    Le daría un 10 si no fuera por la rabia que me da no poder matar practicamente a nadie hasta el final del juego. Como te hacen odiar a los enemigos xDD

    Tambien me ponen de los nervios un poco los protagonistas pero menos que en el primer juego. Lo he disfrutado mucho.

    One of the most emotional games I have ever played. The acting by Amicia's VA was simply incredible. She should definitely receive an award for that. The graphics were pretty great.

Simply a breathtaking experience, by far the best I've played this year, bringing aspects that from afar don't seem to match, but that when played are incredible together, beautiful setting that takes place in France in Provence in the 14th century, spectacular graphics, and a very good processing optimization if you take into account the number of mice that appear on the screen at the same time, the story leaves me speechless, it is intriguing from beginning to end that, by the way, leaves us with the doubt of a continuation, in fact it deserves compete for game of the year.… Expand

    The game is almost a masterpiece.
    It has really learned a lot from its predecessor.
    At first I was afraid that it would be very similar to the first part and therefore not really varied, but that was definitely not the case.
    Many new mechanics were added, even Hide & Seek, which really lightened up the game.

    Pros:
    - No bugs
    - Many new mechanics
    - Very compelling story
    - Beautiful graphics
    - Working atmosphere
    - World had several "WOW" moments

    Cons:
    - Subtitles had spelling mistakes from time to time
    - Gameplay almost too easy    … Expand

    Abstract: The best way I can describe this game is just one word: solid. Everything about this game is rock-solid, from the story to the graphics, it all balances out to make a very good game. There's no glaring flaws with this game, no massive problems with gameplay, graphics, or story that ruin the whole experience. Everything is polished and Requiem is definitely a game that I would recommend to others, and it is 100% worth the price tag. The story is moving, it looks beautiful, and it's a good step forward from Innocence. It takes about 15-20 hours to beat, and 25-30 hours to 100%.

    In Depth Review (SPOILERS):
    --The Good:--

    Graphics:
    Where do I even begin... this game is simply beautiful. Every second of this game is amazing and beautiful, looking better than most triple a games today. The developers obviously went all out on this one, putting their heart and soul into every single model, texture, and set piece in this game.

    Sounds & Music:
    In my honest opinion, the soundtracks for these games don't get the love that they deserve. The beautiful choral and orchestral scores always manage to blow me away whenever they kick in. Just have such a weight to them and a feeling of deep sadness. Sound queues also play a very important role in this game, giving tells as to whether an enemy is looking at you or coming your way. The perfect beautiful soundtrack and sound design to match the beautiful set design.

    The Characters:
    The most important part of this game that had to work for the whole game to work, is the relationship between Hugo and the player. This game knocks it out of the park. There's literally so many adorable Hugo moments that will melt the coldest of hearts, and leave them hollow by the time the credits roll. On top of Hugo, every side character in this game is very likable, and by the end of the game you genuinely care about all of them.

    The VA's
    No elaboration needed, they all killed it.

    --The Mid:--

    Story:
    Honestly the story felt like a wild goose chase. There's nothing objectively wrong with that, I just couldn't justify putting it in either the good or the bad category, so I think it belongs in the middle. It does a very good job getting the message across that it wants to, and it certainly is a step up from the confusing story of Innocence. However, this story mostly suffers from a confused third act that has waaaay too much going on, but the ending makes up for it. It's like a punch to the gut, then when you've just finished crying the final level happens and it just gets even worse.

    Gameplay:
    Many parts of this game are walking sims. It works if you enjoy listening to characters interact or admiring the scenery but it can get boring fast, especially if you are replaying. As mentioned in the difficulty section, it can be very broken but generally takes base elements from innocence and expands on them. Sometimes for better, and other times for worse.

    --The Ugly:--

    Difficulty:
    I've beat this game twice, first on Narrative difficulty (easy), and the second time on NG+ difficulty (hardest), and at best this game is ridiculously easy on both. I'm not a hardcore gamer and I really loved that narrative difficulty provided some challenge while mostly allowing me to appreciate the game for what it is, but NG+ felt like I was playing narrative mode again. There's several factors that make this game very easy and limit the replay-ability for players wanting more of a challenge their second time though. The "counter" system is literally broken. Basically if an enemy is alerted to you and walks toward you, you have the ability to attack and stun them for a short period of time. This trivializes the penalty for being caught. Where in Innocence, you would die and be forced to restart, in Requiem I would find myself countering the enemy then mad dashing toward the next section. Additionally, he fully upgraded crossbow also instantly trivializes the ENTIRE stealth system. Fully upgraded crossbow allows you to retrieve shot crossbow bolts off dead enemies, so you have infinite ammo for a weapon that one-shots all enemies (except fully armored ones which take 2 shots). As you can tell, this presents a problem for a game centered around using stealth and the environment to take out enemies.

