What the Heck's wrong with Requiem?

[spukrian]

But why did they do it? Was what the motivation? You don't just make a game for no reason, especially not when you're as small as Frictional Games are.
It didn't add much to the Penumbra universe, didn't follow up the plot, didn't give us any clues, wasn't awfully entertaining and didn't do anything new. I don't understand why it's called Penumbra (other than to make Penumbra O/BP fans buy it) and I don't understand why they did it.

They made it to experiment with the engine and to make puzzles more focused on physics-based interaction. And it is labeled as a game expansion instead of a full game.

Well, on the plot and such stuff I agree, but on your other points I disagree, I find Requiem on the whole to be entertaining, and it did have new stuff, that weren´t in the earlier games.
