In terms of gameplay, the developer has not reinvented the wheel in this regard, being very similar to the previous title, but with some new elements. Here, Amicia is no longer a defenseless girl, and has some new mechanics to defend herself more violently and actively. There is a noteworthy addition to the exploration element that allows the player to explore and find things that help tell the story or even add collectibles.… Expand

    Lo único a mejorar desde mi punto de vista son los 30fps en consolas, ya que con una optimización mejor, fácilmente se llegaría a los 60.
    Buena historia, el final no me lo esperaba.

    The story of the game was able to revive and also complete the legacy left by the first part, and presented a very excellent story with a well built narrative, to say the least, despite the plot twist in the end, which succeeded in making us hate the game in a way. proving how connected we've gotten to the characters and the story as a whole, in the same way we felt towards second games with the same style as The Walking Dead and Life is Strange.
    The game is the same as the first part, but with a greater expansion and much more freedom in a world that has lost the hope of a calm life. The game also gave us more freedom in playing as Amicia, and unlike the previous part, we were able to attack and defend and also repel the attacks of the enemies, and of course this is due to the removal some restrictions that were caused by Hugo's companionship, which resulted in a much more diverse and expansive gameplay. The graphics are perfect, and their beauty increases the cinematography of the game, which makes the player feel that they're living a movie rather than playing a game. The development of the characters is written very smoothly and presented in an elegant style throughout the game, and I personally liked the development of the character of Hugo, who had an increased sense of responsibility towards his small family throughout the course of the story, which ends with the great sacrifice, in order to save them and also liberate them from the restrictions of his protection, even though I hated him Somehow in the events of the first part.
    The puzzles became more diverse than those in the last part, and this is good in my opinion, because it is better than just a game in which we just move forward and let the course of the narrative do the rest, but I also do not like repeating some of them, but nevertheless there was no big repetition because it was only in the first chapter that was introductory.
    The game, in my opinion, deserves to be among the candidates for the game of the year award, even if it does not win, but I know that it will not take enough credit, especially in front of the two great God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring, who represent to many people the epitome of the story-driven games, but if it is up to me, A Plague Tale Requiem is my GOTY.
    This game takes a solid 9.5/10.    … Expand

    Grand jeu ! Quelle maîtrise, l'ambiance, le scénario, le doublage, le jeu d'acteur des personnages principaux, la DA, les graphismes et l'OST c'est un sans-faute.

    Peut-être un gameplay un poil trop pauvre et une performance pas totalement maîtrisée (c'est pas injouable non plus), mais clairement il a tant de grandes qualités qu'on peut passer outre

    A Plague Tale: Innocence was one of 2019's biggest surprises mainly because it was a great game from a small studio with a team of 40 people working under a small budget.

    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

    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.
    Plague tale requiem is a story of love, and the constant fight to keep the feeling pure and destroy anything that might break it. The established bond once built, must stay strong and intact no matter the cost.    … Expand

    This is an awkward one to review, my initial experience was good the opening few hours are as delightful and in many ways improved from the original experience. Whilst its combat is still clunky, the visuals, world building and character design had all been much improved. So why have I scored it so low.

Whilst its combat is still clunky, the visuals, world building and character design had all been much improved. So why have I scored it so low.

    Well the thing that made 'Innocence' more than the sum of its parts was that it knew its strengths and kept a keen focus on the central narrative. The central narrative of Requiem is easy enough to understand but riddled with so much Deus Ex Machina that it really starts to stray onto the side of ridiculousness that the first game only flirted with. Amecia, who I loved in the first game, is now essentially a moron, and something that will occur to you the player takes a lot longer for it to dawn on her. Whilst you could explain her reasons as love for her brother, that only goes so far to cover the actions of someone who has essentially become a self righteous murderer.

    So what starts out well ends with 2 very unlikeable characters, an overused clunky combat system, and ultimately an ending that makes much of what you've been doing for 2 games completely pointless. The game still has merits as the world is beautiful and it's not necessarily a bad game, just not a particularly good one.    … Expand

    Apart from some technical issues/bugs which can be fixed, this one is a great story telling game. It really is something else and you can really attach to the characters in it. Although, sometimes grandiloquence sneaks in too much in this game but overall it’s awesome! If you liked Plague Tale Innocence then that one is a must play.

    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.
