The last weeks have had so many reviews, so the following is a selection of reviews and only those in English.

NYTimes.com

“…Penumbra: Black Plague are the sort of games that make me to want to play games 24 hours a day. I just have to ignore my hunger, exhaustion and achiness.”

GameSpot.com

“Now, the series comes to a close with Penumbra: Black Plague, a superb sequel that continues with the creeps and common-sense conundrums.”

Destructoid.com

“It alternately shocks and entertains without resorting to the boring, repetitive combat we usually associate with survival horror.”

Bit-Tech.net

“In fact, the panic effect brings an excellent conflict to the game and makes the game truly terrifying to play. It’s one thing to play a stealth game where you watch the enemy blunder past you as you slip behind cover. It’s another experience altogether to have to look away and just listen to enemy footsteps. You never know how close death is and, like Philip, you’ll be on the edge of your seat.”
