    Considerably longer than the first, it has good gameplay and a good story. The technical problems (30 fps) are minor when compared to its graphical benefits and a fairly well-built world.

    Bravo Asobo Studios pour ce jeu magnifique avec une histoire forte, des personnages bien écrit, une DA remarquable, un sound design et une bande originale incroyable de justesse et qui soutient les moindres de jeu.

    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

    I finished the game today :)
    It is a very good surprise.
    I loved the 2 main characters (Amicia & Hugo) and their friends. The story and the adventure they go through is crazy & amazing. It is quite a long time I didnt see such an unusual and interesting story. I think the landscapes we go through during the game will stay quite a long time in my gamer memory :) [ I played on xbox    I finished the game today :)

    A Plague Tale: Requiem is a wholesome story-driven game that I would recommend to anyone who is into a good, fun story.

    I played on Series X and it was 95% and after I've been spoiled to 60fps, I did not expect the game to feel so smooth playing at 40fps. While playing, the game froze twice, but very shortly and not needing a restart. Overall, great performance.

    What's great:
    -Story- Obviously, it does not let down, the progression feel natural and the dialogue is written perfectly. Game kept me glued to my XSX.
    -Gameplay- I'm never sure just how to rate gameplay for story-driven games, since it matters less (at least for me). In this case, I think the developers added just enough new features from the previous instalment for the game to feel fresh(ish) and fun, so good job here.
    -Visuals- WOW! Just WOW! First real current-gen game!
    -Audio- Voice acting is top notch, makes everything so believable and the bond between Amicia and Hugo feel real.

    Only problem I have is Requiem felt shorter than the Innocence (or maybe that's just me).    … Expand

    Engaging story, awesome storytelling. Playing this game is a pleasure.
    Yes, there is only 30 fps mode and personally I do not understand why wasn't it possible to add performance mode even by just incorporating FSR (which is not that hard to integrate).
    But same story was with 1st game, and graphics is so beautiful, that I can live without 60 fps. Moreover it's more of a story game, not    Engaging story, awesome storytelling. Playing this game is a pleasure.

    "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.
