    Without the awkward combat of Overture, Black Plague is a smoother experience where the clumsiness of the physics and control systems are exposed far less frequently.

    Short but entertaining, Penumbra: Black Plague is enjoyable, a bit challenging at times, but worth the journey.

    The gameplay saw some nice improvements from the previous title and they only added to the fear factor.
