    A patch has been released that mostly fixes the performance for PS5, so I change my score up to 8 now. Game itself is really good, but performance have been bad across the board, but for PS5 it seems mostly fixed now - don't know the PC situation. I am glad the developers actually fix these things, but it's really late. But better late than never

    Now, the graphics, yes sir, take off your hat, glorious. If you don't like stealth don't buy it and the story in my opinion is great. Very good game, worth every penny.
    But really, what surprised me the most are the graphics, and I played many games with very good graphics, but in this one especially they are wonderful.

    This game did a stupendous job at taking the good stuff with its predecessor and building on it, both story-wise and gameplay-wise. I'm personally not too big of a stealth gamer, but I still really enjoyed playing.

    You can also tell the creative direction and graphics were massively improved from the first one, incredible beauty and stuff of nightmares are in this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so confused by the reviews, that I decided to write my own. The game is beautiful, yes, mostly because of this idea with rats. Huge waves look cool, no doubt. The landscapes are beautiful also, but I honestly can’t say it’s something unique.
    The story is great as well, might be not my cup of tea, but I get why people like it. Won’t say much here, there is enough written in other reviews
    But what’s with gameplay? I might be missing something, but it just doesn’t seem to work. Whats the point of all this “rpg elements”, skill tree, upgrades if it basically change nothing. The only real purpose of all this hidden chests is just to give you motivation to explore the levels and that’s it. All this upgrades might give you a small advantage but why would you need it? In a nutshell the game is just a linear sequence of puzzles. So if you are already good enough in solving this puzzles, you would get advantage in solving them, so if they are already easy enough they would only get easier. Like what’s the point? I’m not an expert in game design but this approach really seems to be awful. And there is almost always all the necessary resources laying just in place where they are needed so it’s not a big deal to figure out what should you do
    Normally, if you are unable to complete the quest in RPG you just go grind somewhere else and then return when you get enough power/skills/resources. Here all this is pointless because you always have enough resources Apart from that it’s a nice game    … Expand

È un gioco fortemente story driven e poco rigiocabile data la sua linearità di fondo e il genere di appartenenza, ma da vivere intensamente e per cui varrà la pena spendere il vostro tempo. Pesca a piene mani dai migliori, ma mantiene una sua identità ben definita, prendendo quanto c’era di buono nel primo capitolo ed elevandolo in quasi ogni aspetto. Comparto artistico di spessore con scenari meravigliosi che trasmettono pace e bellezza in alcuni casi, ma soprattutto che riescono a trasmettere il degrado e il marcio in altri, merito anche di un comparto grafico mozzafiato anche a 30 fps (non pregiudicano in alcun modo la godibilità del titolo). Sono rimasto molto stupito per quanto riguarda la recitazione digitale, regia e in generale la spettacolarità di alcune scene, molto cinematografiche e che non mi sarei mai aspettato di trovare in un titolo come questo. Musiche, sonoro e doppiaggi al top (dispiace un po’ per l’assenza del doppiaggio in italiano).
    Non è un gioco perfetto, ha ancora delle criticità di gameplay: una leggera legnosità a tratti e un’IA nemica non brillantissima che fa sfociare a volte il titolo nel trial and error data la natura stealth, infatti, purtroppo, l’approccio a viso aperto andrebbe rivisto, ma tutto sommato questo non va troppo a rovinare l’avventura nel complesso che spinge sempre ad andare avanti con una narrativa incalzante e mai banale e tante novità e senso di scoperta, sia a livello di meccaniche di gameplay, sia a livello di ritmo (ottimo) e varietà di situazioni.
    In definitiva un’opera consigliata senza remore a chiunque. Delle piccole criticità di gameplay non gli permettono purtroppo di raggiungere l’eccellenza, ma davvero complimenti ad Asobo Studio, che con un piccolo team di sviluppo ha portato avanti uno sforzo produttivo enorme e ci ha regalato questa piccola perla videoludica.    … Expand

    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.

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.

    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 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. But A Plague Tale Requiem is such a major improvement from the first game.    … 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seriously one of the best games I've ever played! The bond between Hugo and Amicia is one of the best in gaming and the graphics are absolutely beautiful. Sadly the game runs at a locked 30 fps but it more than makes up for it with all the rats on screen and some of the best graphics in gaming unlike Gotham knights which runs at 30 fps but somehow has worse combat and graphics than Arkham knight from 2015.

    The gameplay is also very satisfying and it rewards quick thinking and cunning. The voice acting is also top notch especially for Amicia. Lastly i won't spoil anything but the ending for this game will make you cry and it will definitely stick in your head for a few days. It is one of the most shocking endings I've ever seen in a video game.    … Expand

    Great game. Graphics look good and the story is amazing and also something different then most games. 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. So -2 for the combat and is an 8.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was worried that the second outing wouldn't live up to how great the first game was - but my goodness, how wrong was I!

    Amicia has clearly developed as a character since the last game, now noticeably stronger and more determined - she seems to be walking a tightrope of giving into all of the killing though; and the voice actress does a compelling job of conveying all the hurt and angst.

    The game looks phenomenal - one of the best looking games on the PS5, the lower FPS cap really isn't an issue, as it's not a twitch shooter. The sound is also very moving and jarring when needed - it adds yet another dimension of quality to an already great package.

    The story was also brilliant - started slowly, but pulls you in more and more. Very few games have me genuinely caring for the characters; but Requiem had me rooting for all, and the conclusion was a real tear-jerker. I get waiting and hoping that the end wasn't what it was, expecting Hugo to pop up - but alas.

    This is easily one of the best games I have played - I always held TLOU as my greatest game, but this might topple it, or at the least sit alongside.

    Hope this gets GOTY but sadly the public decide that, and people will likely vote some cookie cutter trash like COD.

    This, and Innocence, are fantastic adult games - I urge anyone who loves a great story to buy them both, you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    I played this on Xbox Game Pass (PC) on its release day. While I enjoyed the story but encountered so many bugs/glitches that prevented me from continuing the story. I literally got stuck around Chapter 2's puzzles because the interactions disappeared. Hopefully, if the bugs/glitches are fixed, I'd recommend it since the story was good. But if it's still broken, I'd recommend waiting a bit.

    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 game is completely different and feels very unfinished. I paid full retail price for this game on the basis of my enjoyment of the first and I've been very bored and disappointed with this game. I'm 10 chapters in and just want to give up now out of sheer frustration of how clunky and ridgid and unpolished this game is. I don't mind the 30fps since it feels relatively smooth to me still. Thats not my issue. The visuals look good. My issue with the game is that there is no variety going into puzzles or challenges. The gameplay is pure trial and error and every challenge has to be completed in a specific way so you die until you do what you're supposed to do and a lot of the times it's not obvious at all what the devs intend for you to do hence the game feels unpolished, hollow and unfinished. The combat in the game sucks, the stealth is the game is amazingly stupid and the worst I've ever experienced. You literally have to progress with trial and error and can't use your intuition or logic to progress. The clunkiness of the mechanics becomes frustrating since you'll be walking with a child and another NPC that often gets in your way. This is a £5-£10 game and definitely much worse than the first.

    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.
