    I went into Requiem not expecting much. After 17 hours of gameplay over 8 days, I walk away with one of my favorite games of all time. I absolutely cannot recommend this game enough, and if you already played it, I recommend playing through it again with the New Game+ feature. The story is gripping and compelling, the gameplay is fun and rewarding, and the characters feel fleshed out. II went into Requiem not expecting much.

    Fantastic game, took me a bit by surprise. It's a mix of horror and stealth which works really great.

    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

    A worthy sequel. Everything about this game is just amazing : atmosphere, narrative, sound design, gameplay & visuals.

    For those new to the series I would highly recommend to play the first masterpiece, A Plague's Tale Innocence, before jumping into this new masterpiece.

    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.

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

    Story 12/10.
    Shame no 60fps mode, but the 40 does make a nice improvement and option.

    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.
