So, it seems a lot of people are interested in this game, if my analytics are anything to go by.. The day of release, my post on whether you should play A Plague Tale: Innocence before Requiem went absolutely bonkers on traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That one article got more traffic than all my other posts combined that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Look at all the pretty..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Still, you can’t go out on the internet without getting hammered with reviews for the game. Unfortunately, I’m a small indie publisher and didn’t get a review copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What that does mean, however, is that I get to enjoy the game knowing that, since I’m already late, I might as well take my time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
You get to spend a fair amount of time with friends (plus, Hugo doesn’t have separation anxiety anymore).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So far it feels.. Right. The story, graphics, character acting, and activity all have grown since Innocence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what a sequel should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no major departure here; if you don’t like Innocence, you probably won’t like Requiem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The improvements, though subtle, do flesh out the game quite a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
You can be as murderous as you like.. And in multiple ways.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You now have more choices in how you play. Want to be aggressive? Go for it. Want to explore more? Each location on your path to saving Hugo gives you a much bigger area to carve your path through relative to Innocence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can sometimes end up being frustrating, however, with the checkpointing system. I almost restarted the entire section just because it checkpointed in a spot that pretty much guaranteed me getting spotted without having any recourse but to run and hopefully hide successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Oh, and this rat chase scene: Yeah, you’re stuck without being able to see where you’re going, but so far this is the only instance of that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When I made it through, however, I felt a triumph not entirely unlike beating a tough boss in Elden Ring (although it wasn’t THAT hard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re too impatient to decide if you should get it, just play Innocence first. Did you already play it? If you liked it, you’ll like Requiem no doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll put together a full review in a week or two, so if you’re still on the fence.. Well, I doubt it’ll change your mind much, but we’ll see once I finish the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
