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 cruelty of human suffering and the transience of life to every player through an extremely realistic and brutal approach. What I most admire about Requiem is its hyper-realistic narrative approach. It eschews heroism or protagonist aura, instead saturating the story with anti-heroic undertones. Amicia and Hugo's characters feel profoundly authentic and multidimensional. Every joy, sorrow, fear, and emotional state resonates like real teenagers navigating life. They make mistakes, they feel fear, they lose control, they show vulnerability, and they exhibit selfishness. Yet they also reflect on their actions, strive to improve, and summon the courage to keep moving forward. Unlike traditional protagonists with stereotypical traits, they possess numerous human weaknesses and character flaws. They feel more like ordinary, real people like you and me—complex, multidimensional characters whose traits ring true to human nature. While some players may dislike this departure from traditional protagonists, I believe it's precisely this hyper-realistic portrayal that allows players to connect emotionally and feel genuinely invested. Amicia is not Lara Croft, with her extensive wilderness survival skills and formidable combat prowess; nor is she Clementine, who learned her skills through struggling to survive in a brutal, zombie-infested world since childhood. She is simply an ordinary, kind yet selfish sister who loves her brother deeply, willing to take on the entire world for Hugo. She is utterly defenseless against armored soldiers. She gets knocked down time and again, suffers severe injuries repeatedly, and teeters on the brink of collapse. Yet the very reason she rises with unwavering strength each time, marching forward without hesitation, is the courage her brother instills in her. Hugo was just a seven-year-old boy, innocent and vulnerable. He feared death and yearned to survive. He felt lost and acted impulsively. To the world, he was a symbol of disaster—countless innocents died because of him, and those who loved him were injured or killed protecting him. He doubted himself, felt guilt, and gradually succumbed to despair. The transformation of that once death-fearing, survival-seeking boy into someone who calmly accepts his fate for the sake of the world he deeply loves is heartbreaking and sorrowful. In a scene near the game's end, a battered Amicia sits alone in a small room, weeping bitterly. The weight of all her suffering pushes her to the brink of collapse. In that moment, I too wept before the screen. Her despair and anguish seemed to pierce through the screen and wash over me, making me feel every ounce of her emotion. Throughout my journey through Requiem, I shed tears many times—some for fleeting moments of genuine warmth and beauty, others for the crushing despair and helplessness of a world shattered in an instant. War, plague, the darkness of human nature... throughout humanity's thousands, even tens of thousands of years of history, we seem never to have escaped these. In every era, each of us appears to be led by some grand, invisible, intangible “fate,” and fate is often cruel. Life is short, and the world is unpredictable. Real life isn't a fairy tale; it doesn't always lead to a happy ending. Often we believe that struggle will lead to victory, that clinging to a sliver of hope will bring success. Yet the harsh truth is that struggle is often futile, and hope frequently proves illusory. In the end, all our efforts, all the beautiful aspirations we once held, are utterly shattered by the deepest despair this world can offer. For me, A Plague Tale delivers precisely this brutal, icy dystopian reality. Of course, it might also be because I've endured too many trivial troubles over the past year, making my inner world increasingly profound and complex, while my emotions have lingered in a state of prolonged depression. This is why playing Requiem evoked such intense emotional resonance with many plot points, allowing me to perceive so much profoundly painful and serious content. Players with different life experiences and mental states might feel something entirely different. Regardless, there's no denying that A Plague Tale is an exceptionally unique and outstanding work. Even though most of us secretly wish the world were as beautiful as fairy tales, A Plague Tale still manages to touch and resonate with that other, darker side deep within us. These dark and cruel aspects we often choose to ignore or flee from require courage to confront head-on—and Requiem delivers precisely that courage.

I thought this game was just about sneaking around and burning some rats Easy stuff, right? Nope Two hours in and I’m emotionally destroyed, attached to a magical kid, and crying like I just watched the saddest movie ever The action is awesome you get a crossbow, throw fire, sneak past guards, and cause chaos. I felt like a total legend… until the game hit me with the emotional scenes and suddenly I’m sitting there like *Wait, why am I crying over fake people?* Amicia is the most tired big sister ever, constantly saving everyone while slowly losing her mind Hugo is the cutest little guy with the scariest powers, and I would 100% protect him with my life Their story is SO good, it actually cured my fake PTSD. I finished the game and felt like I just went to therapy with rats The game looks beautiful, the music makes everything more dramatic, and the rats? Way too many. Like, way too many... If you want a game that’s full of action, emotions, and just the right amount of pain, this is it 10/10 would cry and fight rats again

This game was a wonderfully emotional experience. The gameplay is solid mixing between walking simulator, action, stealth and puzzle elements just like the first game. The story is where this game shines as you follow Amecia and Hugo through an unforgettably dark and heartbreaking journey.

