I stand by what I said earlier. You want survival horror with shitty combat, play Silent Hill. Condemned is the first level played again and again with slightly different textures (but still ugly!). The plot isn't abstract, it's borderline j-horror incoherent. The puzzles resemble the combat in one important regard: they were unable to come up with creative, fun challenges for either, so they went for easy and best dealt with by repeating the same crap again and again. Which would be pure genius in your reckoning, since the game was no doubt intentionally designed to evoke deja vu every ten minutes.
