    Uma obra prima! Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei! O desenvolvimento dos personagens com relação ao primeiro jogo, as reviravoltas, uma ótima história que daria um ótimo filme. Simplesmente o primeiro jogo que me fez chorar com o final

    Pre-ordered and I was extremely happy that there were absolutely no bugs or glitches
    The soundtrack is equally cool and gloomy
    I liked that you can also play with the brother.
    What I didn't like or bothered me was the ending, I think they could have saved it somehow. But no, after all they are the creators of games and we are the players and we have to be satisfied with what they offer us. Anyway, I recommend it wholeheartedly and at the same time I recommend you to buy it. Worth every penny.    … Expand

Graphically its beautiful and darkly ominous in equal measure. The difficulty curve is consistent - there are bits that take a fair few goes to get past and at times can be a bit frustrating - but the pay off and feeling of achievement when you get past multiple attackers or a challenging puzzle is worth it. There are some great walkthrough guides if you get stuck! I wasn't expecting to enjoy this game as much as I have, you'll need a little patience to get going and through the first chapter or two and then the game just hooks you! I reckon it took me about 20 hours to play through to the end - I didn't find everything or upgrade everything along the way but still got to the end! For me this game sets a benchmark for role playing games in the current generation of consoles.… Expand

There are 17 chapters, 20+ hours of gameplay, where the player constantly learns new gameplay mechanics that don't let the game get boring. Locations are varied and very well designed. The game just lacks better developed boss battles and the little need to manage items, as they are always available in the scenario, and for not bringing anything really original in terms of gameplay. Extras appear in the form of secrets, collectibles and a very good photo mode, which gives the player even more freedom to appreciate the design of levels and characters.… 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

    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.

    Je suis agréablement surpris par cette suite de A plague Tale. Le scénario est plus noir, les graphismes et la direction artistique est de toute beauté. Je pense qu'Asobo a un très bel avenir devant lui. La bande son est incroyable. Vous faites sans aucun doute partie des plus grands studios.

    Bravo !

    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 worthy sequel to the first game.
    the gameplay is nice but they could have added more weapons and more freedom of action and the basic resources more accessible! I HOPE SO MUCH FOR A THIRD GAME IN THE FUTURE!

    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.
