    and then at the very end it will shot you through your heart.
    This is what A Plague Tale: Requiem is all about.

    PS: It has some of the most beautiful and horrifying graphics i've ever seen and the music is superb.
    Charlotte Mcburney (Amicia) did a excellent job in this game.
    I wish that it had boss fights like Innocence and more puzzles with riddles and that stuff instead of environmental type ones.    … Expand

    As someone who has played Innocence, and also has a similar bond with a younger sibling, this has hit me right in the feels.

    The gameplay isn't anything groundbreaking, i'd say is more of the first game but with slight upgrades/tweaks.

    After playing Innocence and Requiem, I'll definitely put Amicia in my the top 5 best female characters in gaming, along with Aloy and Ellie.    … Expand

    In fact what exactly is the point in waiting years in anticipation for something to be made only to get through it in a single playthrough? Really got your moneys worth then right? LMFAO!

    Yes it is longer than the first but it packs a lot more in as well as a large range of new mechanics with the sling. One thing that may really annoy you is every time you reach a workbench you probably won't have enough materials to upgrade anything.

    I guess that's why NG+ is so appealing as it allows you to keep everything you had in the first playthrough to the next one so you can max out all your abilities.

    Anyway excellent sequel to an already good game. This just added much more. Some of the things they managed to pull off are jaw dropping especially the increase in the rat population.    … Expand

But my biggest issues with the first Plague tale still remain. This game is very linear and there is almost no room for solving situations creatively. 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. But if you just want to experience one epic adventure with absolutely brutal atmosphere and great, relatable cast of characters then I can wholeheartedly recommend this game.… Expand

    Astonishing Graphics, good story telling, fine performance optimization.

    Combat is a bit boring but this is a storytelling game so I was okay with it.
    A little bit too long though. Also, there were a few crashes here and there.

    Overall, one of the best game I have played this year.

    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.

    Incredible Graphics and Sound presentation.

    The first game in this saga, A Plague Tale: Innocence, surprised many people with its great graphics and story, back in 2019. Three years later, it is absolutely incredible that we can play a complete sequel, and with such a huge jump in visual fidelity, because Plague Tale: Requiem is a very beautiful looking game, for sure. Let’s talk    Incredible Graphics and Sound presentation.

    The first game in this saga, A Plague Tale: Innocence, surprised many people with its great graphics and story, back in 2019.

    Three years later, it is absolutely incredible that we can play a complete sequel, and with such a huge jump in visual fidelity, because Plague Tale: Requiem is a very beautiful looking game, for sure.

    Let’s talk Performance, firstly: on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, the game is often at, or close to, the 60 FPS cap I manually set via Rivatuner, at 1440p DLDSR, Ultra Settings, with Quality DLSS.
    I also spent quite a lot of time at 1620p DLDSR, but with Balanced DLSS, and the results were pretty similar.
    The one setting that impacts performance the most is Draw Distance, but it depends on the area, so my advice with that one is to lower it to High or even Medium, but you will see some popping in the more open areas, not so much indoors.

    In the occasions where my system cannot keep 60 FPS, it often hovers around the low 50s, and the worst I’ve seen in this game is 45 to 48, particularly in a couple scenes.
    Overall, paired with my Gsync monitor, not a big deal, but I’ve also noticed small short frametime spikes when the game does an auto-save, not too bad, but they’re there, sometimes.

    Considering how amazing the visual presentation is in this game, I think the performance is quite justified and it’s not that difficult to play at a higher and better performance and settings level than current generation consoles.

    Sound design is also incredible in this game, particularly if you can use Dolby Atmos, but even without it, the game sounds incredible, and the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic.

    When it comes to Characters, much like Innocence, Requiem does not disappoint at all, and getting into specifics would be spoiler territory, so I’m going to avoid that, but be prepared for various kinds of feelings, happiness and sadness all over, much like in the first game.

    I had a great time with the game, its improved combat mechanics over the first installment, and exploring the levels, which are much bigger than in Innocence, but still in a familiar way: I never felt lost or anything like that, this is not an open world game.

