    A Plague Tale: Requiem impressed with the time I was able to spend with her. It's clear that Asobo is working on fixing the biggest flaws in 2019's A Plague Tale: Innocence. This improved the quality of movement and resource management, expanded Amicia and Hugo's skill sets, and expanded the levels to encourage more creative interaction with your surroundings.

    With gorgeous visuals, well-written characters, stunning atmosphere, and an amazing Photo Mode function, A Plague Tale: Requiem surpasses its predecessor. However, the gameplay and puzzles tend to remain fairly easy and straightforward.

    Unlike the first game, this is a pure travel story. Moreover, the new characters, new places we discover, and the Hugo-Amicia relationship that deepens in the middle of all this makes this journey a memorable experience. I was expecting this game to be good, but wasn't expecting this much.

    Requiem is a great sequel that expands on everything its predecessor did. By running away from all the tiresome trends the industry is following, it also manages to deliver a fun adventure with great pacing, topped by incredible visuals.

    Except for the stuttering and crashes endured through the review period, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a very well done game. The story remains as engaging as ever, with a whole cast of compelling characters. The myriad of mechanics keeps things exciting, and the pacing makes you feel like you had the right amount of it at the right times. The overall presentation is stunning to the point where it is already a looker, even before ray tracing comes into the picture. If the stability fixes come in for the title, you're looking at a game that'll easily make a "Best Of" list for 2022.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is much the same as Innocence in terms of gameplay, but its character development and blood-soaked universe make it an absolute pleasure to play.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is a thrilling continuation of Amicia and Hugo’s story, but the gameplay innovations introduced pale in comparison to the huge strides taken when it comes to the game’s narrative and the world Asobo Studios has created.

Lighting, shadows, even the smallest textures — everything feels like the real next-gen. A truly spectacular graphics and art design.

    The game itself has become more mature and brutal with some really horrifying scenes along the way. The gameplay hasn't changed that much, but there are still some sweet additions like crossbow and new alchemy tools. The soundtrack is also pretty good and solid.

    A massive step forward compared to the first game. That's how you make a good sequel.

    Tambien me ponen de los nervios un poco los protagonistas pero menos que en el primer juego. Lo he disfrutado mucho.

    Although Amicia now has a crossbow and some new alchemical tricks, the gameplay in this game has not changed much from the previous one.Although Amicia now has a crossbow and some new alchemical tricks, the gameplay in this game has not changed much from the previous one. However, Gameplay is not the driving force behind this title. The key role is played by the storyline, which, unlike the previous part, keeps a level throughout the gameplay. The story cleverly broke out of its poor position after the end of Plague Tale Innocence and is only getting more interesting with time. On the plus side, there's also a non-obvious ending and a few twists and turns. Although I'm not an enthusiast of an exaggerated amount of fantasy elements, they are well balanced and don't get in the way. Particularly impressive during the gameplay is the great graphics, many times I came across landscapes at which I stopped for a longer moment. The atmosphere of medieval France was also brilliantly portrayed in the game. Returning to the gameplay, many times we come across different types of puzzles, which are not particularly difficult, but are a nice alternative to stealth or combat. Combat hasn't improved much from the previous game, and unfortunately there's definitely more of it, slingshot shooting at multiple armed enemies is not only absurdly unrealistic but also not very fun, and the newly added crossbow is not only too op, but shooting it doesn't provide any satisfaction. Sneaking, on the other hand, could sometimes be annoyingly difficult for me when it could come to situations where we had a window of a few seconds to evade enemies, and a minimal mistake ended up in detection. More than once I ran between enemies reaching the next checkpoint or getting killed and being reborn at the very end of the sequence. In conclusion, A Plague Tale Requiem is not a perfect title especially when it comes to gameplay, but it defends itself with a great story and is certainly a step up from its predecessor. Expand
