February 14, 2008 - Good - If you're the type of person who loves to be put on edge, and who has $20 to burn -- did we mention this game is cheap? -- then I can't see any reason why you shouldn't play it.
March 11, 2008 - Good - Penumbra: Black Plague stands out as one of the better adventure games to be released in quite some time.
February 22, 2008 - Good - Black Plague is fun while it lasts and definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first game.
February 13, 2008 - Good - Penumbra is a fun adventure that quickly carves out its own niche in the horror genre. As an indie release, it's exactly the kind of thing we like to see - something writing its own rules, and leaving us excited to see just where its ideas go next.
February 1, 2008 - Good - While much of Black Plague and the Penumbra games in general isn't wholly novel and shrouded in a cloud of low production values, it is most definitely refreshing.
April 3, 2008 - Mediocre - Black Plague is priced right at $20. It's not going to spark an adventure-game revival but it's clearly worth checking out if you like being spooked and don't mind a story that's a bit tough to follow.
