Penumbra: Requiem review

Reviewed March 11, 2009

Lewis Denby says: "After Black Plague so masterfully refined the Penumbra format, it seems like such a waste to throw it all away in favour of a poorly contextualised and badly designed puzzle game. Requiem resolutely fails in every aspect that made its predecessors so remarkable. The game that was never meant to be made should have stayed that way."

JoeTheDestroyer says: "Some trilogies end with a bang. This one ends with tedious puzzles, broken physics and first-person platforming."
