A Plague Tale Requiem is a massive step up from the prior title and a straight up triple-A game now. Everything is improved massively - voice acting, music, environments, story, characters, graphics - I could go on. I couldn't stop thinking about this game between sessions, and I'm writing this review hoping that more people will buy it because the decelopers have earned it! I feel that Requiem is getting the Horizon Forbidden West treatment. Requiem is, like Forbidden West, a massive improvement over the first game, but for some reason it goes unnoticed. People really don't appreciate how much love and effort Asobo have put into this game.

    Yes, there are some framerate stability issues now and then, but nothing that ruins the experience at all. I was glued to the screen from start to finish, and I'm so happy I got to experience this emotional journey. Amicia and Hugo's voice actors deserve special recognition for a flawless performance. Amicia has become one of my favourite characters in gaming - and again, I really didn't enjoy her performance in Innocence, so that just goes to show the improvement! This game is without question a game of the year contender, and I really hope that the developers stick with the characters in this game.

    These days it's rare to get such a high quality singleplayer game with a great length. I have heard critics say that the game is too long and gets too sci-fi. Personally, I cannot understand these claims. The lore and setting - including it's more supernatural elements were fully established in Innocence, and Requiem is true to these in every regard, nothing more nothing less. This game explores the bond between brother and sister and how far you will go to protect someone you love, even if it means losing yourself in the process. If you ask me, that is a far more intruguing story than the inquisition-focused story of Innocence. As far as game length, it's perfect. Innocence was too short and this nails the story and pacing beautifully. I mean, when playing Requiem you keep wanting it to continue because it's so good!

    In my book, this game is a masterpiece and anyone with a ps5, xbox or pc owes it to themselves to play this game.    … Expand

    Requiem is an even more ambitious game than its predecessor, with more focus on Amicia's internal struggles as well as her little brother's worsening condition. The gameplay is more expansive as well, with different playstyle branches ranging from stealth, aggression and opportunity perks that progress as you go depending on how many lives you take along the way.

    Requiem has bigger and vaster stealth areas than Innocence. Combat, weapons and throwables are now more diverse. Controls, especially movement, are slightly improved, it doesn't feel as rigid as in the first game. There's an interesting skill system which allocates skill points to you according to how many enemies you kill. On the other hand, upgrade crafting mechanic is downgraded. In theRequiem has bigger and vaster stealth areas than Innocence. Combat, weapons and throwables are now more diverse. Controls, especially movement, are slightly improved, it doesn't feel as rigid as in the first game. There's an interesting skill system which allocates skill points to you according to how many enemies you kill. On the other hand, upgrade crafting mechanic is downgraded. In the first game you collect 3 types of rare material and 3 common types of resources. In Requiem there are no rare materials and common resources are for crafting throwables only. Rare materials are reduced to a boring "currency" called "pieces". This is not enough to motivate you to look for materials or even bother opening chests.

    Stealth and combat make only 10 % of the game. The rest 90 % is either walking, "cinematic experience gameplay" (running) or cutscenes. Moreover, the game often dictates your walk speed, forbids you to use throwables in certain areas and if not, it can cancel the effect of them on rats. Even the largest area is for "exploration" only. This direction of the game is pretty disappointing. The game is 17h long (Innocence 11h) which is too much for a very story driven game. It has rather slow pacing with the beginning chapters being fetch quests. The story doesn't move until the 11th chapter (there are 17).

    The devs chose "great cinematic scenes" over gameplay. The game drops below 15 fps in fiery and rat flooded areas.

    A great story, fun gameplay. One of the best games I’ve played in years. From start to finish I couldn’t stop playing. All the characters are written fantastically and you feel for them as the story continues and was saddened by the ending. If they ever release a 3rd installment I’ll buy it in a heartbeat.

    The Perfect Sequel
    Requiem makes everything bigger and better than it was. From environments, to gameplay, to story, to even voice acting is better. The ending is tragic and Charlotte McBurney performance as Amicia is one of the best of the year. Amicia has become one of my favorite protagonists in recent gaming history. Not just with Hugo . But the chemistry wit Kit Connor's Lucas is    The Perfect Sequel

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game was both beautiful and decently okay, my problem with this game lies with the fact that Beatrice, Arnaud, and Lucas appear again very late, only just to be killed off. What was the point of reintroducing these characters into the story again just for them to die? We could've at least gotten some time to spend with them before they died. And yes, I am aware Lucas didn't die but still.

