    I absolutely loved the first game. The boss battles were memorable, like the battle with nicholas. Requiem has its ups and downs. the pros are the story, the characters picking up where we left off from the first game, and the utter raw emotional scenes that have me on the edge of my seat. Cons, the framerates, some glitches that I found (I once noclipped through the ground and fell out of the map), and lucas standing in the most inconvenient places when we're trying to be stealthy. Im enjoying this game so far and I cant wait to see how it ends.

    Excellent review, the best I've seen on youtube about this title, I agree completely with your remarks. I love this franchise. After having played Innocence, Requiem was a day one buy for me as well. It is now probably my most favorite game ever. Beautiful touching story, deeply human characters. Emotionally wrecking for me... but unforgettable as well. I expect a followup set in contemporary time.

    I love skill trees that naturally progress as the player performs actions in the game, SO MUCH MORE than having to choose stuff from a weird skill tree of weirdness.
    I've played several games starting with the second (or much later) game first, then went back to start from the beginning, and I'm hoping this can be one of them, since I couldn't get any momentum into the first one even though the setting should have been a slam dunk for me, and since I'm still curious about it. I guess I need to wait for some sort of patch on the console versions, though.

I really hope they make a third one.

      I think Amicia's arc is done, and I don't know if it would be smart to continue her as the lead protagonist. But it would be interesting to have Lucas have more story since he is immersing himself to one day become a master of his craft and I think he deserves to have more depth to his story because he was such a likable character. Perhaps the third game can start with him as an adult with Amicia as a cameo appearance or by his side?

I got it with Humble Bundle not long after it came out and couldn't believe how good it was. I was able to get it for free with PlayStation Plus recently on my PS5 and am doing a Plat run on it before I run through Requiem. Can't wait, such a great first game and I think the second is going to be a real good contender in 2022.

    I think one the things about the stealth being so good, is that it makes you really choose between what to do, theres plenty of encounters where you could easily go through killing everybody, but the game keeps telling you how fucked that is, through your companions, and even through Amicia hyperventilating everytime she kills someone, it's brilliant

    The music is also fantastic... wish they released a soundtrack DLC for the second one as well. I love the designs of the maps. Walking through streets and fields of corpses or mutilated animal remains is not something we'd expect in real life. Overall i'd give it 9/10 ♥ 9 because there won't be a pre-sequel! I really wish there is another game diving into THE very very beginning of everything. But anyways, thank you for showing me this AMAZING GAME ♥

    My friend (who plays multiplayer or coop games exclusively) got hooked on A Plague Tale: Innocence back in 2019 on xbox with gamepass and I wanted to give it a try but I didn't have money for a console or computer to run the game (let alone purchase the game). About a week ago I finally tried the game out seeing as the sequel was gonna come out soon. I got to play the game in 4k ultra settings and the story was just amazing and the graphics were so beautiful. The bossfights left a bit more to be desired, but were pretty challenging. I finished the game about two days ago and me and my friend were just looking at the trailers and seeing the new stuff that was coming. I can't wait to get my hands on this game on xbox gamepass I already have it pre-downloaded. I'm not sure exactly how gameplay will be regarding rats and avoiding them with light, but seeing as the last game had a heavy focus on being near light sources and being in indoor spaces, I can't wait to see how well the ray tracing is implemented. Really excited to play this game!