(Spoiler-free) A Plague Tale: Requiem is an action-adventure stealth game with a deep and powerful story. It is a continuation of the series telling the story of Amicia and Hugo for the second time. This game takes everything that’s great about the first title and improves it to the perfection. It is another masterpiece from Asobo Studio that I won’t forget for the rest of my life. I considered the first game to be 10/10 but if Innocence is a 10, then Requiem is 11/10. I believe it may be the best game I have ever played. Allow me to start with my first impression and it was truly over the top. In the first few minutes of the game I was already amazed by the visual side of it. Everything looked incredible and very realistic. The moment I saw this beautiful scenery of the castle when going downhill, my jaw dropped to the ground. The view was breathtaking. I was barely a few minutes into the game and I already started taking a ton of screenshots. I must say, I have never seen a game this beautiful. It literally looks better than real life. The attention to detail is incredible. There are plenty of locations with stunning sceneries and all of them are unique. They look like straight from the canvas and every location is a new experience. Not much time has passed since the events of the previous game. It feels like we pick up exactly where we left off. If you are playing one game right after the other, it is a smooth transition. Amicia is still an amazing human being but there is a huge improvement in comparison to the previous title. I had a feeling that she lacked a bit of personality but this is not the case anymore. This Amicia is much more emotional. She is showing her emotion and often acting on it. This is a character you can actually relate to now. I like this version of her much more. As for Hugo, he continues to be an adorable child but he is becoming his own person now. Living in this dark and brutal world, he is forced to grow up. We can see his personality building and Amicia’s decisions shaping him. We can also see their bond grow stronger with each interaction. The game shows that in a very beautiful and artistic way. The siblings will also encounter other characters while progressing through the story. An improvement can also be seen here. The characters in this game are well-written, explicit, well expressed and unique. This was not the case for the first game. I feel like the ones in the first game were uninteresting and forgettable. To be honest they are when I compare them to the ones here. They lacked personality and we lacked interactions with them. It is a complete opposite when it comes to this game. We are actually taking our time and getting to know each character well through a ton of interactions and shared experiences. Those are the characters you can relate to and will not forget for a long time. I believe that those are the best people siblings could have possibly come across. You are gonna love those characters. When it comes to gameplay, the game continues not to disappoint. The world is filled with a ton of puzzles that are simple and enjoyable. I haven’t had a situation where I would be stuck and unable to continue. Also, everything you may need to solve them will be directly given to you by the game or found in your surroundings. The puzzles got more complex and their overall difficulty increased in comparison to the first game. There is much more game mechanics involved allowing for much more options when it comes to solving the puzzles. This game tends to put a lot of pressure on the player but I still find the gameplay aspect of the game relaxing. It’s been mastered to perfection. The game is also going to be a feast for your ears. Before you even begin your journey through the sibling’s story, you are going to experience an art of music in the main menu. There is an amazing song accompanied by choir, violin and a harp. I found myself often overstaying there listening to the song after launching the game before I would start playing again. I enjoyed it to the point where I would hum the song during the day. There are a lot more songs and melodies like that in this game. They really add up to the climate of the whole tale. Voice acting is on the highest level as well. Each character is voiced by a professional with a unique voice or accent. Their voices were picked well because they correspond to the characters and their personalities. It feels like every aspect of this game is mastered to perfection. In summary, the game is an exceptional experience and possibly the best game I have ever played. This game took everything that was great in the first title and improved it to perfection. Everything that was not okay or not good enough is an improved version of itself here now. I found no cons and I am unable to say a negative thing about this game. It’s flawless. I absolutely loved it and finishing it left a huge void in me that will be difficult to fill out again. This is a game I will surely want to introduce to my kids one day. I don’t know what words to use to describe this game anymore, but rest assured, it is a masterpiece. I cannot recommend it enough.

Do you ever finish a game and just sit and stare at your monitor for an eternity because you can't process the emotions you just had? Yeah that's this game. The first one was absolutely incredible, but this sequel blew it out of the water. I want to erase my memory so I can play it for the first time again. I got it and the first game on a steam sale, but it is absolutely worth paying full price for.