    Another issue I had with this game is that we only mainly get to spend time with one character for the whole duration of the story, which is Sophia. I wish we could've gotten to explore the other personalities of the characters. Overall, the story was okay, it felt like a wild goose chase only to find death.

The characters, (especially Amicia and Hugo) were so well written, you get lost in the world very quickly, and they start to feel like real people rather than fictional. There were some frame drops at times, but it barely matters once you see the world and story they crafted.

    People giving it a 0 bc of fps is mind-boggling, considering when you look back on a game, you remember it for the story and the characters, not for handful of times the frames dropped by 5-10. We see so many developers nowadays where they seem to put all their time, money, and energy into only the graphics of their games, and none into the plot or the characters.

    You could tell the team at Asobo really cared about their game, and we’re thankful for it, because you don’t see it a lot these days. They swung for the fences on this one and absolutely crushed it.    … Expand

    This is my first time writing a review. I don't usually feel the need to share my experience and thoughts after watching a movie/tv show or playing a video game but A Plague Tale Requiem was such an epic, overwhelming and immersive adventure that I am not yet ready to let go off yet that I HAVE to take some time to write something to honor it.

    A Plague Tale Innocence was the first game that I played on the Playstation 5 after I bought it. I had no high expectations but I instantly fell in love with Amicia and Hugo. The visuals, the setting, the story, the OST - everything was perfect. The same goes for Requiem. The latter is an amazing follow up to the first game. The story is powerful, it explores even more the bond between Amicia and Hugo but it also introduces us to strong and endearing characters such as Sophia and Arnaud. I wasn't able to let go off my controller, I wanted to know what happened in the next chapter but I also wanted to take it slow because I didn't want my adventure with Amicia, Hugo & their friends to end. And when I finally got to that ending, oh boy, was I heartbroken.

    A Plague Tale Requiem is a real next-gen beast. Visually it's just perfect - even though the 30 fps is hard to swallow, you get over it after witnessing the incredible story and visuals unfold before your eyes. The music adds another layer and depth to the game. Just like Naughty Dog did with TLOU 2, Requiem goes deeper and deeper into its characters and makes them human... you almost forget that these are animated fictional characters and you start feeling happy, sad and angry whenever they too feel those emotions.

    Thoughts-
    A Plague Tale: Requiem is an absolute gem of a game. It’s not flawless, but it outdoes its predecessor in just about every way possible. Most of the improvements it makes might seem small and very iterative in isolation, but all of those smart changes come together to deliver a gameplay experience that feels significantly meatier and, as a result, much more enjoyable- and of course, the story, in spite of some writing inconsistencies, continues to shine. If A Plague Tale: Innocence laid down a solid foundation, Requiem builds a sleek and impressive tower on top of it. It’s one of the best games of the year.    … Expand

    There was something "off" from the start, but then, with that ending and the lackluster gameplay throughout the whole thing... I feel nothing, but regret for myself for wasting my time or getting excited for it in the first place.
    As much as I loved the first game, I was disappointed with the second one. We spent the whole first game growing our power and relationships, just to make it all meaningless in the second game. I get resetting power level, but character growth? Relly? It's so disappointing, especially when Amicia was the one acting like a child.
    On top of that, at one point the suffering was just too much and the game became just a depressing walking simulator.
    I've seen people praising it for tackling the topic of terminal illness, and that's fair I guess, but I don't think the message the devs were tying to convey hit the mark or left any positive(!) impact. If you have been so unlucky in life to experience something like this, then this game to you is just pure torture p*rn.
    I gave it a 5 because there were interesting parts, sometimes the story did make me wonder what would happen next and the few longer gameplay segments were fun.... but it still can't be compared to the last game.

