Review: A Plague Tale: Requiem is an uneven adventure plagued by performance woes. ⭐⭐
is a game that does many things well, but doesn’t commit to any of them nearly enough.
There’s an early section when you’re tasked with evading a large group of enemies, wherein the game very heavily hints that you should just run forward, however doing so will lock you in an endless loop of dying.The only solution we found was to break into some kind of ersatz Benny Hill sketch where four lumbering guards chased us around a rock until we finally disengaged their patrol cycle.
The game is at its best when you’re skulking through the thick brush avoiding enemies altogether, or using rats to skin them alive. These more action-based sequences feel like an attempt to break up some perceived slowness in the quieter moments, which is a shame because it’s where the game excels. “The runtime on our adventure was greatly lengthened by the amount of time we spent in photo mode, or just looking out over the horizon. Your screenshot button will be substantially worn down.”
A Plague Tale: Requiem is a sometimes compelling adventure weighed down by poor technical performance and simple, frustrating and repetitive gameplay.While the stealth action can be enjoyable, and the puzzle elements of using the impressive hordes of rats to your advantage can be engaging, it’s a game that introduces compelling ideas but never really capitalizes on any of them.
