It is recommended to play strictly at night, using headphones: without this, feelings of hopelessness, fear and loneliness at the station lost in the ice will be incomplete. In about five hours of gameplay, so much horror is concentrated that it would last for two dozen hours.
The game is quite short, but full of impressions. You have to run a lot, solve puzzles, find keys and notes with ciphers. There is no combat system in the game - you can only distract the enemy in order to gain time and hide somewhere. The horror experienced by meeting with the monsters is further aggravated by the fact that they cannot be killed. The first priority is to find the vaccine and save yourself.įirst-person view enhances the feeling of what is happening. It's all about the virus, which turned the rest into walking corpses.
Both are awesome games, well worth more than miserable 2. I already finished overture and Im currently playing black plague. The core gameplay is there, but Amnesia is a way better game. Images and voices begin to drive the hero crazy. Penumbra Overture plays like an Amnesia prototype. Sets one to nine are Overture.Video review Penumbra: Black Plague reviewīut this is not so bad - the hero is haunted by hallucinations that resemble a bad trip. They will be spoilered for ease of use, so just click the set you wish to watch! The videos will be on Youtube now you can watch them in high quality from the off. So with that, let’s get on with the show. Like the sound of that? Check our Professor Sungglesworth's reviews of all 3 games in the series which can be found here: The game's main focus is on exploration and classic adventure game object interaction: examining and collecting objects and using them to solve puzzles. (For example, Philip can close doors behind him to temporarily hold off attacking enemies.) The game is designed to emphasize stealth and avoidance over direct conflict. There are no firearms in the game, so during combat the player is limited to improvised melee fighting with a pickaxe, or throwing objects at attacking creatures. The game also takes advantage of advanced artificial intelligence to respond realistically to noises and light, creating stealth-based gameplay. The use of Newton Game Dynamics emphasizes physics-based puzzles similar to those in Half-Life 2 as well as physics-based combat. The flashlight/torch flickering and buzzing genuinely made me scared at that point.Īlthough Frictional Games describes Penumbra: Overture as a first-person adventure, the game blends the genres of survival horror, first-person shooter, and adventure. It’s very tense and the main character is weak. Penumbra: Overture was suggested by a few people in the Dead Space thread and even from the first part I have recorded, seems dead scary. Horror LP number 5 eh? Not even Kruger could scare me at this point…unless he was a spider. Hello and welcome to this Let’s Play of Penumbra: Overture/Black Plague
