Hi:


Will PC Gamer Magazine do a review for Penumbra: Overture?

As far as I know the US, UK and Swedish version of Pc Gamer will review the game. Unless they decide they do not have the space offcourse.


RE: PC Gamer review? - Sciere - 04-01-2007

In the Benelux the game was reviewed by PC Gameplay and received a 84% mark.

Awesome? Would it be possible to get a summary of what they liked and disliked?


RE: PC Gamer review? - Sciere - 04-01-2007

Sure, it was a 85% mark by the way, and PC Gameplay covers Belgium and The Netherlands.

They liked the constant suspense (smart enemies, no in-game map, stealth), logical and fun puzzles and brilliant use of physics - calling it one of the most original games of this moment.

They found the level design, with similar sections after each other somewhat repetitive, though.

Translated bottom line: Penumbra is an unforgettable rollercoaster ride you should not miss out on. Warning: not for heart patients!

It's in the latest issue of the magazine, issue 174 I think.
