The plot just throws the conclusion of the last two games out the window. IMO Black Plague and Requiem were great endings, so I didn't really see the point of this, but I decided to keep going anyway. However, some of the opening lines - from Clarence - were nearly incomprehensible; it was weird, because they were clearly written by somebody who didn't know English, but voice acted by somebody who did, and it was really awkward. Anyway, maybe the gameplay and exploration was good, so I kept playing.

What I found was that, at least in the early parts, there were lots of empty maze-like identical corridors, all very rectangular; you could say this is somewhat true of the original games as well, but it just exuded amateurism. (Part of this is also due to the game opening in the same corridors as Black Plague ended in, which makes sense too.)

Upon finding a note, it was very boringly written and didn't really exude the jigsaw-puzzle-plot sinister atmosphere that made Penumbra interesting. In general I think the creators liked Penumbra, but didn't understand why they liked it so they did not put that much thought into their recreation. Soulless Penumbra automation. I can enjoy very flawed games but when they try and succeed another game, they really have to live up to the levels of quality and this one just didn't. Penumbra isn't just spooky dark corridors, it guides you with some top-notch atmosphere. You really have to meet that.

Also, this has very positive and a machine for pigs has mixed...? Really?
