    A Plague Tale: Requiem shows immense growth. It's a sequel that maintains the essence of the game and expands it, bringing a narrative experience that goes to unimaginable places as in the first game, in addition to gameplay that introduces new elements with each chapter.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is everything that one could want from a sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence. It's more ambitious and action-packed than Innocence, and is quite easily one of the best new game releases of the year. The fact that A Plague Tale: Requiem is a day one Xbox Game Pass game adds significant value to Microsoft's subscription service, and anyone with Game Pass should be sure to play it as soon as they can. Those on other platforms shouldn't miss out either, as A Plague Tale: Requiem is easily worth full price. Simply put, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a must-play game.

    If you are on a quest to find a video game that could make you cry, may your quest end right here. A continuation of a story that was fine on its own, Requiem delivers one of the most powerful stories ever conceived in a video game. But be wary of the framerate drops on the PlayStation 5 console, which bring their own set of unforeseen despair.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is one of those sequels that are even better than the original entry. It upgrades everything that was already good on A Plague Tale Innocence and also corrects some of the mistakes from the first game. Although it still has some technical difficulties, it's an amazing experience, with great storytelling and fun gameplay.

    Graphically complex action-adventure with good characters, an atmospheric setting and a strong finale - playful in too many places but pale and despondent.

    Choosing not to reinvent the wheel in regards to its by-the-numbers stealth gameplay, A Plague Tale: Requiem instead goes above and beyond to present greatness in its overall package, delivering an enthralling story, magnetic characters, tense action setpieces, and stunning visuals that rank among the generations’ finest. It won’t bewitch everyone, but for devoted fans of rats and resilience, A Plague Tale: Requiem absolutely delivers.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a sometimes compelling adventure weighed down by poor technical performance, and simple, frustrating and repetitive gameplay.

Of course some people might complain why it’s not 60fps or that the AI could be smarter or why are the loading scenes not shorter. Don’t forget it’s a small development studio and they delivery a brilliant game experience. I got the first (and latest) patch and had no major issues, bugs or frame rate drops.

    This game lives from its story and characters. I love how you never feel alone when playing. The interaction between the characters during gameplay is so great. You can see the development between Amicia and Hugo during the game and this is not done using cutscenes. It’s great that you get to know plenty of other characters and can enjoy their company too.

    The graphics, sound, voices and music are really satisfying and atmospheric and it’s absolutely beautiful to watch, hear and walk through it.

    It’s a fair price for the game and totally worth it. So go and get it. You won’t regret it.

    بازی خوب وقشنگی بود، نسبت به نسخه اول بهترم شده بود.
    گرافیکش واقعا چشم نواز، گیم پلی تقریبا سرگرم کننده و داستان عالی.

    Un’avventura coinvolgente ed emozionante che tiene incollati allo schermo fino alla fine. È un gioco fortemente story driven e pocoUn’avventura coinvolgente ed emozionante che tiene incollati allo schermo fino alla fine. È un gioco fortemente story driven e poco rigiocabile data la sua linearità di fondo e il genere di appartenenza, ma da vivere intensamente e per cui varrà la pena spendere il vostro tempo. Pesca a piene mani dai migliori, ma mantiene una sua identità ben definita, prendendo quanto c’era di buono nel primo capitolo ed elevandolo in quasi ogni aspetto. Comparto artistico di spessore con scenari meravigliosi che trasmettono pace e bellezza in alcuni casi, ma soprattutto che riescono a trasmettere il degrado e il marcio in altri, merito anche di un comparto grafico mozzafiato anche a 30 fps (non pregiudicano in alcun modo la godibilità del titolo). Sono rimasto molto stupito per quanto riguarda la recitazione digitale, regia e in generale la spettacolarità di alcune scene, molto cinematografiche e che non mi sarei mai aspettato di trovare in un titolo come questo. Musiche, sonoro e doppiaggi al top (dispiace un po’ per l’assenza del doppiaggio in italiano).
    Non è un gioco perfetto, ha ancora delle criticità di gameplay: una leggera legnosità a tratti e un’IA nemica non brillantissima che fa sfociare a volte il titolo nel trial and error data la natura stealth, infatti, purtroppo, l’approccio a viso aperto andrebbe rivisto, ma tutto sommato questo non va troppo a rovinare l’avventura nel complesso che spinge sempre ad andare avanti con una narrativa incalzante e mai banale e tante novità e senso di scoperta, sia a livello di meccaniche di gameplay, sia a livello di ritmo (ottimo) e varietà di situazioni.
    In definitiva un’opera consigliata senza remore a chiunque. Delle piccole criticità di gameplay non gli permettono purtroppo di raggiungere l’eccellenza, ma davvero complimenti ad Asobo Studio, che con un piccolo team di sviluppo ha portato avanti uno sforzo produttivo enorme e ci ha regalato questa piccola perla videoludica.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so confused by the reviews, that I decided to write my own. The game is beautiful, yes, mostly because of this idea with rats. Huge waves look cool, no doubt. The landscapes are beautiful also, but I honestly can’t say it’s something unique.
    The story is great as well, might be not my cup of tea, but I get why people like it. Won’t say much here, there is enough written in other reviews
    But what’s with gameplay? I might be missing something, but it just doesn’t seem to work. Whats the point of all this “rpg elements”, skill tree, upgrades if it basically change nothing. The only real purpose of all this hidden chests is just to give you motivation to explore the levels and that’s it. All this upgrades might give you a small advantage but why would you need it? In a nutshell the game is just a linear sequence of puzzles. So if you are already good enough in solving this puzzles, you would get advantage in solving them, so if they are already easy enough they would only get easier. Like what’s the point? I’m not an expert in game design but this approach really seems to be awful. And there is almost always all the necessary resources laying just in place where they are needed so it’s not a big deal to figure out what should you do
    Normally, if you are unable to complete the quest in RPG you just go grind somewhere else and then return when you get enough power/skills/resources. Here all this is pointless because you always have enough resources Apart from that it’s a nice game
