RE: Horror vs. Puzzles

The difference in puzzles, was that in Penumbra series, you would also have to interact with physics, in order to complete puzzles. In Amnesia, instead, the puzzles have pre-estabilished object that go in your inventary, if you know what i mean.
I remember a part of Overture in the Excavation place, where you had to attach a piece of broken ladder to the hole in the ceiling, put boxes under it and putting another one on them by using a raised part of the place (you can't pick up heavy boxes yourself) to succesfully jump and grip to the ladder. Or another place where there was a big excavation machine and you had to manually insert the control panel's plug in the generator, put the key, turn it, pick a gas can and break the tanker of the machine open, put the gas, and finally use the big yellow monster machine. In Amnesia it would all mean using some objects in the inventary and you would be fine.
In a few words, Amnesia puzzles are too easy.
I think Penumbra was balanced enough with Horror/Puzzles. Amnesia is more concentrated on Horror, and the few puzzles aren't very good.
