Horror vs. Puzzles

Hello my friends.

As we know, the games by FG are unique in this universe!
I wanted to ask you, why you love their games.

I love it, because there is no action clichee with bizarre monsters, bloody zombies and full of explosive weapons. The mainly content of their games are the story and the gameplay without or with less and weak weapons. Weapons that are more for smash objects instead for fighting.
I love games with puzzles, the game must be an adventure for the player. You have to be alone and helpless in the darkness with creepy atmosphere. That is, why their games are good. No action and less fighting! More puzzles, ideas and draft.

But what is the season, why you love their games?
Horror and Puzzles are both very important things for a good game. But what do you prefer?

If I set a standard for Penumbra...

Horror: 50%
Puzzles: 50%

Creepy game with also many puzzles. Makes together a game with 100%.

Amnesia had a little difference:

Horror: 80%
Puzzles: 20%

A really good game, but it was too empty. You can not explore the location and search for hidden things like in Penumbra. Some puzzles in the cistern are good, but the game have too less and to easy puzzles. There is nothing you can find out. All the locations are very empty, there are only useless objects. You can barely interact with objects to solve physics.

The little information we know about their next game is, that it will be a game without horror comes first. So, what comes first then?
I hope, the puzzles will be more thoughtful and tricky in their next game.

I wanted to prefer a standard like Penumbra, but the puzzles could still have over 50% of the game. I prefer a game full of puzzles. Hidden puzzles in all things and you should solve them using physics and realistic ideas.

What do you prefer?
And what do you think about more outdoor locations or about a third person adventure game?
With horror, of course. But where puzzles and ideas comes first.
