    I've been playing video games for 40+ years. This is one of the best games I've ever played in that time. Zelda-esque at times but darker.

This is one of the best games I've ever played in that time. Zelda-esque at times but darker. The storyline is compelling, the character acting is excellent. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very, very good sequel.
    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

    A narrative masterpiece that keeps you glued to the screen from start to finish. A simple and intuitive gameplay that can challenge you. Graphic and artistic sector, nothing short of crazy.

    This game is actually amazing and well worthy sequel to the original "Innocence". Its very rare that a second addition lives up to the 1st but in this case it definitely does. The writers really outdone themselves with more of a unique story instead of allot of other games where everything can always be predicted with the "stick to what works approach".

    The map design is great and the core mechanics have seen nice improvements over the 1st game. The hole team really came together with the title and that shows in the result. Can't wait to see whats next in store!    … Expand

    I just finished the game, it really is one of the best games of the generation so far. The truth is that the game duo is excellent, the improvements they made to this game were incredible.

    The story is simply magnificent, you get attached to all the characters that appear and suffer with them. Amicia's thoughts/feelings rub off on the player in a way I've never seen a game do that.    I just finished the game, it really is one of the best games of the generation so far.

    About combat, I believe they play a good role, demonstrating Amicia's fragility and at the same time her dexterity. Makes the game "real" in my view.
    Stealth has some issues, but much better than many games I've played. It's a little hard to get used to, I think the difficulty progression was a little complex for those who don't "remember" the last game well. Stealth is slightly easier when you know how to use Amicia's tools correctly, but still with its difficulties of carrying only 2 arrows and the stone making a lot of noise. Anyway, just like in other games, you can go full rush burning the bush along with the enemies, exploding the pots with fire, throwing rats and so on.    … Expand

    I would recommend this game to anyone who loves linear story driven games, stealth with attacking the enemies from distance with several instruments, puzzles, beautiful soundtrack and breath taking landscapes. What made me love this masterpiece so much is that Asobo Studios manage to balance all of these out so they complement each other. While I am having a great time during gameplay I am looking at these wonderfull places, when there is a touching scene an even more heartbreaking song is playing in the    … Expand

    Game well achieved graphically, with good music, emotional story, good gameplay.
    However, I consider that the level of difficulty could be a little low, for example, there are levels where it would have been ideal to play them against the clock and there are puzzles that are very easy to solve.

    El Goty verdadero del 2022, Juego que me pase hace unos meses . Una grandisima 2 parte , que mejora en todo el anterior juego que ya era increible , una historia super bien contada , que consigue que no pares de jugar porque quieres saber mas . Graficamente lo mejor del 22 sin duda a nivel de detalles pocos estan a la altura . La jugabilidad es un poco mas de lo mismo con nuevas cosas y mejoradas.

    A respectable sequel to the first entry. The classic rat puzzles and stealth sections make a return, as expected, although I wish they had thrown in a tad more variety in. It’s essentially the same exact concept as the first game. That aside, I appreciate the addition of the crossbow and the elemental abilities you can put on the arrows. The pocket knives are satisfying to use as well.A respectable sequel to the first entry.

Looks stunning on the Series X, and while some are upset it can’t hit 60+fps, I still found the game relatively smooth with the frame rate around 40 or so.

    My only major complaint with this game is that some sections feel like a total slog with Amicia moving at a snails pace. I know this game isn’t meant to be high octane chaotic action at all times, but I can’t help but get bored when the game turns into a walking simulator for 20+mins before some action happens again. That being said I still had an overall good time. Unforgettable story and characters with competent gameplay to boot.    … Expand

Also, seeing the same enemy faces throughout half of the game was very irritating. It felt like there were only 5 enemy models. Furthermore, there were bugs, like when your brother (your partner) got stuck in a texture and you couldn't move forward. The implementation of the game theme was very poor, with minimal variety.… Expand

    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.
