I think I might have actually enjoyed this the most out of the Penumbra Trilogy. First, the divided areas are thematically distinct and different and that's nice (the prior two games were gated anyway at differnt inteverals) because it transaltes into less back and forth wandering for anything you miss. I also liked most of the puzzles themselves, and this feels more like a modern puzzle solving FPS at times.. Unfortuantely the game has several totally aribtrary stupid puzzles, and many solutions to them i'd never probably figure out.

In the end none of these games are really that great and they've allaged badly. But fans of Amnesia/Frictional Games might stil enjoy visiting them since they are all short and use the same engine.
