As an end to Frictional’s Penumbra series, Requiem leaves something to be desired. While its puzzle and gameplay structure remains entertaining and satisfying, the expansion removes a few major elements of what made the Overture and Black Plague so appealing. That by no means makes it a bad game, but with no coherent narrative drive and the removal of a sense of danger, the game just doesn’t possess the same kind of immersive draw of its predecessors.
