Any sewer level. Seriously, name one that didn't suck.
The Penumbra Black Plague was pretty good, it fit the mood, it was only in the game briefly and it was a large point for the games story. Although I must agree, I was thinking of a bunch of sewer levels and most of them sucked.
I can't really recall too far back about a bad level in game so i will just recall the games I have been played recently.
Penumbra Overture: One level, one particular sodding level annoyed me so much. There is a part when you have to blow up the side of the cave to escape another cave, this fine except how you have to do it is absolutely "Pants on head retarded" A level or more prior to blowing up the cave you have to pick up a certain note that is hidden somewhere, I didn't pick it up which forced me to restart the entire game so I could go and get it. The note was about chemicals and one specific one called Baxitrin which is highly explosive, later in the game you find some baxtrin and then later some more you find a barrel of gun powder. What get's me is that you have to break the barrel of DANGEROUS gun powder and let it hit the ground, find some string from some shelves, roll the string in the Baxitrin then roll the new Baxitrin covered string in the gun powder, carry the string which is now a fuse down a dark and scary cave, past a dog which will 3 hit kill you, over to a barrel of gasoline, move the gasoline barrel into a specific part of the mine and then put the fuse in the barrel and light the fuse on fire with a lighter... If you miss almost anything of what I just told you, you will have to load a save and do the shit all over again. Also you need the aforementioned note to now how to use the Baxitrin, because your character, who is a Physicist and a University teacher I might add can't read a bottle of chemical to see if it was explosive!
