Not scared of Amnesia anymore, and it's ruined the game for me

Despite these minor differences, they're ultimately the same. Get to the end of the level over what obstacles where set for you, using what the game gives you.

I thought those differences make games ultimately different

Besides theme and how you do the puzzles, they're pretty much the same. Sure they're not exactly the same, but they're similar.

Thats what I'm trying to say.

I'm not saying requiem = portal, I'm trying to say requiem ~ portal....

of COURSE they're similar, they're from the same genre!

every horror game is similar somehow, and every FPS game is similar, and...

Penumbra requiem might be similar to portal, but the other penumbras diffidently are not.

Portal/requiem is more like you're in a giant room, figure out how to get to the end.

The other penumbras are more like resident evil/silent hill (at least the old ones), at least in my opinion. You're in a huge area made of multiple rooms in which there are more of their own small puzzles in it, in which you solve a series of puzzles to get to the next area. And its more tied to stealth/horror and a small amount of combat that adds a whole new spin on the game.

p.s. portal isn't a horror game.
