I played Innocence and requiem last year and when I heard this was coming out I was so excited! I don't care for the reviews I watched the gameplay and it looks great I love melee combat in games I recently played control resonant that one was good too

In terms of story, Resonance is very much on par with Plague tale Innocence imo. Requiem had the advantage of being a sequel and piggybacking off of Innocence, but they really took the story further with it. It set the tone for what I think most of us expected of any future Plague tale game. Requiem did what very few games would allow with one of their protagonists and that really shook up the fandom. Also the 18 rating definitely upped the violence and depressing moments and brought out a different side of Amicia which was very visceral. Resonance had a great story, and subverted some expectations with one of their characters (Faro) while doing smth very unique and frightening with the Macula and the original siblings being counterparts of the original mythological characters. It blended in very seamlessly in the lore of the games. With Requiem you already got a taste of fairy tale elements what with the island and the magical cure and it was the perfect decision to work in actual mythology alongside the Macula whose existence is still a supernatural mystery to us.

I really enjoyed the stealth moments and the combination of the stealthing and combat at the end. I wish it lasted longer the maze was super fun. I do think Leni died a bit too early to get in my feels but what really did it for me with her was the second time we saw her infected basically. Got some tears out of me, it was very sad to see her body disgraced like that by the Macula. Faro on the other hand, while his death was expected bcs Plague tale has a formula by now, it hit me really hard. They explored his character and the layers of his relationship with Sophia very well. It's hard to give the same runtime and depth to 2 side characters when you have to focus on the Main characters development most of all, I think. But Leni as a character was great, too bad she doesn't shine as much as she could've.

My main gripes with this game is the combat and puzzles. The puzzles for some reason didn't have the option to tell your sidekick when to stop helping and how to help in puzzles that required their aid to begin with like in Requiem. I don't know why they changed that. It made the puzzles much easier than they could've been.

And the combat was really fun but they made you fight enemies as a treat it felt like. There weren't that many encounters per chapter and when you did fight them you fought at best like 5 or 6 dudes and 3 at worst (outside of that section with Faro on the bridge). The combat didn't feel like it branched out enough throughout the game despite the skill up tree, there weren't any survival elements like with Amicia. Sure Sophia is much stronger and I'm not saying she had to have a stealth mechanic weaved in the actiony parts cause that beats the purpose of the hack and slash but the combat could've had more complex elements to heal Sophia for example, not just killing an enemy to gain the health back. Debuffs could've been worked in or smth entirely different idk. Too scripted all around. I played it on normal for like half the game and then switched to hard but even then I felt it was a bit too easy. Yes it required more quick reflexes which made it more challenging in that respect but I expected smth more than just Sophias health pool to be smaller and the enemies more aggressive. And even then you kill them too fast. Maybe if you had stats to your weapon and the health bar of enemies wasn't segmented in bars the combat would've lasted longer even with the number of enemies being not as high as the previous games.

All in all the story was amazing, it did something new with the incorporation of mythology and past/present sections with Theseus/Ariadne (anyone found Ariadne as Theseus super hot as well? No? Just me?) It is a plague tale certified. The combat and puzzles were just—good— leaving me wanting more.

A beleza assustadora de a plague tale réquiem. por cima uma cidade linda e acolhedora, por baixo uma quantidade assustadora de ratos e dentro da cidade... incontáveis corpos. a medida que esse jogo é lindo ele é assustador.

One of the reasons I fell in love with Plague Tale franchise is its visual charm

One more thing I want to add that I forgot to mention and I think we should all keep in mind as we rate this game; it being a prequel and the consequence of that as the third game in the series. We have context for the Macula, we know what the atrocities and pain it can deal. If someone played Resonance first instead I know their socks would be blown off even harder because they have no reference for the story, nothing to compare it to, plot points that havent been pondered on and explored yet. But because of that fact it can also become stale when the same familial themes are recycled.

Thankfully, Sophia's relationship with Faro as an adoptive father being mostly the focus of her arc and the intricacies of that are very different to Amicias relationship with her father (her sidekick being female two is another good change to keep it fresh). For one, Amicias dad died when she was older, which affected her differently because she never really had daddy issues the traditional way; she never sees Arnaud as one for that matter, shes grown in a calm environment until the halfway mark of her teenage years. I'd say she has more mommy issues but that can be brought up as a topic on another day.

Sophia on the other hand feels the loss of her father even worse because not only does her bio dad die when she's a kid but Faro ends up straying from the adoptive role he takes up. He stops seeing her as someone to protect and care for but an object that can get him the recognition he wants from the gang as the islands "treasure" and secrets kept eluding him.

The distinction is there with our two heroines, and it is quite significant.

I also think you can't make a prequel be about anything else but the plot points and themes which lead to the first and second game. That's how a prequel works.

Just some things to keep in mind I'd say as you judge it by "why do we have another brother and sister story?" And "Why does Sophia have daddy issues too?" (Not to mention that we should take into account the patriarchal sociopolitical aspects of these older societies when they were much more rampant. The game itself mentions through Leni how it was easier for her to exist as a boy)

I really had a good time playing this game and oh god, the final act brings back some emotional memories.

Hey, what’s up boys and girls…

I saw some people saying they got this achievement using the narrative difficulty, was this patched or they are lying?

Also, I am still on chapter 2 (the part with the guards, I wanted to try to do this trophy and get over with, but it seems impossible… I tried all difficulties and tried the invincible mode, but it does not seem to happen… what the heck am I doing wrong?

