    Hello, thanks for the game, it's good!
    No optimization, but everything is ok! I liked the plot more than 1 part! Thanks from Moscow!

    The first game was unique and the fighting actually felt good, this is just blant repeating and repeating.

    The VA is fine
    Graphics are amazing
    Mission design is bad, even the new COD's are have better mission designs.

    I really liked the first game.
    I wish this one would be more like it.    … Expand

    Game is ok to spend a few evening if you feel like it, but unlike with the first game you will not miss anything if decide to skip this one. Unlike outstanding niche first game this one is targeted for wider audience, but is also more mediocre. Well, you cannot get everything at one apparently...

    The game looks very beautiful, the story is ok, sound design and acting are good but the gameplay is very rigid and boring at times, it's a shame if this game had good gameplay would have been amazing. But it still is an excellent game and I strongly recommend it for players that like a game with a good story and some really impressive visuals.

    Bugs. To developers - seriously, I don't believe that you never encounter a problem when you cannot walk through an invisible wall on the last step on a ladder. Because I somehow had that issue a few times already.
    It is another semi-tested product.

    I must be the only person that didn't really care for this game much. The mechanics are fine if clunky sometimes but the narrative just turned me off horribly. Games like this are critical to the drive of the story and that's where my problems lie.

    A grand tragedy needs to have highs to add impact to the lows. There are no highs here. It's just bad piled on bad piled on bad. Every turn is the worst that could possibly happen and it ends up making it predictable. All you have to do is be pessimistic as possible and you'll know exactly what will happen next.

    It left me feeling like it was written for angsty emo teens that want to cut themselves for attention and think their darkness is so profound. By the end I really didn't care about the characters anymore and just wanted it over with. That's the last thing you want your player to feel in a story driven game. The ending was pure trash but expected after the depressing slog I'd gone through for 15+ hours so it had zero effect on my heart strings.

    I get what they were attempting to do but it would have been far more impactful if they would add some glimmer of hope instead of just phoning it in with dialog saying "just this one more thing and we'll be in the clear" over and over again. You can't make me miss a character you never made me love to begin with.    … Expand

They've somehow managed to expand on everything I disliked about the first game. Roughly 50% of the game is just a walking simulator. Most of the time the "run" button is disabled, to really drag these scenes out. The combat is some of the most awkward I've ever seen in a video game. Enemies will knock Amicia out, then stand there for a moment while she gets up to retaliate. Sometimes Amicia will die in a fire, even though the fire isn't even touching her, which looks very silly. The other gameplay element is the "puzzles", which usually amounts to scrubbing the environment for the one specific thing you're supposed to shoot with your sling. The only parts of the game I found enjoyable are the "stealth" scenes, in which you have to sneak around and figure out how to fight or disable the guards. But these scenes are rare. Most of the time, you're either in Walking Simulator, Obnoxious Forced Combat or Inane Puzzle mode. Everything is so scripted; you can't jump over a ledge or through a window unless it's one of the Special Windows that are scripted for it. There are invisible walls everywhere, so you're never sure where you're allowed to progress until you bump into it. Not that it matters as the game is totally linear anyway. The story makes no sense as a follow up to A Plague Tale Innocence. It seems to just retcon much of what happened in that game, and quickly becomes grating and tedious, with Amicia almost constantly yelling about how she has to save Hugo, etc. The only reason to play this game is for the graphics, which are truly beautiful, except for the face animations. Naturally the game insists on zooming in up close on their faces, so you can see how bad it looks.

    Overall, not recommended. If you're interested in the game, just watch someone else play it on YouTube.    … Expand

    This for me quickly went from endearing to irritating, sometimes less is absolutely more. Some of the puzzles had me a little stumped.

    Essentially as a game, it doesn't offer all that much gameplay and as a movie it tries to get far too much content out of such little plot leaving characters yammering on like a drunk uncle.    … Expand

    The good :
    - graphics
    - story

    The bad :
    - no manual save
    - in some places, keyboard does not work immediately : especially frustrating when Amicia must flee a rats swarms and the shift key does not respond which obviously leads to death.
    - Hugo is tiring.

    A beautiful looking game A Plague Tale Requiem is a definite improvement over the first title, unfortunately only narratively and graphically. The gameplay loop is the same, stealth though linear levels and sometimes use the same old boring sling. Combat would need a complete overhaul to make a better game or should be removed completely.

