After playing Innocence and Requiem, this one is definitely worse in terms of mechanics. The story is great in both titles, although the continuity is a little lacking where Requiem seems to have forgotten the events of Innocence, especially Hugo's experiences controlling the rats. But what really annoyed me in Requiem is broken gameplay mechanics. Crossing an area covered by rats? No problem, light something on fire, follow it through the area. At the far side, try to mantle onto the next platform. Try again. Try again. Get eaten by rats. The key-press prompt is there, but pressing the key doesn't do anything. And the "sprint away from the rats while looking backward" is terrible.
