    How this game deserves a GOTY nomination is beyond me. Have the features of mediocrity all over the place.

    First game (Innosence) was very interesting story and gameplay. But this one... Grinding and grinding... Like Mario times...

    - rats have a whole range of different speeds and wills depending on how the cinematic wants. super incoherent and too unrealistic to be able to not notice
    - their whining gets annoying, really ducking fast. the kid is such a spoiled brat
    - story is quite unrealistic in many moments just for the sake of nudging you where it wants you
    - way to deal with enemies is too rigid
    - wayyy too easy. game holds your hand all ducking time.
    - no ray tracing
    - graphical optimization is trash    … Expand

    The most lazy game and most contrived script of the year. There is nothing new or interesting here. The main characters are gods during gameplay and useless in cutscenes and the plot is basically the same as before. And is filled with cliches of course. If you have standards avoid this ****.

    very poorly optimized game how this got released in this state i don't know, what i do know is this game is only for those with a 4090, without Frame generation you don't have a chance to run this game smoothly,  even with my 3080ti i my gpu struggles to hold 60fps constantly dropping frames, those with older GPU have no chance. I will never buy from this developer ever again.

    Итак. Для того чтобы узнать чем же закончилась игра Plague Tale Innocence, и что же ждёт героев дальше, была приобретена ПК версия Рэквиема. И о боже, какой же ошибкой это было...
    А теперь по порядку. Полное отсутствие оптимизации как таковой. Вечно залипающие текстурки героев. Непомерно огромные хитбоксы стен в которые врезается моделька персонажа. Просадки ниже 20 FPS. Худшего дер**а в    Итак. Для того чтобы узнать чем же закончилась игра Plague Tale Innocence, и что же ждёт героев дальше, была приобретена ПК версия Рэквиема. И о боже, какой же ошибкой это было...
    А теперь по порядку. Полное отсутствие оптимизации как таковой. Вечно залипающие текстурки героев. Непомерно огромные хитбоксы стен в которые врезается моделька персонажа. Просадки ниже 20 FPS. Худшего дер**а в своей жизни ни разу на компьютер не ставил. То что данная игра это тотальная недоработка и кошмар, это еще слабо сказанно.
    Если разработчики так сильно хотят денег за эту игру, то единственное желание это дать их игре место на торрентах, дабы они не заработали ни копейки и наконец-то поняли, что быть заднеприводным уродом это не значит что все покупающие вашу игру такие же.
    Звук который заикается и глючит каждый раз когда на экране появляются хвалёные толпы крыс. А иногда звук глючит и просто так. Качество текстур оставляет желать лучшего. Отсутствие FSR (хотя бы версию 1.0 дали бы, но нет). Даже на высоком уровне графики текстуры превращаются в мыло.
    Стелс миссии. Ммм, просто блаженство. Ты можешь бежать через всю локацию с Гуго и никто тебя не убьёт, особенно если проигрывается анимация открывания дверей.
    Растягивание сюжета, сотнями разговоров и медленной ходьбы, надоедают уже через 15-20 минут.
    Вначале игры говорится о том что надо бежать, Гуго плохо и его надо лечить, но нет "А пройдёмся ка мы по полю и пособираем перья, а?"
    Отвратительное построение сюжетной линии лишь усугубляет и без того шаткое положение игры, из-за отвратительной графики и отсутствия оптимизации.

    В заключении хочу сказать лишь одно. Когда критикам заносят чемодан с деньгами и они пишут хорошие отзывы, это не гарантирует что игра классная.    … Expand

    The game is boring, very overrated, what I can't understand it's how people gives a 10 to this game when you can't play 60 fps even in 1440p, this people is the same that gave a 0 to games like cyberpunk or elden ring based on the performance

    That little kid that you have to escort around 100 % of the time is annoying. And you can't kill him or throw him to the wolves. Who the hell wants to play a never ending escort mission???

    I really don't recommend spending money on this optimization **** The story is the same as in the first part. Most of the videos in the game are long and boring. The story is hard to predict and perhaps only children can appreciate it. The game does not run at 60 FPS even on PS5, and even on a powerful PC it cannot maintain this value.

    No ray tracing available!

    Game was advertised with ray tracing, but this is NOT available at launch, even weeks later nothing has happened. The developer doesn't say anything about it! That's a disappointment at best, misleading advertising at worst.

