Eurogamer - Recommended

An unforgettable story of desperation and hope in beautiful, gruesome, plague-ridden 14th Century France.

PC Gamer - 85%

Requiem is a masterful sequel and an exceptional action adventure.

Gamespot - 7

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.

EGM - 5 out of 5

Siblings Amicia and Hugo went to hell and back in A Plague Tale: Innocence in their quest to survive an inquisition, endless hordes of rats, and the humans that looked to take advantage of the young boy's curse. And now, in A Plague Tale: Requiem, they must pay the devil his due. This is the tale of the duo wanting to control their own fate as the fragile peace they had found falls apart, and the harsh lesson that their choices have consequences. As a game, Requiem is a bigger, better, and more ambitious adventure over its predecessor, but as a story, and a look into the lives of the characters that inhabit it, it's so much more.

Press Start - 9

This long awaited follow up to Asobo Studio's cult hit doesn't come without grievances, but A Plague Tale: Requiem a rock-solid adventure that's grim and gorgeous in equal measure. Smart iteration on established mechanics and pitch-perfect pacing lead the way to a journey across some breathtaking locales that ups the ante in nearly every way by its shocking conclusion.

IGN - 8

A Plague Tale: Requiem is a safe but exciting sequel with an impressively alarming amount of rats.

Gamesradar - 4 out of 5

Requiem's delicious vistas and atmospheric environments stand toe-to-toe with the visual might of many of its contemporaries

https://www.gamesradar.com/a-plague-tal ... em-review/

Gameinformer - 8

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.

I really wanted to like this, I just found the gameplay kinda boring, never finished it.

Also the kid had head like 3 rat headaches and the game was still no closer to explaining what was going on with him.

I'll be all over this day 1 for PS5.

Shame the first one on the Switch is cloud only. Plague is one of my favourite non-Nintendo games and one of the few games I wouldn't have minded double dipping with. I don't know anything of the technical build of the game but I wouldn't have thought it would have particularly stretched the Switchs hardware to give us a graphically slightly watered down version. Games like Doom Eternal wasn't quite as pretty as other versions but were fine.

Apparently a leak on the Mircosoft store has led people to speculate a release date of 17th June. Always sceptical with leaks - but I would love this one to be true.

Cool. I won’t play the demo, but I’m guessing it must be coming along nicely.
