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.

    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

The voice acting is also top notch. The soundtrack is so gd good. 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

    beautiful graphics, great voice acting & well told story with plenty of tears shed through the story. My game ran well on the PS5 but a higher frame rate would of been nice. I also liked the menu's UI and the use of the dualsense controller was perfect. 70% through the the game the stealth and sneaking around gets old.

    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.

    Writing is often clumsy; Forced combat sequences feel frustratingly clunky.

    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

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

    THE INNOCENCE IS GONE
    A Plague Tale: Requiem takes place six months after the first game, where Amicia and Hugo defeated Grand Inquisitor and foiled the Inquisition’s malicious plans. Hugo still has the sickness, Macula, in him. They thought his powers were under control, but they are awoken yet again. With that comes the rats that literally destroys everything and kill all people in    THE INNOCENCE IS GONE
    A Plague Tale: Requiem takes place six months after the first game, where Amicia and Hugo defeated Grand Inquisitor and foiled the Inquisition’s malicious plans. Hugo still has the sickness, Macula, in him. They thought his powers were under control, but they are awoken yet again. With that comes the rats that literally destroys everything and kill all people in sight. But, there’s a hope; in Hugo’s dreams he sees an island where he thinks lies the cure for his illness.

    So, that’s pretty much the basic storyline. It surely has twitst and turns, and all kinds of new characters are introduced in the game. The gameplay is pretty much the same, but this time Amicia and Hugo has new moves in they use. The only thing that I must say immediately, that the game introduces new moves throughout the game, but then they aren’t basically used anymore in the game. It introduces lots of other things, but seems like they had too many ideas and the game would’ve benefit for it being more simple.

    THE SAME GAMEPLAY ISSUES THAN BEFORE
    Then comes the bugs that might just ruin your gameplay completely. There are scenarios where I had to sneak amongst the enemies and also deal with the rats. Amicia had lots of different items she can use, then there’s the light that have to be used against the rats (because they are afraid of it), then there’s the soldiers that varies, meaning some I can kill and some I cannot because they have armor on them. So it is a lot to think about and to do. In these situations, where even millimeter out of light might get me eaten by rats, and I have a NPC with me that might suddenly run somewhere and die. Or the janky gameplay in general get me killed. So, there’s lots of dying and fustration with this game, in all together. So don’t expect perfect and polished game at all, it still has the same issues like they had with the first game.

    What comes to the overall length of the game; it is a way too long. This is an issue what I see in lots of games. They don’t know when to just cut things off. Every time when I thought that the game is about to end, a new thing happened and the game went on. It was very much like this: a peaceful moment with Amicia and Hugo and everything is fine, then the rats came and destroyed the whole city and ate all the people, then they have to survive through it and soldiers, then a peaceful moment again… so it was very much rinse and repeat. It only took so much until the effect of it dies.

    Visually, the game looked a-ma-zing!! I took so many screenshots and used photo mode all the time. The game is gory and dreadful, and it’s not even shy about it. The game is very emotional and the storytelling is good. What makes it even better, is the voice acting, which was great, but might get little used to first. The relationship between Amicia and Hugo feels genuine, and it’s very endearing.

    The puzzles, the few that were introduced, weren’t that hard to solve. There was only one puzzle that took me a while to solve.

    THE FINAL VERDICT
    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a good game. It is longer than the first one. It introduces new characters, huge areas and cities, new gameplay mechanics and graphically it is a very polished game. I liked the story, even though the game was a way too long and streched. Do I recommend it, is it a must play? Yes, it is.    … Expand

    Taking into account that Asobo Studio has a smaller budget than other studios, the scenarios, castles and environments in general are completely awesome. Is not a perfect game (some minor bugs and, of course, the 30 fps cap). A linear story game as I expected and as Innocence was with more mechanics and a longer duration. In a nutshell, more and better. Highly recommended.

    This game lives from its story and characters. I love how you never feel alone when playing. The interaction between the characters during gameplay is so great. You can see the development between Amicia and Hugo during the game and this is not done using cutscenes. It’s great that you get to know plenty of other characters and can enjoy their company too.

    The graphics, sound, voices and music are really satisfying and atmospheric and it’s absolutely beautiful to watch, hear and walk through it.

Where it lacks is combat, sometimes it is very frustrating and annoying so much that you want to quit and never pick it up again. But the story makes wanna complete it.

    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.