It features engaging storytelling, decent progression system and most of the time solid gameplay. Since the last game they added Naughty Dog style set pieces as the environment around you constantly seems to be falling apart. Above all there is a sense of meaningful journey in terms of distance that you cover, enemies that you fight and the development of main characters. Side characters have their own minor story arcs and seem likeable. The quality of ending might be subjective but I side with those who claim it ended on good note providing poignant closure to the entire journey that encompasses two games - at the same time avoiding any major plot holes or inconsistencies. Eventually it's all coming together and starts making sense.
    As for the flaws - combat is as clunky as it was in the first game. Certain combat encounters in which Amicia takes on nothing short of entire army look absurd even for the videogames standard. Instead of dying instantly on contact with enemy - like in last game - Amicia can now withstand one hit from most enemies but there is a larger variety of them as some of them throw spears and fire projectiles from the distance while some of them charge at you head on. Fully upgraded crossbow with retrieveable bolts is way OP especially during later encounters.
    Weak performace is a big let-down. The game runs at 30 fps most of the time but every now and then it suffers from drops below 30 fps. The trade-off is that the game indeed is visually stunning but the lack of performance mode is a downer. On the good side - no game-breaking bugs and just one crash throughout the game.    … Expand

    Its absurd to even consider a game running at 30 FPS in 2022. The new consoles are more than capable of running this game at 60.

    The gameplay mechanics did not change from the first iteration, in all that's bad and good about them - they are repetitive "escape the rats with casting light on stuff" riddles that become increasingly complex. The graphics are the high part of the second showing, as is the voice acting.

    And yes, Hugo still has the same annoying kid voice as in the first part. Amicia is playing the role of tough strong female and has some new tricks up her sleeve - but many of the old mechanics are regurgitated ad nauseam. You'll find yourself looking desparately for what the devs must have thought obvious places to advance in a room (hint: most of them are not obvious) - voice cues should give hints but some are confusing even more as to what the solution might be.

    That said, it's a strong story with a mystical element as to what the sickness really is - and how to get rid of it and a strong narrative is presented throughout the same stale gameplay mechanics that were making the first part frustrating for many, me included.    … Expand

There is literally no excuse as to why these developers can't add a performance mode in their $60 game. It just goes to show how cheap and lazy these developers are. The physics are trash. The gameplay is boring and repetitive.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is beautiful, though the story leans towards the tragic too often and too intensely. There are certain moments within the narrative that could have been made in a different way, and still deliver the dramatic effect the game carries from the beginning. The lack of justification for some of the narrative choices is sad, and they wasted a series of possibilities which could have made the game much better.
    Hopefully they will stop at the second one, and not carry on with the series.

    Pros:
    Beautiful graphics
    Incredible sound effects
    Tense action

    Cons:
    Feels disconnected from the first one, almost as if they didn't like any possibility of a mildly pleasant ending.
    The lip sync is for English only, and considering it is a game in XIV century France, that is very disappointing.
    Story way too tragic, feels excessive and could have been less so.
    Some action scenes (running from rats) are repetitive and unnecessary.
    The aesthetics the Amicia embraces feels kinda forced and out of place. She is a French teenager in the XIV century, and the trans-gender-neutral aesthetic is very XXI century.

    Overall, a good game, but I really think they exaggerated on the "Last of Us" narrative and created a unnatural and over the top narrative of their own.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the first game, but this one fell apart so fast. First of all Amicia just wont shut up for the first half of the game. She only has one mode: panicky. It doesn't make any sense in the context of the previous game's story. She's constantly losing her sht and the voice actress overacts so much. This is so weird since the previous game was NOT like this.

    Then we have the story. My goodness was I annoyed and bored out of my mind playing this with my gf. Arnaud tries to kill Amicia and Hugo, but then SUDDENLY, for no reason whatsoever he saves them. There is even a sequence with him where he WILL kill you if he catches you, constantly taunting Amicia. Oh, then he's just your ally, because this is the level of writing. I would sometimes just blurt out loud "maybe the frenemies were the enemies we made along the way".

    Hugo ends up literally just chasing a blatant lie, there is no cure. We of course could have suspected this from the very start, but the story thinks it's being clever trying to trick us. Really, the BEST thing that could have been done from the very start would have been for Amicia to put a rock in Hugo's head and spare all the millions he kills. This is what ends up happening anyway.

