    Meccaniche di gioco innovative rispetto al precedente grafica migliorata molto scorrevole su PS5. Qualche bug di poco conto durante il gioco ma nulla di esagerato. Stile di combattimento molto bello a mio avviso pecca un po nelle fasi stealth e nel trasporto del classico carretto per facilitati a salire però tutto sommato è ok.Voto personale 9

    I enjoyed the first Plague Tale game. The puzzles were new and interesting and I managed to make it through the game completely. I paid very little for the first game and got excellent value and was very impressed that a lower budget game could use a gimmick like thousands of rats in an interesting unique and challenging way. This game is completely different and feels very unfinished. II enjoyed the first Plague Tale game. The puzzles were new and interesting and I managed to make it through the game completely.

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. I regret paying full retail for this and can't bring myself to finish it.… Expand

    A number of PS5 games have amazing graphics at 60 - 90 fps and at 1440 resolution. This game looks last gen.

    This is one of the worst game I've ever played in my life. A 2022 game visually looking like Witcher 3, running at 30fps on PS5 charging for a AAA game price and, on top of these, sucked at every aspect of game design.

    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.

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.

    Everything is fantastic but the animation of the face while in the live game ( not in the cutscenes) is poor just like the robot, the story excellent but it's not good enough, I was expecting more explanation for the plague, I don't care about fps too much but in ps5 was enjoying a little pit

    This 2nd part is even better than the 1st. the Story is amazing, the characters are well written and i would recommend it 100%. The only issue i´m not giving it a 10 is the frame drops on PS5. But you should definitely play it.

    There is not enough mode with 60 frames per second, because it was possible to add such a mode, even at a resolution of 1080p, as well as voice acting in Russian, since reading subtitles is very distracting from the gameplay and does not allow you to properly immerse yourself in the game. The rest turned out to be quite an exciting adventure.

Definitely the best game of the year for me, i value story and plot a lot and i miss games that take it as seriously as they did in A Plague Tale. From captivating characters to a well-constructed and well-guided narrative during gameplay, different styles of combat, make you feel in the shoes of someone with no specific training like Amicia, graphics i don't even speak, how beautiful...the game has points that can improve like all the others but overall it's an amazing and unique experience, at least for me, the second only game that made me cry for a long time.… Expand

    Gave it a 10 to up the overtall rating. This is an 8.6 outa 10 for me. The combat and stealth is holding this game back. But the story and characters in this game is fantastic, the performance of amicia’s actress is flawless and is one of the best perfomance in a game ever.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game,even better than the first one.There are more mechanicks in the game that really spice up your game play and the story is perfection.In the first game we didnt exacly know why this plague started and we thought its was because of the rats and the Macula,but it is way more deeper than that.I kind of didnt like the ending where Hugo died but i think thats just me not wanting to let go of him but its ok,its still a amazing game overall and i cant wait for the 3rd one.I just hope Amicia is going to be in the next game with Sophia.There was a post credit scene where we are shown a hand of a baby infected from the Macula showing us that a 3rd game will maybe come but who knows.I just have one issue with it in the back round we can hear somekind of machine and someone on high heels,telling us that that post credit scene is maybe set in modern time.I dont think its going to be a good idea to have the next game in modern time because that means that we wont have Amicias signature weapon the sling witch is a magura part of the games weapons that Amicia uses,and that would mean that we cant play Amicia because when we play as Amicia its in the year 1346,but then thath would mean that Amicia is dead before another carrirer is born.I think the 3rd game should be about Amicai,Sophia,Lucas,the next carirer,the protector and maybe some new characters to come along our journey.But i mean thats just my opinion,i just think its better to keep the origional cast and maybe like 5 years after Requiem.Ive seen that the studio that made this game(forgot the name)does not have andy plans yet for the series,but they have said that they are going to wait for the reviews for the game before they have plans for a 3rd plague tale game,but considering that the reviews for now are great i think we are looking foward to another plague tale game.I just can wait what they are going to do with the 3rd game!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So a massively enjoyed the first game, a different yet familiar story with a twist…so much so that straight after finishing, seeing a sequel had been just realised, was straight on it to see where these characters would go next.
    For me there was a lack of familiarity from the get go, which isn’t bad but I wanted the story to continue, the change in amicas voice took a while to get used to (which to honest was an massive improvement as the faux French that was well almost laughable before ) it disconnected me from the character and then…the graphics… when moving the game stuttered frequently, such a shame as when standing still or during cut scenes was gorgeous, this was infuriating as the previous game ran so smoothly so that’s the 2points lost there.
    I found the game more challenging due to the larger environments and had appreciation to the new management/weapon system, the new characters were good, and the addition to the knife was welcomed, I did find myself missing the old upgrade system though as finding basic parts just weren’t as exciting to find as that piece of leather etc that you could use to upgrade or make luminosa for extra exploration or save self from infestation.
    The story held up and I hope the story continues if not in an another sequel some dcl. Hugo was annoying but didn’t expect him to die, maybe his voice will forever live in Amicias head who knows but in honesty if not for the graphics I’d easily give this a 9/10    … 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. 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

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.

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

    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

    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]
