Bringing together all the power of a next-generation GPU to render a swarm of 300,000 mice gnashing their teeth in medieval France is a pretty neat party trick in itself. Asobo Studio used it only as the basis for a compelling, gripping story of human creativity in the face of unfathomable catastrophe, an astounding feat: as if that wasn’t enough to show off, they’ve now done it twice A Plague Tale: Requiemthe bold and brilliant sequel to 2019’s Innocence.
The first game won comparisons to the likes of God of War and The Last of Us at launch, and it’s easy to see why: All of these games are essentially 20-hour escort missions that result in a harrowing dozen chapters Road trip around. But without Sony’s money pipe throwing money at your TV as if it were a truck-stop urinal, there’s a feeling that A Plague Tale can’t compete. It was even carried a succinct moniker in “Our Past,” as many quipped during the preview phase.
But Amicia and Hugo’s story, estranged siblings clinging to each other as the world around them collapses into a toothy hellish world, transcends those petty comparisons. With unforgettable core characters, beautiful settings, and seemingly endless twists and turns in the familiar childhood game “The Floor is Lava,” everyone quickly understands that A Plague Tale isn’t a failure, but it’s a serious business Works that can almost stand tall among the AAA giants.
With Requiem, the power of those ideas gets the unfettered big-budget treatment it deserves, offering a sequel that’s well worth it, albeit not perfect (sometimes its various systems conflict more than interplay) , but proves that A Plague Tale is more worthy of consideration than those Sony flagship games, and when it comes to the narrow realm of historical action-adventure, it’s just as compelling as an Assassin’s Creed saga, complete with goofy fantasy twists in which you defeat the Pope.
While the original game was a much more intimate affair (as intimate as the Dark Ages Rat Apocalypse, at least), the sequel to Stakes is excellent as a companion piece: equally terrifying, but, with a shift in balance that puts the protagonist at war strength, slightly turning the tide in the confrontation with the main enemy of the original story.
Essentially, it’s a James Cameron sequel to A Plague Tale. What an absolute treat.
A Plague Tale: Requiem coming out tomorrow game pass for personal computer and Xbox Series X|S, steamand PS5.