    My only nitpick about it is the skills progression system, which is completely tied to how we play: three types of tiers and each one corresponds to playing full on aggressive, full on stealthy or a mix or both, and after each area with enemy encounters, and the game does an auto-save, you will see sometimes you have leveled up one or various of those progression tiers.
    Therefore, there’s “player choice” involved here, but the game fails a bit at properly explaining how this works, especially early on.

    All in all, still an amazing experience, and very much worth playing if you liked Innocence, both games together make up for an incredible saga, and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for this series.    … Expand

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.

    Сухой обзор сухого сиквела - Сказка о чуме: Реквием. Сразу опишу краткий вывод, с которым я угадал ещё до выхода проекта, это продолжение ради продолжения: Лучше ли оно первой части в сюжетном плане? - Нет. Повторяет ли она первую часть - Да. 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..

    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.

И это прискорбно, ведь она получилась не только отличным сюжетным приключением, а действительно достойным и показательным продолжением.

    В сравнении с оригиналом, Requiem претерпела немного изменений в геймплейном плане. Разработчики не стали что-то выдумывать, и просто довели все аспекты первой игры до идеала, приправив это небольшим количеством нововведений. Продолжение ощущается намного бодрее, за счёт чего дарит совершенно другие эмоции. Локации стали просторнее и вариативнее, противники поумнели, а у главных героев теперь больше способов для их ликвидации. Появилась пассивная система прокачки, которая будет зависеть от вашего стиля прохождения, а так же увеличилось количество разнообразных боеприпасов, необходимых как для стелса, так и для более жёсткого стиля. Мир способен постоянно преподносить сюрпризы, загадки, и рассказывать разные истории. Его красоты повсеместно заставляют оглядываться вокруг. С их помощью разработчики как будто создают контраст и разбавляют тёмные и тяжёлые моменты, которые проживает игрок.

    После прекрасной и немного жуткой истории первой plague tale, качество исполнения этого аспекта в сиквеле сомнений не вызывало. В общих чертах сюжет прямо продолжает трогательную первую часть, и держит в напряжении до самого конца, заставляя больше прежнего переживать за прекрасно прописанных героев. Здесь история, хоть по началу и кажется немного красочнее, представлена ещё жёстче и серьёзнее. Всего за пару минут игра способна показать солнечные цветущие улицы Прованса, и его тёмные, пропитанные кровью и грязью, закоулки. Амиции и Гуго предстоит пройти ещё более трудный путь, на котором их ждут опасные испытания. В этот раз на помощь снова приходят как уже знакомые игроку персонажи, так и новые товарищи, которых мы встретим путешествуя по средневековой Франции.

    Requiem - это полностью линейная история, которая по моему мнению, не только не уступает большинству из хитов корпорации Sony, а чем-то даже превосходит их. Asobo Studio продемонстрировали одну из самых красивых игр на данный момент, сиквел удивляет своим дизайном и визуалом. А вкупе с талантливо написанной музыкой, шикарной историей, и достойной постановкой, выводит студию на абсолютно новый уровень.

    Может сказка и получилась немного затянутой, неоптимизированной, и где-то вторичной, по ней видно, что команда любила этот проект, вкладывала в него много сил, и в итоге создала что-то по-настоящему масштабное. Такое действительно достойно уважения.    … Expand

    Hikaye gerçekten ilgi çekici ve acıklı. Lanetli ama çok sevimli, istemden de olsa binlerce insanın ölümüne sebep olan kardeş ve onu kurtarmaya çalışan ablası. Vebanın çıkışını fantastik bir şekilde ele alıyor. Hikayeye girip çıkan karakterler de fena değil. Baş karakterimizin seslendirmesi muazzam. Çok iyi geçiriyor duyguyu.

Meaning that if you try to pass every level (level design and their capacity pleasantly surprise) as stealthy as possible, some chapters of the story make you only fight even if you're not used to it.
    P.S.: it's weird that there wasn't any final boss whatsoever...    … Expand

    I just can't for the life of me understand why they even bothered making a sequel to the original Plague tale. 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.

