Svensk skräck har inte blivit några jättesuccéer utomlands (fastän Evil Ed är lysande) men kanske blir det ändring på det med #Penumbra: Overture. När Eurogamer förglodde titeln såg de stora möjligheter, men det har ett par skarpa kanter som måste slipas bort.

Penumbra Overture is looking to be a very smart game. Whether it's a great one, especially if the awful combat stays in its current state, is to be seen. The four man team that makes up Frictional Games have remarkably hand-built a 3D engine that looks contemporary, effectively integrated Newton Game Dynamics physics, and then stripped out anything that might imply the term "first-person shooter". It's a first-person adventure. And no, dear God no, we don't mean like Myst.
