A Plague Tale: Requiem

I bought Innocence last year and completed it, but i felt wanting for more. And this year lo and behold the sequel released. Much like in the tomb raider trilogy reboot, you can feel Amicia's innocence (because she's not a battle-hardened warrior), in the weapons she has at her disposal - a sling- much like Lara in the 1st part of the tomb raider trilogy, but in the sequel, again, much like Lara, Amicia toughenes up, in the sense that she's more aware of what she's up against, she has a more powerful arsenal at her disposal, compared to the first game. The game portrays to the user the best way it can thanks to its developers and the sheer amount of research that went into making it, the 14th century grim atmosphere brought on by the 100-year war (not literally 100 years but that is what it is, shall i say, known for).

Mind you Amicia's 2nd adventure is not about the 100-year war - though it is set in the midst of it- it's a fictionalized one, where rats take center stage, again, only this time their numbers are much greater. If the 1st game had a mere 5000 of them, the sequel has 60x that much. I've been a gamer since 1998, but this is the only game that i have ever played where at some point i found myself shedding a tear for the main character and her companions, this is how intense the atmosphere in the game becomes as the story progresses, couple that with the musical score, especially at the main menu.

In some ways Amicia is a lot like Lara, and there are some similarities between the games, except for the rats. I feel there's no need to elaborate on them, you have to play the games in order to understand. I admit i got this sequel by means of utorrent, but it impressed me so much, much more than the first one, that i feel the developers deserve my hard-earned cash and i am going to buy it. If the sales are great, then a 3rd sequel may be in the works at some point because the game definitely leaves room for a third installment, which i am looking forward to.

This game along with the score is so emotionally charged, i hope it wins game of the year award. It's the best game i have played since valhalla back in 2020. Innocence is a good game too only requiem improves on its predecessor and it shows in the graphics, Amicia's weapons and her determination (which in Requiem is a lot stronger than in Innocence) to kill whatever stands in her way. The idea behind this franchise has lots of potential and promises a lot in terms of storyline.

One more thing, is it me or some pieces of the score slightly resemble the score from Joan of Arc video game made back in 2004 i think ?

All i can say is if you like this game, enjoy Amicia's 2nd highly-charged emotional adventure through the dark, grim, medieval 14th century France, once again.

Must say I mostly enjoyed the experience, a few minor glitches here and there, but it didn't bother me.

A girl a sister, who is protecting her brother no matter what, she won't abandon her brother although he is sick, and because of that he is loosing control over his powers.

They are going on a journey to heal his illness Graphics are pretty good I must say, next gen worthy.

Sounds, voice acting are great also, Sometimes you have parts over and over again, untill you het that aha moment haha.

I had to use you tube a few times, because I didn't get further in the game .

But you can do it without, for sure.

After the subtitles it goes on, take note of that.

Didn't expected that, it's not a lot but still... Overall it's pretty good, a bit to dark for me though It's a puzzle action game with great graphics and sound.

Easily one of the best games of the year for me as i adored the first one, thought the story was beautifully told and the relationship between the brother and sister was very heartfelt.

This game's story while it's similar to the first one, it's a lot more vicious, brutal at the same time heartwarming but sad, the title from the first game "innocence" pretty much dies if there was any left. The voice actress for amicia kills it in her role pun intended, this is how you make a strong female protagonist, she goes above and beyond for her little brother and you can clearly see how emotionally draining it is on her but she always kept going which was really captivating.

The one minor issue i have with game is that it needs some patching for the frame rate as it can get pretty intense whenever rats are around and on the consoles the game could definitely benefit a 60fps performance mode.

As a whole to me this is how games should be, a strong narrative, great music, beautiful voice acting, intense stealth gameplay and memorable characters.

10/10 an emotional rollercoaster and one of the best games of 2022.

This is the game that made me love again video games after 10 years without playing. The story is incredible and the writers understand exactly what is family and the sacrifices that comes with it. I don't know if the tv show will be as good as the game because it would only replicate this tale with probably different actors and couldn't match the game visually. Charlotte McBurney and Logan Hannan did a fantastic job playing Amicia and Hugo and because of them, you really feel their characters live and be real humans with their strengths and weaknesses. They are not perfect. And because of all that, This a masterpiece. Sad but so beautiful and strong. This is art. Ty Asobo Studio.

This one is so much better than the previous game, the story is more interesting and their are a lot of new mechanics in the game like the crossbow and the new kind of alchemical slings. The game is so beautiful , I didn't except it from a plague game. There are many many rats more than in the previous. This game is more emotional, and their are so much deads. When I played it feel like this is not a game this is real bc of the dialogues and the atmosphere. The game is a little bit challenging but if you're played stealth games before its not a problem. I glad I have got game pass and I glad I could play this game.
