    Great Game, the story line is awesome and engaging, even when can be frustrating sometimes. The characters are great, especially Hugo and Amicia that now have more interaction.

    I feel so bad for not hearing about or knowing the first game until last year, I played it and OMG it was insanely good in every aspect, maybe a bit short on the weapons but it was paced very well, this new entry improves upon its predecessor in terms of graphics first and foremost, the game is now STUNNING I sometimes just stop and stare, I took so many screenshots with photo mode. storyI feel so bad for not hearing about or knowing the first game until last year, I played it and OMG it was insanely good in every aspect, maybe a bit short on the weapons but it was paced very well, this new entry improves upon its predecessor in terms of graphics first and foremost, the game is now STUNNING I sometimes just stop and stare, I took so many screenshots with photo mode. story is god tier, mechanics are god tier and relationship between Amicia and hugo is very interesting but what's more interesting is Amicia character development towards the middle and the end of the game, this is easily on my top 10 fav games of all time… Expand

    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

    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.

    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.

    Grande jogo, Boa História (embora o cheiro da lacração paire pela história em alguns momentos não afeta ela), Trilha sonora espetacular, o melhor gráfico da atual geração para mim, o jogo foi realmente uma boa evolução em relação ao jogo anterior, que pese a questão da performance, mas nenhuma dessas criticas tiram o brilho do jogo.

    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.

    I see negative reactions from the fans due to the fact that this game is locked at 30fps. I found the game to run fluid, the framerate did not even cross my mind until I read the reviews on Metacritic.

    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.

    "Annoying Kid Shouting Amicia!"-Simulator in its second iteration. Terrible frame rate issues on especially Xbox X (not up to what you'd expect) + A strong narrative with great voice acting (sans aforementioned annoying kid) - with gameplay hampered by the same old and trodden mechanics that were part 1's weakness - along a hefty difficulty curve, as was the case in Part 1.

    The gameplay mechanics did not change from the first iteration, in all that's bad and good about them - they are repetitive "escape the rats with casting light on stuff" riddles that become increasingly complex. The graphics are the high part of the second showing, as is the voice acting.

    And yes, Hugo still has the same annoying kid voice as in the first part. Amicia is playing the role of tough strong female and has some new tricks up her sleeve - but many of the old mechanics are regurgitated ad nauseam. You'll find yourself looking desparately for what the devs must have thought obvious places to advance in a room (hint: most of them are not obvious) - voice cues should give hints but some are confusing even more as to what the solution might be.

    That said, it's a strong story with a mystical element as to what the sickness really is - and how to get rid of it and a strong narrative is presented throughout the same stale gameplay mechanics that were making the first part frustrating for many, me included.    … Expand

Next gameplay, it’s still kinda a walking simulator mixed with a stealth combat game, it has a few puzzles you might find hard but personally I beat them all relatively quick. Next story, the story is/will be ESSENTIAL if a third game comes out but I did like the middle of the game more than the beginning or the Finish, the beginning just felt a little boring but that’s ok because once you get passed it the middle is great, the Finish I found to be quite predictable and I was hoping it would end differently because it was to obvious what was going to happen.

    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.