Есть ли что-то кардинально новое в геймплее? По мелочам - да, но для сиквела этого маловато. Стало ли всё более масштабно и графонисто - Вроде бы да, но это не делает игру лучше первой части, которую я считаю неплохим бюджетненьким The Last of Us для пкшников на 73/100 с неплохой концепцией, гоняющейся за вами стаей крыс, которые бояться огня, но слабенькой сюжетной динамикой. И вот если вы играли в первую часть, и вам очень понравилось, то можете даже дальше не слушать, берите Реквием, вы получите новую порцию "чумной сказки".

    А для всех остальных это станет проходной, высосанной из пальца игрой.. Я ещё на анонсе подумал, что если ничего кардинально в формуле не менять, то на кой она нужна. Окей, что вообще такое - Плагу Тейл?
    Это постоянно пытающаяся вогнать вас в напряжение приключение.. "Амиция, нас заметили стражники", "Амиция, нас окружили крысы", Амиция, опять стражники, опять крысы, опять опасность, опять прячемся.. И, благодаря неплохому саундтреку, работает это неплохо, но если в первой части, это всё происходит в первые разы, Амиция ещё не очень опытная, кое-какая интрига и интерес увидеть стаю крыс ещё присутствует, то вот в сиквеле эти постоянные "Ой, у них оружие - бежим", "Ой, у этих тоже оружие", "Ой, а эти нас тоже могут убить", в совокупности с постоянным нытьём главной героини о том, как всё постоянно плохо.. Ну, от этого так устаёшь, что вы будете дропать игру раз 5, прежде чем полностью пройдёте.
    Крч, основной геймплей тут - это стелс, да, вам доступно много способов убить противника, но..

They literally ran out of time when it came to the end in that first one and had to compartmentalize most of the last thirty percent of the game's plot. Its actually really embarrassing that developers learned nothing about the weakest parts from the first Amecia Del Rune sans Hugo outing they had before. Writing is atrocious, practically baffling or essentially retcons certain portions of the plot from the first game to tie into this one. Literally the worst kind of sequel is the one that has to remove good things in the story from the first part just to attempt to expand the story in its second act.

    As if all that wasn't bad enough, the gameplay is untouched, almost just as banal as before. Amecia is older, yet somehow less attractive than she was just a few months ago if we're going off any sort of consistent time frame here. How long have they been riding on that wagon we saw them on at the end of the first game? The whole opening sequence is just not enthralling in the slightest, its probably the worst re-introduction they could've done for these main characters since the original had this dark tone set right at the beginning. Here its obvious that the plot has layers of McGuffins added even though the storyline had essentially been completed and the ratboy disease had been snuffed out.

    The stealth gameplay is just as shallow as the first time around. The inventory system isn't really much better. The action is absolutely pathetic, the dialogue is unbearable to hear in english, the french accents are gone now, the music is just overly emotional and visually I cannot understand why the performance took such a huge dip just for a few extra flora fauna. Sure, games can sound, look, and be pretty, but what really does this second Plague tale game have to offer us in terms of characters or story? There is just no depth here, its all surface level stuff with no real originality or if it had any at all it was likely left in the first game. Here we have a forced narrative so that we can basically just have the same thing happen again, only this time you don't get to fight the pope with giant rat tornadoes.    … Expand

The first game ingeniously connected story and gameplay. Every combat encounter, every rat/fire-puzzle was meticulously designed and pulled you into the story.

La discrétion est clairement le mode difficile car on se rend compte rapidement que le moyen le plus facile d'avancer c'est de tout simplement casser la gueule de tout le monde. Et c'est très dommage, le jeu essaie au début de nous faire regretter ce genre de décision mais arrête au milieu du jeu et nous donne plus d'outils pour tuer. Sans compter des phases de combat obligatoire. Alors un jeu d'action d'accord, mais pas dans un jeu qui n'est pas prévu pour. Le premier jeu n'a pas instaurer cette ambiance et les mécaniques nécessaires, ce qui fait que le combat est frustrant inutilement, pas satisfaisant et peu impressionnant. Le jeu échoue clairement sur ce point. Cependant tout n'es pas à jeter. les énigmes avec les rats sont très réussi et plus amusantes que dans le premier (on aurait aimé même plus d'énigmes avec les rats). l'histoire est incroyable et l'écriture très bonne. Certains moments sont noyés sous les dialogues malheureusement mais on passe aisément à côté de ce défaut. Enfin, le level design est excellent, le jeu est très joli même si peu optimisé.

