** this, all I wanna freaking say is this ******* game is AWESOMEMMEMEMEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best games I have ever played. For me it is THE definition of the Horror Adventure Genre.
Level Design:
++Balanced Details
++Enough Object Interactions
++Perfect Dark Ambient Lighting
++Clear level structure
++Scale Perfect (neither long times to walk)
Gameplay:
++Physics Interactions(Door Physics)
++Easy operable HUD(Inventory)
-Playtime could be longer :P
Story:
++Enough Background Information
++Well narrated with the notes
-More other mediums to narrated the story(Maybe short movies on tv screens)
Sound Design:
++Plain and realiable sounds
++Not to much background music
++Terrifiying melody if the monster chase you
But for the first project as a gaming company (if my informations are right) Well done! :)
what is t.. o no ... ooo nooooo!. Run!!!
I only played the demo but, I will tell you what I liked from it. The story was interesting, the puzzles was challenging, and through the demo, I was close to the screen waiting for something scary and when it did, I jumped. This a definite competitor to amnesia, great game!
Awesome game, and definitely the most combative out of all three games in the series. A solid dangerous ride all the way through, it also provided puzzles and environmental dangers. Damn those spiders! The very end with hallway literally scared me to death...
One of the most underrated games of all time, a masterpiece of atmosphere, storytelling and horror, recommended to all
But So Scary And Nice Game Am A Liker Games For Horror And I Like Games For Horror Is Amnesia The Dark Descent And Penumbra Packages And Anna And Paranormal