    Did I mention Huge kils a sh1ton of people? It's hard to relate to the little sh1t since he doesn't feel any remorse whatsoever. Oh, neither does Amicia who should know better how Hugo is a walking disaster.

    At one point they split off from Lucas and their mother and I get the feeling they couldn't give two fks about the people they were supposed to care about in the first game.

    They reach an island where the "cure" was supposed to be. Locals have a legend about a child of embers, phoenix tropes, blah blah. Turns out the Count, the main villain, just made that all up because his wife is crazy, but somehow Hugo has a vision of this at the start of the game? Why? Because the Macula curse "tricked" Hugo? Huh?

    Amicia has these utterly stupid girlboss moments, but she gets slapped down every time. The toxic female empowerment here is off the charts, but somehow the writers thought they shouldn't push it too hard. It doesn't make much sense anyway since at one point you find Amicia's predecessor who took down like 40 soldiers. Yeah, sure she did, you slay queen in a universe where it's accepted that strength and armor do matter in a fight. Heck, a dude wouldn't have been able to do that, especially given the puny size of her predecessor's armor. This even happens in a fight were Amicia is injured and stupidly tries to use a two handed sword with one arm. She gets sliced up good, but is fine 5 minutes later.

    By the way, it was never really clear where the rats came from. Turns out they really are magical and are created in these huge disgusting pods. So when Hugo first arrives on the island he says he can't feel them. Then you find like a zillion under the island in a nest. The nest is literally formed of tens of thousands of skeletons. Like, how could people not have noticed this and kept coming to a remote island that literally couldn't house the population found in the rat nest?

    Then there's the tonal shifts. The game will literally be at its most doom and gloom, yet they find some flower and are cheery all of a sudden.

    Look, this game should never have been made. It's a shameless cashgrab with a story that is forced, the worst kind of sequel. Stick to the first one.    … Expand

    Got up to chapter 10, had uninstall. Was so bored of pulling ropes, lighting fires for hours. Could only play for 30 mins to an hour at a time until i decided this is too much lol. Gameplay is repetitive and boring. Story was okay with a great dynamic between a big sister and her brother but is beginning to lose me.

    I'm confused why this game got such good reviews - it has nice graphics, a somewhat interesting story, but the moment to moment gameplay is boring, the stealth is absolutely terrible, the puzzles are boring and repetitive, even repeating puzzles from the original game. I guess there is only so much you can do with fire and light.

I guess there is only so much you can do with fire and light.

    Even the different sections where they try to make it interesting by ramping up the action are just frustrating as you'll likely just die continuously until eventually by trial and error you manage to get through. It's the same with stealth as it's never entirely clear whether you'll be spotted or not.

    Then we get to the performance, luckily I have a 120hz screen so am able to play at 40fps, but at 1440p I really don't think that's good enough, and there are quite a lot of frame rate dips below it. I don't believe in 2022 40fps is adequate, the graphics are nice but don't justify this sacrifice on next gen consoles, 60fps I believe is entirely achievable there's just some serious optimisation to be made to get there,

    Overall, I found this a nice looking, interesting story but I couldn't face the constant terrible combat/stealth/puzzle sequences, I didn't find the story worthwhile to put up with those so ultimately didn't make it to the end    … Expand

    By the time A Plague Tale: Requiem concludes, it will feel like being dragged by a pick-up truck, across miles of concrete. The world depicted is a bleak and cruel one with no light at the end of the tunnel. Players will be getting their money's worth, as this is a very long game that is punctuated with lots of gimmicky sequences that add value to the package. The story does have a lot for fans to discuss, and the visuals are amazing, even if they came at the cost of a high frame rate. The gameplay is technically better than the first, but it was never amazing to begin with. The over reliance on prebaked contextual actions and the rigidness of simplistic stealth is something most could expect from a seventh gen console title, not a ninth gen console release.

    If you are on a quest to find a video game that could make you cry, may your quest end right here. A continuation of a story that was fine on its own, Requiem delivers one of the most powerful stories ever conceived in a video game. But be wary of the framerate drops on the PlayStation 5 console, which bring their own set of unforeseen despair.

    An essential purchase if you enjoyed Innocence, and an imperfect but gripping starting point if you missed it. Hopefully not the end of the tale. [Issue#21, p.80]
