Penumbra is a fine adventure game series and Requiem caps things off fairly well. You can find both Black Plague and Requiem cheap online, and if you want a solid , eerie adventure, it's well worth your money. Hopefully we'll see more from Frictional Games in the future.
Videogames
| Gameplay | A resolution to Black Plague; not as scary, but still moody. The puzzles are logical and fairly simple. |
| Presentation | The sounds help balance out the weak graphics and lackluster menus and on screen prompts. Graphically, things look well enough, but they look several years old. |
| Value | Black Plague was an excellent game, and while Requiem is much shorter (it is an expansion after all) and not as good, it's a great purchase at just $9.99 if you download it from GamersGate. You can also get Black Plague for just $12.99, although if you're like me, you'd rather have a boxed/disc copy. |
| Fun Factor | Requiem doesn't provide the same thrills as Black Plague, but there is still some tension there and solving puzzles with relative, logical ease is nice (unlike many other games in the genre that encourage trying everything). |
