    Decent story, but the product feels more like a walking simulator (and an incredibly slow-paced one at that) more than an actual game. The game is also exceedingly linear, leaves little agency to the player to drive the gameplay in any meaningful way. The puzzle elements are very cliche and uninspired. Unfortunately all of this amounts to a ridiculously...trudgingly...slow paced, tedious,Decent story, but the product feels more like a walking simulator (and an incredibly slow-paced one at that) more than an actual game.

Unfortunately all of this amounts to a ridiculously...trudgingly...slow paced, tedious, and relatively boring experience. You're better off just watching a playthrough on YouTube and saving yourself the hassle & expensive of paying to be bored.… Expand

    If you really really love avoiding swarms of rats and retarded soldiers then this game is for you. I cannot understand the positive reviews for this game. It looks nice sure.. but playability and story are pure rubbish.

    Hand holding yawn simulator. Imagine tomb raider... without the action.. with a kid constantly yapping on.. with puzzles that a cat scratching at your controller could solve.. Then bring the kid back who constantly stands in your way, as if the interaction buttons aren't bad enough to line up with.

    This last gen looking game is a snoozefest.

    Итак. Для того чтобы узнать чем же закончилась игра Plague Tale Innocence, и что же ждёт героев дальше, была приобретена ПК версия Рэквиема. И о боже, какой же ошибкой это было...
    А теперь по порядку. Полное отсутствие оптимизации как таковой. Вечно залипающие текстурки героев. Непомерно огромные хитбоксы стен в которые врезается моделька персонажа. Просадки ниже 20 FPS.

    А теперь по порядку. Полное отсутствие оптимизации как таковой. Вечно залипающие текстурки героев. Непомерно огромные хитбоксы стен в которые врезается моделька персонажа. Просадки ниже 20 FPS. Худшего дер**а в своей жизни ни разу на компьютер не ставил. То что данная игра это тотальная недоработка и кошмар, это еще слабо сказанно.
    Если разработчики так сильно хотят денег за эту игру, то единственное желание это дать их игре место на торрентах, дабы они не заработали ни копейки и наконец-то поняли, что быть заднеприводным уродом это не значит что все покупающие вашу игру такие же.
    Звук который заикается и глючит каждый раз когда на экране появляются хвалёные толпы крыс. А иногда звук глючит и просто так. Качество текстур оставляет желать лучшего. Отсутствие FSR (хотя бы версию 1.0 дали бы, но нет). Даже на высоком уровне графики текстуры превращаются в мыло.
    Стелс миссии. Ммм, просто блаженство. Ты можешь бежать через всю локацию с Гуго и никто тебя не убьёт, особенно если проигрывается анимация открывания дверей.
    Растягивание сюжета, сотнями разговоров и медленной ходьбы, надоедают уже через 15-20 минут.
    Вначале игры говорится о том что надо бежать, Гуго плохо и его надо лечить, но нет "А пройдёмся ка мы по полю и пособираем перья, а?"
    Отвратительное построение сюжетной линии лишь усугубляет и без того шаткое положение игры, из-за отвратительной графики и отсутствия оптимизации.

    В заключении хочу сказать лишь одно. Когда критикам заносят чемодан с деньгами и они пишут хорошие отзывы, это не гарантирует что игра классная.    … Expand

    where do i start?
    first, the game didnt need a sequel as the first part was not that good to begin with! walking around with a child and a mediocre sling is not fun! hiding and stealthing is also not fun! this is not a game, this is a movie, good visuals with bad framerate lol....
    to sum up this movie lacks gameplay and technical performance... i gave it 2 for there effort on visuals.

    Sorry gave zero points because i cant play it, i bought XSX so that i can play high fps game, i expected the A Plague Tale 2 a long time but disappointed until i open it on my XSX, lower fps made me uncomfortable, so i hope Focus Home can optimize it.

