A Plague Tale: Requiem tells an unforgettable story of desperation and hope in beautiful, gruesome, and plague-ridden 14th Century France. The Eurogamer review
A Plague Tale is a series inextricably tied to the Plague, the Black Death, which ravaged Europe in the 14th Century and apparently killed as many 200 million people. It was the plague carried, infamously, by rats. And so it is that A Plague Tale is also a series about rats - wonderfully and gruesomely so.
And as before, the nuts and bolts of the game are stealth. This is not a game about reckless gunplay, like Uncharted, but about carefully picking your way through areas while taking down one or two - sometimes more - enemies who stand in your way. But you don't take them down as you would in another stealth game - there is one stealth takedown but it's very situational and loud and so, not often used.
Requiem is a game of great visual variety, whether it be the place, the time of day, the weather or the damage that has happened there. Sometimes, all of those things are in play - you quite often see the same location in multiple ways. The other reason is that, in the wholeness of the game, there's much more variation than there was before, in Innocence, meaning you get more of a reprieve from stealth. Chapters usually only contain one, maybe two, stealth sections, then surround them with some puzzling , some exploration and dialogue, and then some very impressive endless-runner style climaxes where you run away from apocalyptic torrents of rats.
And it's in Amicia's fierce love for Hugo, and their clinging to each other in a world which would separate them, even kill them, that Requiem lands its most powerful blows. It's Amicia's desperation to save Hugo that underlines everything. You are the main characters, but is what you're doing right?
