Penumbra Collection - Worth It?

[SerenityKill3r]

Hey Guys,

Frictional Games has their Penumbra Collection for Linux on sale for €15/$20.

Has anyone played it? What do you think?

I tried the demo, but it's very short and doesn't give you a good feel for the actual game.

Thanks!

It's a GREAT game, it's worth it!

Have bought and played Penumbra Black Plague. Very good, ran very well and thoroughly scary and unsettling, highly recommend. Good storyline too.

It's definitely worth it. I have those games. It's incredibly impressive and hard to believe that only a few guys made those games, because I think they hold up to pretty much any big-name game.

I have it and I highly recommend.

I played the demo and was impressed with the graphics and engine... But for some reason after a few minutes of play it was over and I felt... uninterested.

I enjoyed BioShock a lot (this felt like that kind of genre of game) however for some reason this failed to grab me.

I'd still recommend it based on the graphics and engine. The storyline was interesting. Maybe if the demo went on a little longer so you can actually get into combat with the dog. I think that might have grabbed my interest a little more.

I actually thought the graphics were the least impressive part of the game lol. To be fair, they had an incredibly small budget and only a few guys made Penumbra so given the givens it's remarkable that the game looks (and plays) as good as it does. And the visuals DO get the job done, even if they are technically unimpressive.

For a native linux game, that runs so well, the graphics are great!