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 story starts very peaceful, when suddenly hell seems to break loose. Then it's peaceful again and suddenly hell breaks loose again. Next you're tasked with a couple of errand runs. It doesn't feel very meaningful and engaging but like a series of levels and gameplay challenges (one of which holds a task right in front of your nose that's not even achievable -> saving the herbalist). The first game ingeniously connected story and gameplay. Every combat encounter, every rat/fire-puzzle was meticulously designed and pulled you into the story. This time around developers tried to expand gameplay when gameplay really was never the stronghold of their first game.

    Sadly a step backwards. I wouldn't have needed a second part.    … Expand

Tout d'abord, on passe d'un jeu d'infiltration ou notre personnage est clairement plus faible à un jeu d'action. Et c'est très surprenant au début. Le jeu nous pousse beaucoup à la violence. trop même. 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. En conclusion, un bon jeu, que je recommande au fan du premier jeu. Ceux qui ne connaissent pas cependant, je vous conseille de faire d'abord le premier, puis, de voir si le 2 vous intéresse.… Expand

    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.

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

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...
    І отакі сценарні прорахунки дуже портять враження від гри, я рахую, тому не 9 з 10 а тільки 6.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Genuinely one of the best story games I have ever played. While its combat elements of course aren't comparable to those of The Witcher for example, it excels at what it is designed for. Improving on the first game, you can finally more freely decide whether you want to sneak past everything, make use of the different slingshot/crossbow ammunition, or to mostly just brawl through, with most parts of the game offering you multiple paths/ways to the desired goal.

    What this game REALLY does better than any other game I have played so far is making a both realistic but wonderful looking world and environment that wonderfully fits the storytelling. The story itself is touching all the way through.

    Spoiler part:
    ----------------
    While I usually prefer happy endings, this one just hits hard and... makes sense. An ending where they cured Hugo through some miracle or the power of friendship would have heavily undermined/retconned the characteristic obsession that Amicia pushed the group forward with.    … Expand

    First of all, I strongly recommend the use of Dualsense for this game, it gives an incredible experience, besides playing it in its original language.

    This is perhaps one of the few titles that really feels like a new generation game, and I'm not talking about stressing the hardware too much. The setting and the technical section are brutal, it is visually beautiful, but not everything is ''how it looks'', in games focused on the narrative the most important thing is ''how it feels'', it is a direct continuation of its prequel, I could say that its gameplay improved, it does not feel rough as the previous one felt in certain moments, now it is perceived greater versatility and they gave Amicia ways to defend herself removing the insta-kill present in the previous installment, also the stealth is improved.

    The story is completely tragic, in many parts of the game when apparently everything gets better, then it gets worse again and the situation feels even more complicated, this basically happens throughout the course of the game, somehow gives hope to then give light to an end not at all promising, but quite expected. All this is told through a symbiotic relationship between cinematics and gameplay very well constructed, in this sense one could believe that this is a PlayStation Studios game.

    Something that could be criticized is the optimization, especially on consoles, I played it on PS5 and my surprise was quite big when I found out that it was limited to 30 FPS and suffered terrible drops even at 20 FPS, that on PC was solved, since with quite demanding graphics settings I achieve 60 FPS stable in areas where there is no action and no abuse of alchemy and even better results using the mod that allows using the FSR technology (all this with a GPU equivalent to the new generation consoles).

    For me it is a game that everyone should play, I take into consideration that there are people who don't play games with plot and cinematics and stay in the typical generic shooter game #427, but this experience I would really wish it to anyone.

    In conclusion, A Plague Tale Requiem is A Plague Tale Innocence, but better and feels like a spiritual GOTY, which certainly had nothing to do against two giants, but it could have taken some consolation prize because it deserved it.    … Expand

    Game's a masterpiece as much as the first one.

    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

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.

    Although Amicia now has a crossbow and some new alchemical tricks, the gameplay in this game has not changed much from the previous one.

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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.