    Spending money on next gen hardware? Do you like 30 frames per second so this can run on the series S that will hold gaming back for another 10 years thanks to Microsoft's terrible decision process of making a cheap version of its console with obsolete hardware?
    If you do then this game is for you. Enjoy the scraps!!!

    O jogo continua uma mesmice, você passa o jogo inteiro correndo, se escondendo, fugindo de rato e de vez em quando jogando pedras, o jogo tem um exagero de cutscenes e só fica interessante no final, porém quando chega no final e jogo volta a ficar chato, ele vale no máximo 100 reais, e o pior de tudo é que não é audio em PT-BR

    A Plague Tale: Requiem doesn't respect your time, and is a waste of your time

    I've played and finished A Plague Tale: Innocence about 2 years ago and loved it, though it was a bit basic in the combat area.

    I've heard that A Plague Tale: Requiem was much better, that the combat was better, that it improved a lot of things from Innocence, but oh boy, that is just not true.

    I've never hated, and quiet LITERALLY got a headache from a character, more than I hate Hugo, he will not shut his mouth, and will repeat the same stupid lines whenever we jump over an obstacle or climb a ladder.

    The game will force you to walk, for HOURS, in areas where you can and should be able to run.

    The combat is either 100% stealth, or run away from enemies like a headless chicken, no middle ground. Once you're found, and stealth is out of the way, it's really, really bad.

    Story goes on and on and on, barely anything worth your while.

    You barely know where to look for the hidden stuff, and you might as well just go through that crack on the wall or jump down a small ledge, only to not being able to go back and pick up the items you were looking for. No way back.

    Again, the charactors, and not only Hugo, are babbling and talking so damn much, so many stupid sentences repeated over and over.

    Starting 10 hours are somewhat fun and refreshing, to get new abilites, to uncover some of the story, but the rest 10-12 hours or so are straight up bad, boring, and felt like a drag.

    I can't recommend this game to almost anyone, unless you really love visual novels or love walking simulators, because that while there is a lot of combat and stealth in this game, you will be walking and talking to the boring NPCs for most of the game.

    Can't recommend this, absolutely can't.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first one was way better. The second one has some really great views but...
    That Hugo is such a brat. So many deaths because of this little idiot. Ruined so many places, cities, lives. He is a kind of character you root against and not for.
    And the main plot, well. It is debatable to say the least. Like it's ok to kill thousands of people just to keep one little rascal alive. And then kill him too. Right.

    Also secondary characters are:
    Lucas = boy = let's dump him ASAP for the most of the game.
    alchemist = man = incompetent, makes things worse, DEAD
    man on the boat = well, man = DEAD ASAP
    some loco with the shield = man = savage beast "you order / I obey", imprisoned / DEAD
    Count = man = turned out to be some crazy lunatic / DEAD
    Sophia = woman = bright, strong, spiritual, independent, wise, good hearted and compassionate, helpful and ALIVE.

    Damn, it is sooo hard to be a male character these days. Every time I see a male character it's either a villain or an incarnation of Sean Bean.

    There were some great moments tho. Ones when it felt like Amicia is in a real struggle and that mental breakdown is looming over her. Really good. And visuals, as I've mentioned before, are really great with occasional Uncharted vibes too.
    After all -- this is a good game, not as good as the first one though. But these modern trends, damn.
    It ruins everything.    … Expand

    Никчемная оптимизация, душный геймплей, скучный сюжет. Играть становится более-менее интересно только последние полтора часа сюжета. Остальное время - это нудная ходьба с тупыми диалогами и кривым стелсом. Первая часть мне зашла. Вторая - просто проходной мусор. С таким успехом лучше бы я 20 часов играл в пасьянс-косынку, чем в это. И то интереса было бы больше.Никчемная оптимизация, душный геймплей, скучный сюжет.

    Great follow-up. It's another story about the tragic fate of two siblings. It doesn't bring anything groundbreakingly new, but it improves on what worked and surprised in the first volume, and because of that, it still entertains. [Issue#323]

    Requiem is trying its best to make everything even more beautiful, impressive and varied, yet it is still just a decent sequel to a good game. The overall impression is let down by the muddled third act, rudimentary stealth mechanics and forced combat sequences.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a pitch-black sequel that makes sure to remind you of that suffocating feeling at every chance, with scenes of hopelessness, the stench of putrefaction and a deluge of filthy rodents. It's not pleasant, but is should be lauded nonetheless.
