I just finished A Plague Tale: Requiem in about 17,4h, unlocking 29 out of 35 trophies, and honestly… it’s an exceptional experience from start to finish.

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, with much more detail, richer environments, and an overall presentation that feels far more modern and polished. Combined with the already strong artistic direction of the first game, Requiem pushes it even further. It’s easily one of the most beautiful games in the series.

The art direction remains one of the franchise’s biggest strengths. It still has that grounded, brutal medieval atmosphere, but now everything feels more ambitious, more cinematic, and more immersive.

The gameplay is also significantly improved. Where Innocence could sometimes feel limited or repetitive, Requiem feels much more engaging. Combat is genuinely better and more satisfying, with more tools, more options, and more ways to approach encounters. It actually feels good to fight now, which was not always the case in the first game. The new equipment and mechanics really add depth and variety, making gameplay more dynamic overall.

The story is excellent. It continues the emotional and narrative strength of the first game, but feels more intense and more impactful. The pacing across the chapters is well handled, and it constantly keeps you invested in the journey of the characters.

One of the biggest surprises for me was the soundtrack and audio design. In Innocence, I didn’t necessarily pay that much attention to it, but here it is absolutely outstanding. The music elevates every emotional moment, every tense sequence, and every quiet scene. It genuinely adds a lot to the overall experience.

The structure of the game is also perfect in terms of length. Around 17 hours for this type of experience feels ideal. It never overstays its welcome, and every chapter feels meaningful and well paced. I wouldn’t have wanted it to be longer.

The game is basically a perfect continuation of Innocence, improving almost every aspect without losing what made the original special.

In the end, it’s an easy recommendation. I absolutely loved it, and I’m now very impatient to see what comes next in the series.

For me, it’s a strong 8.5/10 to 9/10, easily.

walking simulator type game. gameplay felt very unrewarding.
amicia kinda fell off. the only female rage i experienced was me while playing this game and nothing worked the way its supposed to.
didn't like the entire tone and character writing either. during the last few cutscenes in the finale i started tyding my desk.
i would probably not be this negative if this game was only half as long.

结尾升华了这个游戏。
在结局之前，我本是想打差评的，可在结局之后，我想打差评的手就如结局时阿米西亚的手一般难以落下。
只有到了结局，阿米西亚才能与自己和解，玩家才能与这个游戏和解。

纵有万般痛苦、万般无奈，纵使努力皆付诸东流、希望皆化为泡影，纵使我们已经走了这一路、纵使我们连最后的、微小的愿望都难以实现，纵然我们终究要做出我们最不愿之事，纵然我们无法接受我们带来的后果。
我们还是要面对死亡、面对别离、面对痛苦、面对绝望。
我知道我从此以后再也看不见你的面庞；
你也知你从此以后再也牵不起我的双手。
但你还是让我做了，
我也的确这样做了。
我不后悔，
你也不后悔。

只是我仍希望，
假如你的体内没有它，
是否你仍在我的身旁。

这个结局让我爱上了这个游戏，我给了这个游戏8.5分，无罪则是7分，安魂曲的结局单独值1.5分，假如没有这个结局，安魂曲和无罪其实差不多
