But don’t let that put you off although there is a dash of stealth gameplay, this is for the most part very much in the tradition of the adventure genre, even more than its predecessor.Īlthough I had not played Penumbra: Overture, I had no trouble jumping into the story halfway through a quick slideshow at the beginning sums up the situation succinctly. It’s a rather unconventional game a horror-themed adventure that looks and controls almost exactly like a first person shooter. Like a quick blast of Arctic air, Penumbra: Black Plague is both chilling and refreshing.
