A Plague Tale: Requiem - Cloud Version

When Innocence came out, it took a lot of familiar things, like stealth action and environmental puzzles, and put them together into an experience that was unlike anything I’d ever played before. Requiem doesn’t have that advantage. The novelty isn’t there anymore. The puzzles are more complex, the world is a little bigger, but you’re still doing a lot of the same things. The good thing is that those things remain intense and terrifying, and Amicia and Huge’s plight continues to be fascinating to watch unfold. After two games, I still cringe at the site of thousands of ferocious rats and hold my breath until the kids find a momentary safe space. Many of the additions feel more like padding than necessary changes, and so the sequel doesn’t hold quite the same punch as the original — but that doesn’t make the rats any less scary.
