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.

I haven't had any major glitches, just a guard that couldn't stop spinning on a bridge and Sophia that always stays ouside of the bushes

@@grunchlk I think artistically, Requiem is a masterpiece. That includes the ending. It's akin to Far Cry 3 in how the denouement is not cheery nor cathartic, but keeps up the tension. It could've been more fulfilling, but it's actually refreshing that it wasn't.

This is like the first truly next gen AAA quality. I was truly in awe seeing the graphics right off the bat just taking in all the details. For photorealistic visuals like this Im fine playing at 30 fps not to mention the crazy intro for the rats was jaw dropping and with haptic feedback I can feel the swarm of rats it's really cool and gross at the sametime in my hands.

So much of the game felt epic, I played on the series s and still had a great experience. In the very beginning I thought the framerate was low but i didn't even notice it later on

[@notVikkg]

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

I absolutely loved the first game, good story, fun mechanics, really creepy visuals and moment, although the main villain and their faction could have been a little more fleshed out. I will also say this game is worth playing in French with the subtitles on. Really helps with the immersion, and I kind of liked the French VA for Amelia over the British one.

Thanks for the review of this game. Played the first one and really enjoyed it. Hope this one is a bit longer than the 1st one tho. Finished the 1st one in just a few plays, maybe 10-15 hours.

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.

What I hope most from Requiem would be a lengthened total playtime. Story-leading games usually tend to be one-time experiences that lose some of the best taste on second playthrough. That was, from my personal opinion, the most noticeable flaw in Innocence. It gets even more dissatisfying when the story is more amazing, cause you know, being able to play a game for the first time only once is just sad. I'd like that if Aboso improves the game mechanics to a point that get players thinking, so they'd still come back after first playthrough. The Last of Us series did it pretty well in this I think, and I'm glad Requiem took a strong reference to it (least that's what I heard).

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 saw your review and got both games, honestly I love the story in both equally so. The game does a fantastic job of showing you how they feel, hope and small moments of happiness to despair. 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 ♥

I might wife and I are so excited for this game. Glad to see it’s just more of the same charm as the first. I could not recommend enough to anyone who has not played the first, go play it!

[@EricRamz]

How have I never heard about this franchise. I love stealth games

[@CodingAbroad]

The first one was my fav game last year

[@iamsepd]

The first game is so good and I cannot recommend it enough

[@LyvGamer]

I just completed the game (A Plague Tale: Requiem). I felt like this game does everything that the first game does but better in everyway. He mentions fps drops at 6:38, yes he played on a PS5 and I played on an RTX 3080 with an Intel i9-12900k cpu on ultra 1440p and my game worked fine (80-100 fps+) throughout the whole game. I also want to say that don't miss out on these games because it's one of the best storys I've ever seen in story games. A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the best games made in 2022 no doubt.

[@DeanT1987]

Completely agree this game caught my attention and that 30fps didn’t deter me at all because it was that good and playing on XSX with 120hz tv it ran in the 40FPS which was def a bit better.

[@Lumin-]

Just a heads up I’d recommend turning off motion blur and lowering the brightness a bit cos it can be really straining on the eyes !

I beat the first one like 8 times. Just beat the second one, early this morning. Excited for the replays I have with this game.

[@humnaset]

I didn't buy it. It's included in gamepass

[@ol61chevy89]

20 hrs to finish this game but for someone like me for example I love to play games like fallout, Skyrim,GTA etc like on cyberpunk I might be half way thru the main story mode I have more then 700 hrs in the game just exploring all over the place from the waters, gutters, tunnels, roof tops, fields, abandon buildings, fields etc I try to explore every where I can go. While doing this of course I find a lot glitches all over from going to places that most people will not go but I love games that we can do this things.

[@Ccubed92]

you got so much time on your hands that's nuts

[@LeoSengerRyanCooper]

I only played the first game because you recommended it in a video from some time ago, I just wanted to thank you, that's one of the few games that makes me emotional when remembering it

[@TRUE-LION]

Spoiler free huh? You've SHOWED the majority of the game here LOL 😆 still a solid preview. About the frame rate? You'd have to be coming from a PC and that being your bag in order for it to bother you. I'd say you'll enjoy playing it to the extent that it won't bother you nearly at all if you're a console gamer. (played and owned on PS5)

[@MarkyMarq]

This game was a masterpiece. Bravo to the development team 👏🏽

[@dathomirpizzagirl9686]

I will need YEARS of therapy to recover from the ending

[@ChameleonJack14]

This is definitely my game of the year. Stunning visuals, interesting characters and an amazing and original story that bounces really well from where PT: Innocence left off. The ending absolutely destroyed me

What makes you say it was better than the first? It was worse in every way.

[@GodsReaperMan]

That's odd, I could have sworn that Amecia was given a crossbow to use in this new game as well too just in the main game itself, so that part has me scratching my head lol. Amazing review though here Jake, AS ALWAYS! LOVED the first game in this series and I know I will have a great time with this one as well too.
