    Considerably longer than the first, it has good gameplay and a good story. The technical problems (30 fps) are minor when compared to its graphical benefits and a fairly well-built world.

    incredible graphics, absolutely one of the best looking games of this generation, amazing story that keeps you on the edge of your seat, the voice actors also made a phenomenal job that made the game even more immersive, it turns to pure survival horror with an outstanding atmosphere and gruesome environments. this is easily 10/10

    I finished the game today :)
    It is a very good surprise.
    I loved the 2 main characters (Amicia & Hugo) and their friends. The story and the adventure they go through is crazy & amazing. It is quite a long time I didnt see such an unusual and interesting story.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a wholesome story-driven game that I would recommend to anyone who is into a good, fun story.

    I played on Series X and it was 95% and after I've been spoiled to 60fps, I did not expect the game to feel so smooth playing at 40fps. While playing, the game froze twice, but very shortly and not needing a restart. Overall, great performance.

    What's great:
    -Story- Obviously, it does not let down, the progression feel natural and the dialogue is written perfectly. Game kept me glued to my XSX.
    -Gameplay- I'm never sure just how to rate gameplay for story-driven games, since it matters less (at least for me). In this case, I think the developers added just enough new features from the previous instalment for the game to feel fresh(ish) and fun, so good job here.
    -Visuals- WOW! Just WOW! First real current-gen game!
    -Audio- Voice acting is top notch, makes everything so believable and the bond between Amicia and Hugo feel real.

    Only problem I have is Requiem felt shorter than the Innocence (or maybe that's just me).    … Expand

    Enter 2022, Asobo Studio's team has grown with a bigger budget but I was not prepared for the sheer spectacle that awaited me.

    In every category Requeim is not only an upgrade to its predecessors but it rivals the greatest narrative experiences out there.

    Visually it's stunning starting from vast landscapes to festive markets to the open sea. The architecture of the middle age buildings are detailed and gorgeous. The level designs were exceptional!

    The soundtrack is sometimes haunting, other times emotional or festive and at all times fitting for the atmosphere. The voice acting is incredible! Charlotte McBurney deserves all the accolades for her role as Amicia. The way her voice shakes or quivers in moments of turmoil or desperation makes you feel her pain and trauma in your bones.

    The gameplay is excellent. It's still a stealth game at its heart given the relatively fragile nature of the protagonist but this time you have more options in your arsenal to fight back. Amicia is tougher than ever!

    The story is emotional. It's deeply moving. It's one of the few video games that made me shed tears. The bond between the siblings and their companions will keep you engaged or stay on your toes from start to finish.

    Performance-wise I've only faced two noticeable stutters (for a total of less than 2 seconds combined) and by the time you're reading this they might be gone entirely. The smaller AA budget of the studio is only noticeable in facial animations. There were no major bugs and whatever minor bugs that doea exist, I didn't experience them or did not affect my enjoyment of the game.

    I expected a great time when I started playing. What I did not expect was to be hit with emotions that will stay with me for years to come.

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a masterpiece. It is a modern day classic and I look forward to see what Asobo Studio does next because the future seems limitless!    … Expand

    One of the best and most visually striking games I have ever played. Really immersive experience, awesome character performances, faces look REAL and the eyes look perfect... Can't say much more other than THANK YOU for the incredible story, completing it left a permanent mark on my memory. 9/10 cause it's a 30fps game.

It's not a perfect game though, a couple issues I had were: although the graphics are amazing, the animations in the faces do not match the depth in which the emotion and passion of the voice acting and writing are able to reach. There is so much power behind many of the performances but unfortunately often times their faces will appear blank or barren, which at times, rips you out of the intensity of the scene. My next two biggest issues actually tie together quite well. There are far too many forced walking sections, hey! You know what? I don't mind a good walking moment, especially when the acting is as good as it is here. But, there're just too many and too close together, that it would get annoying at times. Which is one of the reasons why it's a perfect segue into how I think it... well, it over stays its welcome. Not by much mind you! But towards the end wanted it to wrap up. I was still enjoying myself and heavily invested in the story, I had just found myself wishing that it got there a little sooner (granted, I was taking my time and looking for every collectible, so I know that my feelings on that might have changed if I was just following the path with no deviation). But still, even with that, it should have ended maybe an hour, at most two hours sooner. I didn't want them to cut anything from the story itself, because it really is so good! But there was bloated moments or even animations that I knew shouldn't take so long and it all just added up to a longer run time when it didn't need to. So those are my complaints. My praise for this game is so high that I'll keep it short. The acting is breath taking most of the time, the writing is fantastic! The gameplay is a lot more involved and evolved then the first title. It is a heck of a lot of fun to play and it's jaw dropping to look at and experience. You need to play this one! Especially on game pass, you have no right not playing this if you have game pass. I personally think it's worth full price but... it is a must play and falls in my top games of 2022. Although, I won't say why but there are 17 chapters and I strongly believe it should've ended after 16, it was the perfect ending in my opinion.… Expand

It's not game-breaking, but it's noticeable.

