Critic Reviews for A Plague Tale: Requiem
With more action and a far more ambitious narrative, A Plague Tale: Requiem is everything that fans could want from a sequel.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is a safe but exciting sequel with an impressively alarming amount of rats.
An unforgettable story of desperation and hope in beautiful, gruesome, plague-ridden 14th Century France.
A Plague Tale: Requiem is relentless in its depiction of misery. It imparts the troubling message that no matter how hard we try, we can’t change the future, and trying to do so only invites more pain and suffering than willingly submitting to our eventual demise. A series about two children losing their innocence and being corrupted by the evils of the world is one I welcome, but not when it teaches us to give up instead of fighting for a future all our own. The world may seem hopeless right now, but if we give in to the despair we’re choosing doom, and I’d rather go down slinging.
"Requiem's delicious vistas and atmospheric environments stand toe-to-toe with the visual might of many of its contemporaries"
At times, it feels too long and oddly sadistic in its focus on inflicting fakeouts, pain, and suffering on the de Runes. Other times, I admired Asobo’s command of this series, its rat-infested stealth mechanics, and its grandiose storytelling. Fortunately, the latter edges out the former, and Requiem feels like much more than just a follow-up.
A Plague Tale: Requiem eventually expands in scope and improves upon its predecessor's stealth action, but the heartrending story of two siblings battling against the odds is where it truly excels.
