Penumbra: Overture was a great game at release and while it has aged a bit it's still a great tense horror game and a precursor to the Amnesia Series. Frictional really nailed most things here. Physics based puzzles, decent enemy ai and a gripping in depth story will have you addicted to play more. Worth a play 100%!

Хорроры 2000-2010 это отдельная каста хорроров со своей особой криповостью и атмосферой. Назвать Пенумбру страшной сложно, но, скорее всего. разработчики и не пытались сильно напугать игрока. В игре довольно простая, но затягивающая история, напряженная атмосфера и геймплей, наполненный достаточно несложными загадками для искушенного квестами ума. Звуковая состовляющая такая, какая и должна быть: пытается нагнать жути, мистики и постоянного присутствия ебаки, который может поджидать за углом. Однозначно стоит играть. Игра является классикой и небольшим гештальтом для того, чтобы примкнуть к истинным ценителям жанра хоррор.

Pretty interesting to see where Frictional started. It's definitely a solid game, great story and some awesome puzzles. Having a weapon to fight back was nice and cool that it can interact with the environment sometimes, but I do understand why in Amnesia and later on you can't fight back, because it does takes away from the scary factor, and felt like I didn't even use the distracting items enough because I just boinked them things. Also, they do gives you several options for light and I mainly used the short-range infinite light almost all the time, not utilizing the rest at all. The story was pretty intriguing and the history of the place provides multiple layers to it, and of course exploring it all with our only friend in this forsaken land.

Обожаю игры, в которых ты можешь выполнить задачу разными способами, если ты до чего-то неьдодумался или где-то налажал.

Офигенная игра, в которой угадываются характерные черты студии. Какая жалость, что amnesia:rebirth является лишь жалкой пародией на былое величие.
