Penumbra Collection

For those of you who really love horror movies and games I would highly recommend this game! why? because this game will almost make you think that you are the person inside the game! Now the reason I say this is because while this game is FPS based, it lets you control the environment in a realistic manner!

Play the demo, buy the game! ITS AWESOME!!! I can't wait for the release!

From the first tech demo to the last chapter this has been an exemplary horror survival game. The graphics and filtering effects are impressive and work in tandem to oppress the player and enhance the Storyline advancement. Forcing the player to rely on concealment rather then combat was a great move which serves to enhance the helplessness your character is enduring when faced with horrific creatures. Instead of flying in guns blazing and knives flailing you are forced to pick your targets carefully or avoid them all togeather. On the horror aspect of the game, it isn't so much blood and guts but more of a claustrophobic oppressive sort of horror that doesn't have to rely on scenes of gore to scare the snot out of you. Dark corridors and a great soundtrack build suspense while the lighting and filters impress the dilapidated and creepy settings.

All in all this has got to be one of the best Horror games available for the PC and in this pack, it'd be silly to pass up the opportunity to own the whole collection.

The atmosphere is so intense, fighting the enemies isn't scary, it is when you cant see them or you are on your own that you are frightened. it is sort of a relief when you are forced to beat a dog to death with a hammer because you know that it isn't going to sneak up on you. the sounds and the lighting is what makes this game so atmospheric and horrific.