    Facial Animations:
    This is more of a nitpick but whenever characters are out of cutscenes or scripted events, when they talk there is literally no facial expression. They just dead-eye, blank stare the camera and it feels like you're playing Skyrim.

    The Bad Camera Angle Rat Chases
    Felt like I was playing a resident evil game and killed me a lot more times than it should have.

    Amicia's Hair:
    Girl literally gets violated by Arnaud and has to buzz the sides because of it, then the Count makes it even worse and she just goes full bald. Second biggest tragedy in the game. RIP

    Conclusion: 9/10 would cry again    … Expand

Gameplay (although improved over the first instalment) is just not very good... stealth gameplay is average, combat is subpar so it gets boring really fast and AI is so dumb that it fells like you are being constantly chased by Joe Biden. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the game tho, actually quite the opposite.. you just have to know what are you going for. If you want a game with non stop action and great gameplay/combat experience overall then this is not for you.

    First is of course optimisation, there's nothing to talk about.

    Second one is ending. I think it should be illegal to do endings like this. For 2 games straight we fought for Hugo's life, but in the last 5 minutes we had to give up everything and kill him. So everything was pointless. Everyone who died in our pursuit of the cure, everyone who sacrificed their lives to help us, it all was for nothing because writers decided to make this story even more tragic than it's already is.

I would've appreciated less hand holding, and more freedom. Also, they really need to step up their in-game / facial animations. I found cutscenes enjoyable, overall mocap was fine actually. But a glaring issue was that in certain parts of the game where Amicia slowly walks and talks and some story is being told. These sections felt super weird and forced. Somehow it was "disconnected" from the overall feeling of the game. I'd have preferred more actual cutscenes rather than these "walking and talking " scenes. What is even sadder is that some high quality dialogues are being squandered by such a bad presentation, so it hurts extra.

    Graphics are amazing. It is truly a herald of what is to come. Story is great. It tells a heartfelt story with great character development. It manages to build up two characters from the ground up. Since they greatly botched the development of Beatrice/Lucas in 1st gam, it was refreshing to see actual characters that adds meaningful value to hugo and amicia's adventure in Arnaud and Sophia. Also story telling is not made in a omniscient way and for me it really adds a lot. You can live the surprise, suspense and curiousity of our adventurers.

    Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot ! If not for the weird combat sections where you "run around" with those horrible animations and shoot stuff around with your sling; it would be a perfect game. Stealth sections were really enjoyable from a gameplay perspective. Not great, but decent.

    These devs really have the potential to make something super great in future. I look forward to Asobo's productions. My only hope is that they go bigger and manage to secure a higher budget / longer production time.

    This is all I have to say for this game. I'm also hoping for sequels because this universe has the potential for it!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Plague Tale: Requiem is a work of love that is worth experiencing despite its flaws.
    When you look at this game, you have to keep in mind that Asobo Studios do not have the same resources as Naughty Dog or other AAA studios. They even use their own engine.
    Especially the outdoor areas look fantastic, the lighting seems like an Unreal 5 tech demo and the composition is often just perfect. That doesn’t mean the whole game looks superb. Characters also look great and their animations are good, but like some wrote facial animations can be a bit stiff in extremely emotional situations, most of the times I found them really good enough though.
    The voice acting is great, especially Amicia, and it’s true that Hugo’s voice can get annoying, but he is a young kid and that’s just quite authentic. An underlying issue makes this just more of a problem than it should be: The constant topic between Amicia and Hugo is the same and they go over and over and over it. If this was a 2 hour movie, it would have been fine, but 10-12 hours of the game is simply too long to let the characters exchange the same fears and topics again and again. At some point even a NPC tells them to shut up... so the writers were quite aware. Sadly, they also changed to British accents, which takes away some part of authenticity.
    Sound and music are well done and support the medieval theme and mood greatly.
    I would say that the story is presented well and quite emotionally touching, but definitely not a great one (will get to that later in detail). Dialogues are written in a simple way, which is often alright, but sometimes certain word uses gets repetitive and there is definitely squandered potential.
    And the gameplay? Well, you can craft now more useful ammo types to either control the rats or the lights (on/off). The AI and the sneaking part remains mostly the same, its formula is applied in different ways, but never gets you really excited. Why is there never an urgency through time pressure, for example? Or why do the soldiers never actively burn the fields? They could have done much to break up the stale formula of the stealth gameplay.
    The skill system has a balancing issue at least with the upgraded crossbow, which will give you back all your bolts back from corpses and then leads to just shooting everyone dead without any hassle. Also, they had the idea to connect it to the story and have people tell you constantly, that you should control yourself and so on. Of course, the writing team wanted to avoid the same problem as in Tomb Raider (2013): A young woman becomes a mass murdering machine, but is actually a quite nice and normal person. Let’s just say that also Asobo Studios didn’t solve it and by rubbing your nose into it, they just made it worse.
    The riddles are another part of the gameplay and I did like one or two, most of them were more of the same from Plague Tale part one and some were really a drag (the four cranes!). Unlike others, I didn’t fear the rats (anymore) and I was tired of getting from light to light in some artificial way.
    Sorry, but after that long time with the rats Amicia didn’t think to purchase a simple steel torch??? Or just keep the ones along the way? With that tool they would have walked through the whole game without a hassle. I know, it’s just a game, games are gamey, but this shows where games need to improve.
    And then there is the option to control the rats through Hugo, which I thought would be the new selling point of this part, but no. You can use it kinda 1-2 times and it’s also not that fun actually.
    And the fact that even in fights you hold hands with Hugo is clumsy from a movement perspective and in reality you wouldn’t do that, especially if you want to protect the child...
    The story: Unlike the first part, Plague Tale: Requiem is about superlatives. A bigger part of the game is a constant chase which almost feels like a rollercoaster ride, meaning it doesn’t care how much sense it all makes and focuses more on the spectacle.
    The “treasure hunt” for the truth about the macula is even for Indiana Jones standards illogical and the conclusions about the clues from Amicia more than far-fetched. Also, the underground architecture is ludicrous. Of course it’s impressive and a wow-moment when you look at it, but for me it’s just a step too far and it breaks the immersion a bit. Same goes for the rat chase sequences, which are so obviously fake.
    Personally, I am fine with the ending and it actually takes away some frustration from the fact that you actually did not find a cure. It's just a simple story about people fighting the inevitable.    … Expand

