    If you were a fan of Innocence then you are going to adore A Plague Tale: Requiem. It’s a familiar experience but one in which the mechanics, visuals, sound, and story have all been ramped up. Lasting around thirteen hours, A Plague Tale: Requiem manages to eclipse the first game; pretty much every minute is heavenly.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is one of the must play games of 2022 on the Xbox Series X and if you enjoyed the original or looking for something different yet totally enjoyable, this next-gen experience from Asobo Studio will keep you invested from start to finish. Highly Recommended!

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is what we hoped for: a reconfirmation. Asobo has built a sequel in an almost artisanal way that knows perfectly where he has to bet his chips, where he has to stop and where there was no need to put his hand. The end result is once again a surprise, but for different reasons. A Plague Tale: Requiem has what it takes to make it better than its predecessor. It is true, I may have shown a certain mild disappointment on the graphic aspect but, given the starting point, signaling a slight improvement, even though it may be below expectations, still places the game as excellent example. Also because, A Plague Tale (the series) is not that, it never was. It has always been a memory to go through, it has always been the story of Amicia and Hugo. A story that, I bet, will remain in your memory. In the memory of the video game.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a sure candidate for GOTY because of how great it is. It's hard not to get hooked on its story or fall in love with its artistic direction, it makes us empathize with the characters and their experiences. Every player should give it a chance, even the first game.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem develops the strengths of the first chapter to the full, to create a cinematically cut, emotionally charged adventure with satisfying stealth mechanics, action, puzzles, memorable characters, heart-pounding sequences and lots and lots of rats.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a mighty fine follow up to Innocence, and will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Sure, there’s the odd interesting design choice littered throughout and the game has the odd technical issue, but other than that, Requiem is a great way to spend a weekend.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem has seemed to me an exercise as remarkable visually as irregular mechanically and narratively. A competent videogame that will please those who enjoyed the first one, but that repeats, and I would even say that it intensifies, some of the mistakes that were pointed out to the original.

    si jugaron el primero este es una evolución de todo lo visto en el primero y un juego obligado para saber el desenlace de la historia.    … Expand

    Game well achieved graphically, with good music, emotional story, good gameplay.
    However, I consider that the level of difficulty could be a    Game well achieved graphically, with good music, emotional story, good gameplay.
    However, I consider that the level of difficulty could be a little low, for example, there are levels where it would have been ideal to play them against the clock and there are puzzles that are very easy to solve.
    The other thing, the story could have been made a little more open, perhaps influenced by some of the player's decisions, thus leading to several possible endings to the story.
    Congratulations to the folks at Asobo on this game, money well spent.    … Expand

    Great game, fantastic visuals, realistic dynamics and an interesting story so far, but can we PLEASE get on with the story? Too manyGreat game, fantastic visuals, realistic dynamics and an interesting story so far, but can we PLEASE get on with the story? Too many protracted cut-scenes. I want to explore the game, not sit watching helplessly whilst a fife and drum act play an irritating tune on stage.

    You can skip some scenes and I appreciate that others are necessary for the narrative and story arc, but I find this kind of unskippable cut-scene pointless and tiresome.

    I'll stick with it, though, because the first game was immersive and brilliantly done.    … Expand
