Brilliant horror game....

User Rating: 10 | Penumbra: Black Plague PC
By Arc732 | Review Date:
The fact that the self defence mechanism was removed made the game even more intense, knowing that you cannot defend your self from what lies below.

So, why do I like this horror game so much, counting in a minor million of other horror games out there?

#1 The intense atmosphere.

#2 The opponents, well not their design, but the way they appear...you walk through a corridor and suddenly the door to your right breaks, and in the next second you try to pull yourself together and run away....

#3 The fact that Paradox proved that you don't need to be a worldwide known team in order to make a brilliant game as this, the amount of effort invested in order to make those puzzles, to create that atmosphere, it's amazing...

They created a game that beats other so called "horror" games that had a media campaign a year before being released....