Does it have to be one right after the other? Because enemies take a little time between hits…

If I press block and no one was attacking me does it break the count? I keep doing this…

If an enemy attacks twice does it counts as 2 or just one?

Any and all help are appreciated, even if it is a cheese method, because I am not very skillful….

I just got resonance two days ago and I’m trying not to play through it too fast but I had to say how amazing it is already. I absolutely love how scenes like opening a door for the next chapter are so seamless with cutscenes that done feel like you’ve just went into a cutscene

Even if it s short timed one , it adds so much to the experience
I LOVE THIS SERIES

I played the game on gamepass (so no full price pression or whatever) and was bored for 70% of the time.

My opinion is that sophia is a great and likeable character, the art style,graphics and setting are great but the game is just too long and too repetitive for what it is(even if it's just 12h long), the combat get stale after the first 3 or 4 encounters, the puzzles are all solved the same way and the creature encounters are just overused.

⚠️ Major spoiler here so stop reading if you didn't play the game yet : Leni's death felt cheap and happened too soon to the point where you don't get to feel bad for her because you don't know here yet...

Finally I just hope that this game was just a side one and that they where working simultaneously on another mainline game where they allocated the budget and best devs...

Sou só eu ou a amicia está muito mais agressiva nesse réquiem? (First time playing)

It was a wonderful, beautiful, glorious game. I had a very deep, depressingly clear, beautiful experience with A Plague Tale Innocence and Requiem, but Resonance also got to me. Loved the playthrou, definitely got more action but the scenes, graphics, and music were just amazing. Thank you for creating this beautiful experience! Looking forward for your the nee games

Loved the game btw.

Has anyone heard anything? Any guesses? Anything? :)

This is Amicia in A Plague Tale: Requiem, after her mother’s death and with Hugo in a catatonic state.

Have you ever felt this way in real life? When you’re mentally and emotionally exhausted, you honestly don’t know how to keep going, but you have to anyway?

I felt Amicia’s exhaustion so much more after replaying this game.

These are one of the best story games ever. Every one of them made me emotional more than once and combined with the perfect music(talking mostly about Resonance and Requiem) they are just pure bliss for your senses. I was skeptical at first about Resonance, but goddamm I am so glad to be so wrong. Love these games. Maybe yapping, but I wanted to share my thoughts. Thank for listening to my babbling

Hi everyone,

I recently reinstalled Windows and unfortunately lost my save file for A Plague Tale: Innocence.

I was in Chapter 2 (The Strangers), around the part where Amicia and Hugo stay at Clervie's house, and Hugo runs away afterward.

Does anyone have a save file from around that point in the story? My game is a repack version, so I'd appreciate it if the save file were compatible with it.

Thanks in advance!

Just finished the game yesterday. Overall a fantastic run; the music and narrative were incredible.

However, around Chapter 12 and especially 13, something (dunno what) made me feel physically nauseated. I’m not sure if it was the lighting, the color palette, the camera, or the visual effects.

Did anyone else experience motion sickness or discomfort during this stretch?

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say that I love these games. Both "Innocence" and "Requiem" are games I played without any expectations, and they gave me a wonderful experience, so I worked hard to earn both Platinum trophies. I found "Innocence" very entertaining, but I was never able to complete "Requiem" 100% because I didn’t like it, and I also didn’t understand how to progress with Amicia’s skills.

The only trophy I’m missing is Furtive, and I know I’m not going to get it—which is a real shame. I don’t think I’m the first, nor will I be the last, but the balance between the Prudence, Aggressiveness, and Opportunism skills was always off, and I never understood why some encounters didn’t count even though they were technically valid.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I love the environments! No spoilers or anything, but I wish after you finish the game you could go back somewhere mid game and explore the island more with Leni. Like a flashback or something .. (this is why sometimes I prefer open world games like Assassins Creed because the game doesnt immediately end after the story is over, obviously not asking for plague tale to become open world as thats not the kind of game for it, but some free roam side "mission" or other unlockables like that where there's a small break in the story would be pretty cool).

Guess I'll just replay the game :')

Finished Resonance last night. It’s a nice game and nothing more. Couldn’t care less for anyone that d-worded in the story.

I have noticed so many similarities with A Plague Tale while playing Resonance, they probably wanted to recreate the highs of previous games, but they just couldn’t do it. Elements like playing with light in order to progress, focus on family relationships, innocent child in the center of everything, etc… Everything seemed like a copy cat to me.

This is probably unpopular but Sophia is way cooler in A Plague Tale 2.

I hope they shift their focus back to Amicia.

I really enjoy looking at landscapes and location designs

Well, shoot, what can I say, this game is absolutely an emotionally wrecking experience, the gameplay is fun, but the stealth elements can be tricky, at least for me, I have a terrible sense of direction. The final scene between the siblings absolutely brought me to sobs, but here's some screenshots I took, I have to mention I loved every moment between Sophia and the siblings, especially because I played Resonance first. I saw that this game has a new game plus, shame Resonance didn't get that, still gotta replay it for some collectables and to get more screenshots of young Sophia.

My score for this game is 8/10, visually stunning, voice acting is phenomenal, the soundtrack is an absolute masterpiece, however the story is morbidly depressing and some gameplay elements were quite tedious other than that, wow, Amicia De Rune you are a baddie, also Hugo is the cutest child ever, him and baby Sophia are absolute sweethearts, special mention for our baddies Lucas the Perfidious and Arnaud the Wall.
