TPCG: Penumbra: Requiem Review

Requiem is difficult to get into mostly due to its own identity crisis. Frictional Games touts this expansion (that requires Black Plague to run) as an immediate continuation, yet the tangential gameplay seems to suggest otherwise. Were Requiem its own horror/puzzle-based game, it wouldn't be burdened by the misconceptions that dog the player throughout the game. This would be an easy game to recommend to anyone who's never really played any of the previous Penumbra games, but since it's an expansion that requires the original, that will be a demographic that's unlikely to exist. 6/10
