    Net of some technical problems, A Plague Tale: Requiem has an excellent artistic sector and a solid and improved gameplay compared to its predecessor. At the narrative level we are faced with an engaging and heartbreaking story. I'll miss Hugo and Amicia.

    Graphics and voice actig are outstanding. But that´s all. Story is boring and too long. First Part Inocennce was much more interesting.

    In terms of a sequel, it's near-perfect. They add just enough to make the gameplay feel fresh, but it left me disappointed in some fronts. Stealth wasn't very good in the 1st game, and I feel like it may be even worse here. It's not game-breaking, but it's noticeable.

They add just enough to make the gameplay feel fresh, but it left me disappointed in some fronts. Stealth wasn't very good in the 1st game, and I feel like it may be even worse here. 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

A gampley é péssima e repetitiva, o jogo muitas vezes te obriga a ser stealth, e caso você falhe nisso é praticamente obrigado a se matar, e isso gera vários momentos toscos. Além disso, a inteligência artificial dos NPCs é horrível, isso acaba atrapalhando mais ainda.

    No fim das contas deve ser um bom jogo, mas o problema é exatamente esse: eu não tenho certeza. Não joguei o primeiro jogo e o segundo não se preocupou em me mostrar nem mesmo um resumo.    … Expand

    A Plague Tale is the kind of game that you must play.

    Everything is excellent here: its story, graphics, and characters' personality... everything. The only opportunity area that I found was the camera presents a lot of problems and, in a lot of moments, is very annoying to play. Why didn't I score a 10? Because, even though this game is GREAT, you will never say, "WOW!". But, in    A Plague Tale is the kind of game that you must play.

    In the end, and only as a personal note, adding some fan service with the protagonist could help give her the immortality she deserves. Controversies always help to immortalize stories and characters. But, because all in A Plague Tale is 100% politically correct, sadly, Amicia will be forgotten over the years.    … Expand

    Me parece un gran juego, en un mundo los sandbox estás más que sentados, este tipo de juegos le da frescura al mundillo.
    Un partado técnico de escándalo, mejoras de habilidad automáticas dependiendo de tus acciones, mejoras de armas en mesas de trabajo, y en general la historia de 10, su primera parte fué más que acertada y esta segunda es la guinda del pastél!.. muy bien

    Pure despair and hopelessness move your heart. But the gameplay is not very various. You must just walk and listen to dialogues at lots of part. The first 1/5 is just dull so that you might give up continuing the rest. In conclusion, the story is great.

    This game has beautiful graphics and an impressive story that surpass lots of other games. Combat feels great and fluid. This game looks great in any way you want to see it. You can really connect with all the characters since they are all really expressive and warm.

    I’m not crying, you’re crying! This is a love letter to humanity, our shared history, and our great potential for love and hatred. A Plague Tale Requiem is as brutal and grotesque as it is gripping and beautiful. 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, butI’m not crying, you’re crying! This is a love letter to humanity, our shared history, and our great potential for love and hatred. A Plague Tale Requiem is as brutal and grotesque as it is gripping and beautiful. 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.
    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

    A Plague Tale: Innocence was a much better game. In this game, the story is not as interesting or compelling, the gameplay doesn’t change a whole lot so you’ll be doing the same general things as the first game, so not many surprises. You’ll find yourself pushing crates around, lighting things on fire or putting fire out so solve puzzles but it is just not fun.

    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.