    Moué, bah c’est pas ça qu’est ça… et c’est d’autant plus étonnant que le premier Plague Tale avait bien des qualités malgré (déjà) des lourdeurs peu communes ! non ne rêvez pas, le gamin est toujours insupportable même s’il peut se révéler (enfin) utile mais trop tardivement dans le jeu cependant !…

    Un jeu par ailleurs trop long, qui n’en finit pas de s’étaler même s’il tente de varier ce qu’il propose avec plus ou moins d’à-propos et/ou de maladresses… Les dialogues sont consternants de nullité, presque aussi nuls que l’espèce d’histoire, de pseudo-scénario fatigué qu’Asobo tente de nous refourguer ! Le doublage est à côté de la plaque, constamment exagéré et surjoué, c’est franchement pénible. Sans parler de cette psychologie de comptoir des personnages…

    L’infiltration est claquée au sol, de même que les combats lourdingues comme c’est pas permis ; de manière générale, les scripts incessants rendent ce jeu-couloir très pénible à jouer. Il faut toujours suivre la façon et le chemin prévu sinon ça ne fonctionne pas… comme prévu (‘recommencer la section’).

    Pour résumer, il s’agit d’un mauvais jeu d’infiltration, d’un mauvais jeu d’action et d’une histoire qui se perd en cours de route et dont la conclusion nous prend pour des jambons (quelle fin de merde et quel épilogue… de merde !).

    Si le jeu est certes beau, il ne tourne qu’à 30 im/s sur Series X (!) et reste victime de ralentissements. Mais il a beau essayer d’en mettre plein la vue, nous ne sommes pas dupe : ce n’est que poudre aux yeux et pure prétention de développeurs prétentieux ! un échec et une déception de taille donc pour un jeu très pénible du début à la fin. En définitive, une putain de grosse merde !    … Expand

    RDR2 still looks far better and it has open world + better optimization. The same with Horizon Forbidden West, Miles Morales etc. Game is unoptimized crap. Even on my RTX 3080 it can't run stable 60fps at 1440p lol. 30fps for Series X and PS5 at 1440p is a big joker.

    Poor graphics and poor optimization for next-gen console (30fps and not even 4k). As soon as you move, the graphics get ugly

    This game could have been good but 30fps ruins it and makes it feel like an old game.

    Very poor performance for a next gen console, Game runs at 30 fps, really hurts the eyes, especially with motion blur enabled. totally **** for a new next-gen game.

    Combine greedy publisher and lazy developers and puff, you'll get A Plague Tale: Requiem. Defective game with terrible optimization and no 60fps mode, as this would require from devs more time to make and make necessary optimizations. Console versions of APT:R is spitting in the faces of consumers and telling us it's raining.

    This second part of A Plaques Tale shows that it is better to close the book for good. There will undoubtedly be a third part, but is that really necessary? Requiem excels with unprecedented environmental graphics. It is wonderful to see how the views come to life through the realistic world building.

There will undoubtedly be a third part, but is that really necessary? Requiem excels with unprecedented environmental graphics. It is wonderful to see how the views come to life through the realistic world building. At the same time, it doesn't do anything new in terms of gameplay. If you played part 1, you have also played part two. You can expect some minor tweaks but it's no more than that. Then one thing remains; the story. It feels like a hit or miss. For me personally it was an absolute disaster. None of the emotional bond between siblings came through due to the terrible voice acting, poor lip-sync and unrealistic approach to the conclusion. It's all a bit too far fetched and overdone. Hugo is the personification of this game. He feels more like a burden than the brother you want to give everything for. Maybe literally because you have to hold his hand and comfort him the whole game long. For now it's finally time to let go.

    Pros:
    - Enviromental design and graphics

    Cons:
    - Voice acting
    - Minor additions in gameplay mechanics
    - Hugo
    - Story (for me personally)    … Expand

    A Plague Tale: Requiem develops the strengths of the first chapter to the full, to create a cinematically cut, emotionally charged adventure with satisfying stealth mechanics, action, puzzles, memorable characters, heart-pounding sequences and lots and lots of rats.

    Sequels are hard. Team Asobo has managed to make a more compelling world with even more compelling characters and wrapped it in a gorgeous bow. There are issues for sure. The game doesn’t innovate nearly enough and performance on next-gen consoles is disappointing, but this game continues to prove that this team of developers is extremely talented. I hope we continue to see them flourish and create new experiences. A Plague Tale: Requiem is a truly exceptional experience that everyone should check out. It is on Game Pass so the barrier to entry is lighter. Definitely give it a shot.

    No game is perfect, but A Plague Tale: Requiem is everything I could have asked for in a sequel. It refines and improves on all of the issues I had with Innocence, creating a game that doesn’t feel all that different, but simply feels far better. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the team at Asobo Studio evolved it instead, making a far better version of an already good game with a refined version of the same formula. Anyone who remotely enjoyed the original needs to check it out.
