The atmosphere in Penumbra: Black Plague constantly keeps you at the edge of your seat, which is mostly due to its eerie sound design. The puzzles seems fresh and logical, and it's the first game to feature physic gameplay that doesn't feel tacked on.
While I highly recommend anyone to atleast try this game out, I must give a heed of warning for the total let-down of the end segment of the game. It seems the developers felt the need for somekind of climax and therefore threw together a Half-Life-esque ending with travelling to another universe.
Also, there's a couple of bugs left in the game before it was distributed, and a few consistent crashes, but which there's hotfixes provided for. But even after that I'll gladly recommend it to anyone due to its standout gameplay and atmosphere.

I would also highly recommend it, although I still haven't played through the whole thing, something about there not being any no cd cracks for the hotfixed version >< (oh, the wonders of piracy)
But there were someone spreading a save file of directly after the area where it consistently crashes :)
Even though, the game is cheap and worth the money.
Ahaha, thanks! Hooray for save files :) Will have to finish it now!
Actually, I have way more than enough money to buy it, I've just gotten into the habit of downloading everything; something I really need to fix :/
