I personally hate exclusive checkpoint saving, because in most games the checkpoints are extremely rare. In Call of Cthulhu or Silent Hill: Homecoming for example it was totally frustrating! I always prefer to have the possibiolity to save at any time. But the best and also most plausible method for the immersion is like it was in Penumbra, where you can save at the artifacts, but while the artifacts never got meant as a saving object in-game, instead the player doesn't really understand the sense of it. The saving was in the background without the palyer noticed that in-game. He only felt that some strange things happen when touching it. The same was in Silent Hill 2 with the red squares, but they were also too rare here.