    Cons of the game:

    - no plot path choice; different - good and bad endings;

    - lack of co-op, playing for other characters (I saw a lot of potential when so many allies were around);

    - Encouraging players to pass NOoneSHOT from the guard, run in the door, helping photo mode - the casualness of the game;

    - lack of bosses; test mode for speed, time;

    - lack of new, revolutionary mechanics (Luka could definitely show Kuzma's mother)

    Luka is the best character in the game, who was pushed to the 2nd plan, IMHO!
    But still THANK YOU for a worthy continuation of Innocence.

    This game has spectacular views which makes me keep taking screen shots all the time. The story is a good one, especially the ending. There are many different interactions with NPC (like telling them to operate something or catching the torch you throw to them), which also makes it very interesting.

    O jogo é lindo, os gráficos são maravilhosos e a direção de arte cria visuais incríveis. A evolução gráfica é muito notável. Devo ressaltar que o design de áudio é absurdo, os efeitos sonoros misturados com as trilhas criam atmosferas muito impactantes. A escolha de cada trilha é muito bem feita e cuidadosa. Adorei o paralelo com o início do primeiro jogo e o final do segundo, onde Amicia se aventura em uma floresta com a música tema ao fundo.

    Em resumo, este jogo é uma ótima continuação que supera seu primeiro jogo em vários aspectos, apresentando uma história excelente, uma mitologia intrigante e personagens cativantes.    … Expand

However, Gameplay is not the driving force behind this title. The key role is played by the storyline, which, unlike the previous part, keeps a level throughout the gameplay. The story cleverly broke out of its poor position after the end of Plague Tale Innocence and is only getting more interesting with time. On the plus side, there's also a non-obvious ending and a few twists and turns. Although I'm not an enthusiast of an exaggerated amount of fantasy elements, they are well balanced and don't get in the way. Particularly impressive during the gameplay is the great graphics, many times I came across landscapes at which I stopped for a longer moment. The atmosphere of medieval France was also brilliantly portrayed in the game. Returning to the gameplay, many times we come across different types of puzzles, which are not particularly difficult, but are a nice alternative to stealth or combat. Combat hasn't improved much from the previous game, and unfortunately there's definitely more of it, slingshot shooting at multiple armed enemies is not only absurdly unrealistic but also not very fun, and the newly added crossbow is not only too op, but shooting it doesn't provide any satisfaction. Sneaking, on the other hand, could sometimes be annoyingly difficult for me when it could come to situations where we had a window of a few seconds to evade enemies, and a minimal mistake ended up in detection. More than once I ran between enemies reaching the next checkpoint or getting killed and being reborn at the very end of the sequence. In conclusion, A Plague Tale Requiem is not a perfect title especially when it comes to gameplay, but it defends itself with a great story and is certainly a step up from its predecessor.… Expand

    The story and gameplay were very repetitive at times, but I played until the end of the story. Since there are not many alternatives in the cinematic playground, they could enter the field of the best, but they could make the gameplay richer.

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..

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.

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...

    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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.