    Also; graphically. It comes across as quite muddy. The 30fps doesn't help, but the visuals overall were really bothering me at the start. There were moments where it looked genuinely fantastic if I stood still. But the second movement starts happening, it all looks so blurry and muddy. It was taking me out of the experience quite a bit. Tweaking the settings did help a lot for me. Turning off motion blur was good, and this game puzzlingly has something called "chromatic aberration" turned on. When turning this off it also makes the game appear far less muddy. These two settings turned off helped the visuals quite a lot for me. To the point that I was able to look past the 30fps in no time.

    Overall the characters in this game are far more likable and believable for the most part. The voice acting seems better, and even characters that annoyed me massively in the first game leave a mostly positive mark this time around.

    It's a good time and another relatively unique & fun experience, much like Innocence.    … Expand

I found myself staying up late, and waking up early because I longed to know what happened next. It’s not often I feel a true connection to characters in video games, but everything this game does makes it impossible not to love and hate them like family.

    It’s visually stunning (a couple cutscenes had floating bolts or the like), and perhaps the best stealth game I’ve ever played. It’s certainly not perfect; there were several instances where my character died or was discovered but some how the game decided to spawn me as if I completed the section or boss. By no means did it feel like the game goes easy on you though. The writing, voice acting, and music are great. Wear a decent pair of headphones for an immersive experience, the atmospheric audio really adds to gameplay in a dramatic way. You’re a part of their journey, and I was literally on the edge of my seat. I’m not being overly praiseful, read my other reviews (I’m hard to please). This game makes me optimistic for the future of gaming and western storytelling. They were right on the edge of pushing the “strong independent woman” cliche in at one point, but quickly shifts towards telling the real story about an authentic heroine. If you know your history you will love the subtle and bold ways they link the story to true historical events, people; and perhaps even gives our ancestors a break in regard to their potential for complex interpretations of our world. 10/10 Will replay in the future and still cry. - Grown ass man that kills his own food.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Plague Tale: Requiem, a journey of misfortune. Amicia and Hugo try to escape a fate of despair, but no matter how hard they try, and how much they think they learn, the curse is always there, one step ahead. We find our protagonists, hurt, in constant disbelief and stubbornness as well. The story shows the power of a strong bond of love and what can it achieve and sacrifice in the process. how much it will hurt, in order to save the one you love. The game achieves to improve upon the relationships it built in the first game, and you get yourself immersed and really wanting the two siblings to find a way to prosperity, but such is life, and the results in the end might not be the ones you hoped for. It provides further information about the macula, the prior holders, and the systems used against them.
    The game really succeeds in making you care and feel the pain the protagonists share, but it lacks creativity in dialog, by repeating themselves ruining sometimes the tension they have built. There are moments were you cant help yourself but laugh of how ridiculous something might sound, but even though these moments are sour, there are real sweet moments between the siblings to rebuild the atmosphere. Some moments are very predictable, but at least serve a good purpose. The new characters alongside with the old ones are interesting, and rich in character.
    Gameplay. It is really straight forward, similar to the first game but it adds some new mechanics, it gets quite repetitive after some time and the stealth options have the same character. It is not bad but its not the strongest part of the game. There are some simple puzzles to proceed to the next area, these sections were quite interesting, but also not complex enough. More of these puzzles instead of plain stealth sections would be a better choice, especially where there is a lot room for opportunities.
    (SPOILER!!!) Closure. The game after introducing some companions and their fate, reaches its climax. You are met with a difficult decision, but you are still meant to act. The game closes with three back to back really powerful scenes leaving you speechless and hurt. By the end, it promises a continuation to the story, and perhaps with different set of characters in another timeline.
    (END OF SPOILER)

    Plague tale innocence is a story of building connections and family, reaching love and pure bliss inside of chaos and overcoming difficulties in the prosses of establishing new found love.

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.
