Penumbra: Black Plague is frightening, pretty, and challenging. The puzzles are complex and difficult, which makes them all the more fulfilling to complete. Adding to the difficulty of the puzzles are the monsters who in... Read Full Review

A plague worth catching.
Black Plague's younger sibling didn't receive much attention, but it received a fair amount of praise for introducing a gameplay mechanic that might have seemed commonplace for Wii gamers, but was pretty novel for the PC... Read Full Review

Groping to bed after an all-night session will make you wanna turn on all the lights you luckily find along the way.
Yeah, simple and creepy. The physics engine is quite impressive at first and this feeling holds throughout the game as you're being presented with ever more cunning uses of it. Opening drawers by really pulling them out... Read Full Review

The horror reaches its peak in the last installment in the Penumbra series, Black Plague.
After the abrupt ending of Penumbra:Overture, you must have thought that there must be more to it. And you were right! Penumbra:Black Plague starts when you regain your senses, after being knocked out. You find yourself ... Read Full Review

Great little game. Nothing redefining but a very intriguing storyline. Powerful engine makes manipulation a joy.
OK this game is nothing special in the grand scheme of things. Yet, dont let that put you off. Infact it should encourage you to give it a go. I spent a couple of hours every night for the last two weeks enjoying this... Read Full Review

Black Plague is an immersive and often puzzling game. A little short but definately worth playing!
Black Plague continues from where we left off, and does feel and play a little differently from the last game. There is in general a lot more to the puzzle element this time around, and the combat has been removed, whic... Read Full Review

Penumbra: Black Plague is simply one of the best games in years!
First I must say that I have been really bored with games in the last few years... It's just FPS, FPS, FPS, FPS, FPS... Last year's Penumbra: Overture was a really refreshing change from that. But it had it's flaws too, ... Read Full Review
