A Plague Tale: Requiem

I really loved the first game, I played it through twice and I really hoped this game to be good too. But sadly what I received is a walking simulator (literally, half of the game is about you being forced to walk in an environment where there's nothing to see or do) with greasy dialogs ... I hope they wont continue this saga, as clearly they ran out of ideas.

Overall A Plague Tale Requiem was a fanatstic game that I will remember fondly, for a number of reasons. It is certainly not a feel-good game, but an emotional journey. But there are also some odd things here and there, especially concerning some of the characters that you meet. Graphically this game is stunning. it might be the best looking video game I have experienced so far. Beautiful lighting, textures and environments make the world come to life like never before. Unfortunatley this also means you need strong hardware to play the game properly. Especially during scenes where many NPCs are on screen simoultaneously, ther framerate can go down drastically. Where the game struggles a bit in my eyes is in the story telling department and the writing. There are some weird choices made by Amicia and some NPCs they meet that are strange at best. I dont want to spoil anything, so I'll leave it at that. Gameplay is largely the same when compared to the first game, even though Amicia can and will act a lot more aggressive in this game. The bodycount is a lot higher this time around.

Good graphics, good world building although cant explore that much, slow paced game, and nicely optimized.

A sequel should imporve on its predecessor, that is a fact. Reguiem not only manages to do that, but it also makes you want to play the first title to understand the full story. Gripping story, relatable characters, solid gameplay, gorgeous art design and graphics this title is fully worth your time and money.

Story line attracts me the most
