Although Penumbra: Requiem is without the Survival aspects of Overture and Black Plague, its puzzles provide a challenge worth conquering as you unravel more about Philip and what goes on in his head. However, due to this, the game does tend to feel more like Portal without a Portal Gun than a game from the Penumbra series. While it not may live up to expectations brought to the table by Black Plague, it's a...

First of all, Penumbra: Requiem is a DLC to Black Plague, and I will review this as a DLC. If you played Penumbra: Black Plague, you probably wondered what happened to poor unlucky Phillip. Well, you get an interesting answer in Requiem, which kind of poses more interesting questions than answers. Requiem is all about the puzzles. There are 9 levels (puzzles) and as you solve each one, there are interesting books,...

If you just play Penumbra for the monsters Requiem is not for you. However, if you liked the story of Penumbra this is a great conclusion for the series. Requiem takes a whole new approach to the Penumbra series: no monsters are encountered, so instead of being a horror game with puzzle elements this is now a puzzle game with horror elements. Keep in mind that Requiem is about 4 hours long (Black Plague is about 8...

A fitting conclusion to the Penumbra franchise, or is it? I remember the introduction to the series with Overture. It was interesting and while some of the fighting sequences left much to be desired back than (roughly 10 years ago) it was all refreshing with its physics-based gameplay. Then came Black Plague which was considerably longer and had several scary moments; this was brought to fruition with Amnesia The...

Disapointment. Thats all I got after finishing the 3rd and final chapter in this series. What started off solid in Overture and continued with a bang in Black Plauge just fizzled out here. The spooky atmosphere is really the only thing this has in common with the first two games. No real threat felt. Just puzzle after puzzle after puzzle with nothing. It offered no resolution to what the first two games. Hell...

Seems like Penumbra creators decided to mix unused assets from the game and put them together. The result is a collection of very little maps with some puzzles to solve on each. You travel to one map to another using a ¿magic portal? fueled by ¿magical eggs? you have to pick up. They are way too different from each other: tomb, facility, sewers... some of them don't make any sense at all (marble slide, super mario...

I am a huge fan of Penumbra, but this is different. Please note that this is a puzzle expansion pack. It is a game filled with puzzles, ubt it does not have the same story nd creepiness that the first game does. I wish there was more to it, and it strayed toofar from its original title, but can still be fun. 7/10

If you had a sinking feeling of abandonment after solving the final puzzle in Penumbra Black Plague, this is basically a quick fix to what might actually be a larger problem in your life.. Requiem is a short puzzle-focused DLC that adds a conclusion (sort of anyways..) to the ending of Black Plague. To put it bluntly, this is a rather mediocre DLC that could easily have been way better had the writing been sharper...

Penumbra: Requiem comes bundled with Penumbra: Black Plague and is an expansion for it. However, it appears in Steam under its own entry, so it can also be seen as a stand-alone expansion. The main difference from the rest of the games is that it simply takes all the elements that made them special and tries to be a kind of a portal clone. Story-wise, the game takes place in Phillip's head, you get fragments of his...

Overture and Black Plague albeit their age and other oddities are good games with a good story and definitely worth playing. Requiem is a dlc to Black Plague so one would naturally believe Requiem would be a continuation or at the very least an extension of the previous two. It's not. Others who have traversed this series before me have indeed found out long ago what Requiem is. A crummy disjointed puzzle laden...