Сюжет цікавий, історія розповідається так що вроді все цікаво і зрозуміло. ближче до кінця вже трохи здавалось що сюжет стає затянутим, адже що буде в фіналі, що являється єдиним і правильним рішенням- зрозуміло ще після втечі з першого міста.
    І ЦЕ ДУЖЕ ВЕЛИКЕ "АЛЕ" цієї гри!
    Я з самого початку гри мені не давало спокою 1 питання- якщо Гуго несе за собою стільки розрухи та стражданнь, чому його рідні, розуміючи це- не приймуть правильне рішення- вбити Гуго. Я задавав це питання собі впродовж всієї гри і я розумію що це сім'я і вони хотіли його вилікувати, проте через нього, саме через нього люди вмирають тисячами, і розуміючи, що цей хаос несе саме мій "герой" якось відпадає бажання грати далі.... домучив гру я до фіналу, саме домучив, і в фіналі було саме те, про що я думав всю гру, просто потрібно вбити Гуго...

    Some of you might think this game is all about action, but it's not. There are a lot of puzzle sections in this game. Most of the puzzles are good. I enjoyed solving them. But at some point it gets tiresome.
    The game is way too long for its good. There is a total of 17 chapters. I bet they could wrap it up in 12-13 chapters.
    The plot is way better than the first one. I don't even remember wtf happened in the first game. Sometimes in the plot, you feel like they are just dragging it to make the game long. That's not good. Infect harmed the emotional connection between the player and the story.    … Expand

    Standard level of gameplay, but quickly gets boring.

    Хуже первой части.
    Не знаю, очень спорная игра, вроде не плохая, но у нее очень много мелких и не очень раздражающих моментов, которые накапливаются и приводят в итоге к неприятному послевкусию.
    Геймплей уныл до безобразия, это либо повторяющиеся раз за разом прятки на аренке либо примитивные головоломки. Аренки унылейшие, иногда хочется по фасту пробежать к двери, активация который    Хуже первой части.

    Геймплей уныл до безобразия, это либо повторяющиеся раз за разом прятки на аренке либо примитивные головоломки.

    Аренки унылейшие, иногда хочется по фасту пробежать к двери, активация который завершает аренку, чтобы скипнуть эти скучные прятки, но на арене зачастую разбросаны ресурсы для прокачки, без которых ваша прокачка сильно замедлится и желательно эти ресурсы собрать. Правда она весьма опциональна, желательно замаксить только прокачку арбалета, что дает вам по сути бесконечные стрелы, которые превращают геймплей с врагами-людьми в тир. Что хотя бы интересней унылого стелса.

    Головоломки проще некуда - доберись от точки А к точке Б, дорогу преграждают крысы. На пути повсюду расставлены источники света типа жаровен, крысы бояться света, поджигай эти источники и передвигайся потихоньку, очень интересно(нет).

    Еще не понравилось то, что в якобы полуоткрытом мире настолько жесткие невидимые стены - ты не можешь даже несколько шагов в сторону от них сделать. Заходишь такой в город, на главную площадь, локация большая, там улочка сям, но ты не можешь сойти с невидимой тропинки - путь направо загораживают нпс, путь налево ящики. В одном моменте нам дают немного побегать по большой территории, но исследуя ее вы не найдете почти ничего интересного, лишь одна примитивная загадка с мельницами, разгадав которую вы откроете путь в подземелье с наградой в виде наруча.

    Сюжет это бред сивой кобылы, мне лень все расписывать но это очень плохо. То как прописаны персонажи, их действия, логика их поведения, все исполнено на очень слабом уровне. Хуже всего что все твисты угадываются наперед, настолько он примитивен, шаблонен и предсказуем.

    Финал игры который многих тронул меня лично порадовал - логичный финал, сколько можно было оставлять за собой дорогу усеянную трупами и убеждать себя в том что "это они сами виноваты".

    По итогу мы имеем средний проект, типичную АА игру, которая, ввиду своего ограниченно бюджета, не может предложить чего-то выдающегося. Но ее можно было сделать лучше, уж сюжет можно было нормальный написать, а не эту графоманию оставлять. Ближе к концу игра перестала меня бесить, стало куда приятней играть ( не в последнюю очередь, благодаря бесконечным стрелам в арбалете, позволяющим скипнуть унылый стелс) но все что было раньше не позволяет выставить игре оценку выше, даже на один балл.    … Expand

    Bilgisayardaki optimizasyonu iyi olarak çıkan ender oyunlardan. Linear-düz bir çizgide gitmesi, grafikleri ve seslendirmesi iyi fakat hikaye ilk oyunda olduğu gibi yine beni içine çekemedi. Çok zorlama geldi, karakterler çok antipatik. Oynarken zevk alamadım.

    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.
