Penumbra: Overture [FULL GAME SOUNDTRACK]

[@ytanonymity3585]

One of the most underrated indie horror ever made

[@harrysanders818]

On the other hand, all their follow titles where extremely overrated (Amnesia, Soma), so the Universe balanced it out I guess... :P I love this one as well. It was truly unique in its time and a trend setter, not entirely for the good to the horror genre however. It introduced the fashion of defenselesness, which nowadays is the standard implemented game mehcanic in most indie horror titles. Sadly. The ost is a true gem however. It does a LOT for the fantastic feel of the game and its cleverl level designs, which made a whole lot out of small spaces.

[@Tommixist]

@@harrysanders818 I wouldn't say they were overrated. They are regarded as 8/10 horror games with great atmosphere. They are undoubtedly one of the best horror games out there.

[@Zovereign]

@@harrysanders818 Do you really think Soma is overrated?

[@harrysanders818]

@@Zovereign Yes, I do. I was looking forward to it so much, when it came out, being a huge fan of the Penumbra Series. Amnesia already could not hook me that much anymore compared to Penumbra. It had also gotton too much "run away from monster"-ry- already. But Soma was a pure disappointment for me in terms of Gameplay. While the story and the intial sequences where incredibly well done, the game takes defenselessness to an absurd level where I no longer can like the game. Penumbra 1+2 felt more to me like adventures. Like exploring the world was actually really enjoyable. I deeply love and live horror games, but I hope that devs will get creative again and make them gamey again, instead of relying entirely on "run away and hide in the closet" mechanics. It offers nothing for me personally in the long run. I am not against exploration games or "walking simulators" (this term is bs) as well. I really loved Dear Esther. I enjoyed exploring the world and learn about the deep story, while no monster catches me to be instant game over or unable to move after I was hit once, which is exactly what happened to me in Soma. The Gameplay part got annyoing to a point where I just skipped on the rest of the game, no matter how ingenious the story might be. I find it insulting. I wanted to like the game, really. But it was impossible for me. To get back to your question: Yes, I think Soma lives entirely by the hype and the fame of the previous titles of the creators, luckily so, because I always loved Frictional Games. It's nice for them, but I am not on board with this kind of games anymore. I nevertheless still respect them for getting philosophical topics into their games. This is somehting they deserve kudos for and is still unique and great, something original, clever and outside of the main stream. So I am glad that this game got the recognition it got. Still, from the standpoint of it being a game and it's game design, it's highly overrated imo.

[@harrysanders818]

@@Tommixist That's exactly what it means when someone thinks something is overated :) I find them overrated, exactly because! they are regarded as such top notch horror games. I don't give anything about scores like 8/10 personally or popular oppinions. Many players like what the media tells them is good, that jus how it works. and they will reach out and defend games because of their average score. What the "best horror games out there" are is an entirely subjective matter. And if you let media scores and reviewers dictate that to you, you are losing your healthy scepticism and individual judgement. So yea, I, me, personally, I think the game is overrated. I'm not the only one by the way.

gunner6084 they could make you think of Phineas and Ferb. Just because of how well the two made the game this good.

[@N0el5]

The first one reminded me of an opening for some old British crime/detective series from the 80s. It made me feel nostalgic.

[@mellowandjello]

It definitely has that vibe. If you're into older British detective shows, have you ever heard of A Touch of Frost? It's pretty gritty and has its intense moments.

[@N0el5]

No I haven't. Thanks I'll give it a look

[@Braka54]

Isnt the game itself nostalgic?
