Walk In the Shadows
The Penumbra Collection delivers exactly what it says and looks like: a horror adventure that will leave you wanting more. I bought this game on a whim during a GOG sale and it ended up being the game that I was most engrossed in. The mechanics of the game are great, including excellent lighting/shadows and a physics system that will take some learning. In terms of plot and story, this game rises above most. The story is great, if not slightly predictable, but the manner that it is told and elements are introducted leave you in anticipation more often than not. I found myself knowing what would happen or what needed to be done, but figuring out how and when to perform those actions can be more frustrating and mind bending, sometimes, than just knowing what to do. This game is also refreshing in its emphasis on exploration and stealth. Although you have the opportunity to engage in combat in the first game, it's not easy and the game is definitely made for you to walk lightly through the twists and turns of the arctic setting. Overall an excellent game, well worth 4 stars for story and mechanics of the game, and it is the small little surprises that knock it up to 5 stars.

Amazing trilogy series
This game series is incredible, the only downside is that they never made a sequel. The developer of this series went on to do Amnesia afterwards and it seems they haven't looked back unfortunately. I'd REALLY love another Penumbra game. It had great puzzles, horror, and a fantastic storyline about the main character and everything he goes through. The ONLY bad thing about this game was the combat in the first chapter, although thankfully that can be fixed with a simple .ini file tweak. Either way, if you love horror games this series is an ABSOLUTE MUST BUY.
