I really wish I could leave a mixed review, but I figured that my purchase already supports the developers, so my review should be negative to reflect my mixed opinion. I think Requiem is a decent game by itself, the issue is that it's a sequel to a no less than a great game, Innocence, and it fails to live up to it. Whilst cohesively reworking the systems, for some reason dodging is completely removed from the game …

ABSOLUTE CINEMA. I don't even know where to begin. This isn't just one of the best games I've ever played—it's one of the best stories I've ever experienced in any form of media. Movies, TV shows, books... A Plague Tale: Requiem stands shoulder to shoulder with all of them. The journey of Amicia and Hugo completely consumed me. Every chapter somehow managed to outdo the last, and by the time I reached the ending, I …

I came into A Plague Tale: Requiem expecting stealth, sadness, and some rats. What I got instead was emotional damage, top-tier voice acting, and approximately twelve billion rats with PhDs in murder. This game looks unfairly good. Like, “why does this random sunset look better than my entire life” good. Every area feels handcrafted, every ruin tells a story, and every quiet moment is just the game taking a deep …

Before this game, the best story I had ever played was TLOU2, but this is better. After finishing it, I hugged my son, kissed my wife, and thought about my life for some hours. Gameplay and graphics are awesome.

Their journey takes them through wartorn villages, beautiful landscapes, many many swarms of rats and some genuinely…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Since I loved the first one, I bought this expecting it to be even better. Unfortunately, this one is pretty disappointing from the start. The graphics are better and that's about it. The gameplay feels like a tedious walking simulator. Even though I haven't finished it yet, I can already tell what's going to happen in the end because it's so predictable from the very beginning. What really killed my desire to keep playing is how you constantly move from one section to another where literally…

negative · AI labelView post →9.6/10 The most dystopian and anti-heroic game I've played this year. An ever-present sense of despair, helplessness, powerlessness, and nihilism—like a bottomless abyss that suffocates you, especially in the latter stages of the story. Personally, I believe this work is fundamentally dark, its core pessimistic and negative. If Innocence told a survival tale filled with suffering yet still carrying a glimmer of hope, then Requiem utterly extinguishes that faint light of hope. It presents the…

Unfortunately many of the small but forgivable annoyances from the first game and still present here- getting killed by rats because you stepped one centimeter in the wrong direction being the big one. Others are the combat is ramped up (with most enemies now wearing headgear) but it just doesn't feel good at all. The progression in this game feels heavily forced and locked behind completing chapters. I started to…

What a game, filled with great action, platforming, fantastic voice/capture performance and a story that pulls on every heart string. Combats super serviceable and fine for its run time and variety. Amazing soundtrack. 9.5 from me.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Plague Tale: Requiem. I feel like this game is finally clicking. Struggled with the first half of the game as I found the stealth quite infuriating but with some more tools and abilities unlocked it’s becoming a better experience. I’m invested in the story.

neutral · AI labelView post →I loved the first game (Innocence) and had high hopes for Requiem. Innocence had solid gameplay, mechanics and puzzles that fit the game and made sense, and an excellent narrative. Requiem changed a lot of things, all of them for the worse. It’s not a worthy sequel, it’s not well-designed, and the narrative in this story-rich game is absolute garbage. Gameplay: The game is very buggy. Rats will come out of nowhere to eat you. Rats will run into the light after you and eat you. Rats will form…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love Plague Tale : Innocence. It's an amazing game and I really wanted to like Requiem as well. Visually, Requiem is stunning, it's one of the most beautiful 3D games I've played, especially when it comes to environments. There are also a couple of chase sequences that are very exciting. The sound (sound effects, music, voiceover, the overall mix) is also superb. Other than that, I was disappointed with Requiem. The writing is just objectively sloppy. There's barely any character…

That game had me hooked from start to finish — the atmosphere, the subtle storytelling, and especially the bond between Amicia and Hugo felt natural and genuinely earned. So I was really looking forward to Requiem. To give credit where it’s due, the game is visually stunning. The environments are beautiful, the scale is far larger than the first game, and the overall atmosphere can be incredible at times. There are moments…

neutral · AI labelView post →Finally wrapped up this game two days ago so it's time to share my short thoughts about this game. First off the gameplay is absolutely amazing than the first game. Skill upgrades progresses based on what you do in the game whether it be doing a ton of stealth or being an offensive slinger. No skill points needed. Upgrades on slings, alchemy and etc. way better than before and makes my progression on the story and stealth sections smoother. Stealth sections gave me tons of options to deal with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After beating the first plague tale game, I was pretty excited to snag the second one and get to continue the story, but when I say this is the Game of Thrones of video games, I mean it. I don’t know how they managed to ruin such a phenomenal story but it was certainly done. It felt like everything from the first game suddenly didn’t matter anymore, down to the way certain characters respond to situations and the outcome of the story made everything feel like a waste of time. All that is hard…

It's one of the best looking games to ever release and has satisfying gameplay. Solving puzzles with lights and killing or avoiding guards is always fun. There are some longer unskippable story segments with just characters talking so if you're someone with no patience then you may get annoyed with that. I loved every minute completing…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Although it doesn't have the charm of the first game, this sequel is an improvement in every way. Stealth and combat seem more refined, graphics and sound also evolved positively, and the story is much more mature. it's a masterful conclusion to the De Rune story and I can't recommend enough to any player looking for a strong story-driven narrative game with great character arcs.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Overall: Absolutely not as good as Innocence. Visually striking but lacking significantly in gameplay and emotional appeal. This game is significantly less compelling than the first. The linearity of the first game has been exchanged with more open level designs, allowing you to take your own path to the goal. This doesn't work, however, paired with idiotic enemy AI and ridiculous lines-of-sight, and plenty of times ends up with the player completing the section without actually using any…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First playthrough review time. A Plague Tale: Requiem builds on the first game in many ways. I played the first game about a year and four months ago, but it was still easy to get back into this sequel. The gameplay mixes stealth, combat, exploration, and puzzles well, and the larger areas give more freedom to choose how to move forward. Exploring side paths is also useful because the extra resources help with upgrades later in the game. The difficulty is fair, and most sections become easier…

Right away, the most striking thing is how massive the evolution is compared to Innocence. This feels like a true sequel in every sense. Everything has been improved, refined, and expanded. It’s not just “more of the same”, it’s a clear upgrade across the board. Visually, the game is absolutely stunning. The graphics are a real step up,…
