A Plague Tale: Requiem

What depressed the players in the earlier game is much amplified here. The sadness and desperation are well presented through the intense and excellent performance of voice actors. Main characters are a main key to this game's crucial core and uniqueness.

The environment and atmosphere are a visible upgrade thanks to the more interactive world and beautiful graphics. However, there is little change in the gameplay and the puzzles could have been more intriguing. There are too many tools which simplify the challenges thanks to the diversity of various items. The ways of solving them should be more inventive rather than being solvable in 5 different ways. This is of course just a personal preference.

As for the story it is rich in creating creepy energy in almost every chapter. The game seems to have no mercy in punishing every character's decision, it is also why playing this game was so depressing. There are still heartfelt moments but all of it is usually crushed with continuous tormenting emotional torture both for the player and the protagonist.

All in all, it was one hell of a game that constantly kept me in an emotional rollercoaster.

A Plague Tale: Requiem is more than a game. It's an art. Almost everything in the game is perfect. The story in particular is very emotional and the ending is the most impressive and saddest ending in game history. It has an ending that leaves the player depressed and crying like a baby. The bond between Amica and Hugo is reflected very strongly. It was pretty emotional in the first game, but Requiem set the bar even higher. The main character Amicia, was very well written and a very enjoyable character to play. The gameplay is more advanced than the first game, A Plague Tale: Innocence, and contains a lot of innovations. New weapons, such as knive and crossbow. There are more action scenes and the alchemy menu is more understandable and useful. The music of the game is as good as the first game, or even better. Olivier Deriviere has done a great job again. Also, Amicia and Hugo's voiceovers were amazing. In particular, Amicia's voice-over officially lived the story, and when she cried, I cried, too, when she suffered, I suffered, she conveyed that emotion to the player very well. It was very unfair that Charlotte Mcburney didn't win the best performance award at the 2022 game awards. If you like story games, do yourself a favor and play this great game.

I can't recommend this game enough. The graphics were perfect; I have an RTX 3080, and I was able to run the game on the max settings in 4k. Sometimes the frame rate would drop to 50fps, but I was getting a consistent 57+ fps. The story really sold me on the game. I don't usually like stealth/puzzle games, but with such a good story, this might be my favorite game of all time. The few complaints I've seen about the game mostly pertain to lower end graphics cards not being able to run the game at 60fps. The menu has a lot of options for graphics quality, so you can prioritize fps vs resolution if need be. 11/10!

This is the game that made me love again video games after 10 years without playing. The story is incredible and the writers understand exactly what is family and the sacrifices that comes with it. I don't know if the tv show will be as good as the game because it would only replicate this tale with probably different actors and couldn't match the game visually. Charlotte McBurney and Logan Hannan did a fantastic job playing Amicia and Hugo and because of them, you really feel their characters live and be real humans with their strengths and weaknesses. They are not perfect. And because of all that, This a masterpiece. Sad but so beautiful and strong. This is art. Ty Asobo Studio.

This one is so much better than the previous game, the story is more interesting and their are a lot of new mechanics in the game like the crossbow and the new kind of alchemical slings. The game is so beautiful , I didn't except it from a plague game. There are many many rats more than in the previous. This game is more emotional, and their are so much deads. When I played it feel like this is not a game this is real bc of the dialogues and the atmosphere. The game is a little bit challenging but if you're played stealth games before its not a problem. I glad I have got game pass and I glad I could play this game.
