    Not as good as Innocence, but still a great freaking game! I really hope Asobo Studio keep making this kind of games from now on.

    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. Attempts to extend game time sometimes brought the game to the point of quitting.

    Amazing seuqel to an amazing game. It's bigger, longer and I had great time playing it, even though it's very linear and you have almost no space to improvise/explore.

    Plague Tales are my favourite games of all time. From someone who has played 35+ story games including RDR2, both Norse GOD of Wars, horizon zero dawn, all three Assassins creed RPGs etc. Great presentation and the most heartfelt and emotional story with the most beautifully written, acted and designed characters I've experienced.

    Also I consider these survival games rather than stealth games

    o jogo é muito bonito e tem gráficos surreais, ele faz jus a ser chamado de next gen, a história é excelente, os personagens são mt bons, a narrativa é bem construída, ele é um jogo pesado, porem ta longe de ser mal otimizado, é um jogo mt bem feito

    Endlich mal ein vermeintlich vorerst tragisches Ende das berührt.

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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 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

    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.

    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

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

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

    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.
