Oct 18, 2022When the game sings in its strongest moments, however, it’s a joy to play. Solving environmental puzzles, discovering workbenches to upgrade your gear, uncovering hidden Codex entries, evading the enemy in rewarding, stealthy ways that empower the player’s sense of agency, and in unfolding the next bit of connective narrative tissue, A Plague Tale: Requiem is great. Excellent even. But it’s fleeting, and Asobo crashes you down to Earth just as quickly as you might have felt on top of it, driven largely by hard-fail scenarios and situations, bolstered still by antiquated or arbitrary gameplay systems.

Oct 17, 2022A Plague Tale: Requiem is a fantastic sequel on several counts. It improves on its predecessor in just about every way by finely tuning its stealth and navigation systems, adding more gameplay variety, and delivering a visually stunning world that puts games with much larger budgets to shame. Its weak spot comes down to its messy storytelling, which exposes the thematic limits of a medium that’s over reliant on violence as its primary form of interaction.

Oct 17, 2022The game has a lot of good things going for it. The narrative, puzzles, combat and new game mechanics make for an interesting and worthwhile experience but the extended game length is unnecessary and makes it feel like the story is being padded out to breaking point.

Oct 17, 2022A Plague Tale: Requiem has seemed to me an exercise as remarkable visually as irregular mechanically and narratively. A competent videogame that will please those who enjoyed the first one, but that repeats, and I would even say that it intensifies, some of the mistakes that were pointed out to the original.

Oct 17, 2022Logically enough, A Plague Tale: Requiem is a more beautiful, bigger, and complete continuation of its predecessor. Resuming the story where it left off, this new adventure embarks us in a story as well mastered as ever, filled with some very well-designed characters. The more open confrontations make the whole gameplay more dynamic without changing its essence. All in all, it is a beautiful narrative experience sublimated with some gorgeous sceneries that does not feel very different from the first episode. Players expecting bigger changes will be disappointed, but there is no doubt that single-player fans who liked A Plague Tale: Innocence will once again fall under its spell.
