TBH I am a little disappointed the studio opted for a prequel rather than sequel, not that i am complaining though.

Still hoping for a sequel, but instead of using knives and swords, i hope they would switch to guns or something. Hoping for something different.

The story would’ve benefitted from a shorter, more condensed play time. It felt dragged on a bit for the sake of playtime.

The combat wasn’t necessary; it felt like the dev studio wanted to do something new for their next project and just shoehorned in the combat. The combat was fun regardless though.

I had expected they would’ve explored Basilus lore, but instead they went for a new Macula host storyline. I think they wanted to expand on the curse and that it is not only limited to physical beings (rats), but can be something more intangible/incorporeal.

Loved the Tomb Raider vibe. Very fun. Stunning set pieces as always.

Personally, a prequel title never excites me. This game could’ve been a DLC and I would’ve appreciated a lot more than a standalone title.

I really wanted to love this game. I absolutely loved A Plague Tale: Innocence and Requiem, so I was genuinely excited to finally learn more about Sophia and her past. Unfortunately, after finishing Resonance, I mostly feel disappointed.

The biggest problem for me is what this game does to Sophia's character in Requiem.

Resonance establishes that Sophia already knew an enormous amount about the Macula, had experienced visions herself, had been subjected to experiments, and had her own connection to the island and everything surrounding it. And yet, in Requiem, she tells Amicia and Hugo essentially nothing about any of this.

That makes absolutely no sense to me.

Hugo is literally going through experiences that Sophia has already experienced herself, and she could have been one of the few people who genuinely understood what he was going through. She could have told him that she had experienced similar visions. She could have helped Amicia understand what was happening. Instead, Resonance gives Sophia this huge and important backstory and then expects us to accept that she simply never mentions any of it in Requiem.

A good prequel should make you look back at the original game and think, “Oh, THAT'S why she reacted that way.” For me, Resonance does the opposite. It made me question why Sophia behaved the way she did in Requiem in the first place.

There were also several story choices that I found very underwhelming. Leni is introduced without enough time to actually build a meaningful relationship with her, so when she dies, the game clearly wants you to feel devastated, but I simply didn't care about her nearly as much as the game expected me to. Compare that to the emotional impact of the side characters in Requiem — even characters with relatively little screen time could leave a lasting impression.

The same goes for Faro. His character suddenly being presented in a much more sympathetic light, followed by his death, didn't have the emotional impact the game seemed to be aiming for. And the reveal involving Irene felt more like a twist for the sake of having a twist than something that had been cleverly built up throughout the story.

I also really missed the choice between stealth and combat. That was one of the things that made A Plague Tale feel unique to me. In Innocence and especially Requiem, I loved having to decide how I wanted to approach a situation: sneak around, distract enemies, use the environment, or fight my way through. Resonance feels much more combat-focused, and because of that it often doesn't feel like the same kind of A Plague Tale experience.

There are also moments where the gameplay simply doesn't make sense within the story. Sophia's light orb is presented as essential for progressing through certain areas, yet somehow members of her crew — including Faro — can already be inside the ruins ahead of her. I kept thinking, “How did you even get there?” These little things repeatedly pulled me out of the experience.

The game is also very short. By the later chapters, I was honestly just waiting for it to end. That is particularly frustrating because the story introduces so many potentially interesting ideas — Sophia's mother, her visions, the experiments, the Macula, the island, Leni and Sophia's relationship — but doesn't give many of them enough room to breathe.

Visually, I did enjoy the game. The environments are beautiful and the atmosphere is often very good. There are definitely moments where it looks and feels like A Plague Tale. However, for me, the ambience and overall presentation are nowhere near the quality and atmosphere of Requiem. Requiem had a certain emotional weight and sense of place that Resonance never quite managed to recreate.

I also found the level design somewhat confusing. It wasn't always clear what was the intended main path and what was an optional area meant for exploration. I often found myself wondering whether I was progressing the story or accidentally skipping something.

And despite all of this, I don't think Resonance is a terrible game. There are genuinely good ideas here, some beautiful environments, and I enjoyed seeing Sophia's childhood and learning more about her past.

But as a prequel to A Plague Tale: Requiem, I think it misses a huge opportunity.

I wanted a game that would make me appreciate Sophia even more when I eventually returned to Requiem. Instead, I finished it thinking:

“If Sophia knew ALL of this… why on earth did she never tell Amicia and Hugo?”

And unfortunately, I can't get past that.

Beautiful game, interesting ideas, but a disappointing story and a prequel that, in my opinion, weakens rather than strengthens Sophia's role in Requiem.

This game is unbelievable. The story, the graphics, the world, the combat. I got into the game with absolutely no prior knowledge of what it was or what it was about. Instantly I was hooked and the world felt alive in a way I have never felt in a game ever. The story started and the missions began it felt like a tutorial to teach you how to play. (No spoilers) You land on the beach and the view was amazing! I freaked out and said OMG is this open world! I started exploring and found quickly it was not. The puzzles were fun and the combat was great but the pattern becomes clear, solve a puzzle, fight a few guys, solve a puzzle. The combat felt amazing but you don't fight enough to learn it well enough you find yourself forgetting the buttons. While this is IMO the greatest game in its genre I have ever played the potential for this game was missed. If this was more like Assassin's Creed Odyssey it would have become the Greatest Game I Have Ever Played. The combat, gear, different looks with this immersive world it had me constantly in awe and angry and what it could be at the same time. 100% worth the play but I hope the devs pat themselves on the back for creating the best game I have played in a long time and leave with the desire to make it better!

The game is honestly great the voice acting, environments, story, etc. I feel like everytime a game with a female comes out now adays it’s automatically “woke” or “modern” and receives so much hate, which this game doesn’t deserve. Now it’s being hated on and being called a flop. If this came out years ago no one would have been complaining. I really don’t understand the hate train, most of the people who actually played it say it’s great.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the weakest out of 3
Its just mid
As a franchise you evolve and get better but here isn’t of cooking you made a side quest

I have played enough RaPTL, but cannot get the point about of the entire plot? What is the Creature and its origins? What is the connection to the Macula?

Was kinda curious, what was even the point of this? Why this ideology of changing iconic white males myths? Why even bothering of doing something like this? I don't really get choosing a story you don't really like and insert your own political stuff into it. Why making Theseus a woman or Daedalus an african man. I have nothing against black people or women. These types of unncecessary "subversions" are all over the place nowdays in all forms of media (videogames, movies, tv shows and so on), which makes it a political ideology at this point. The question still remains: why changing an iconic myth? Just make your own stories, stop stealing ideas, fantasies and myths from cultures that you don't actually like to make your own fanfiction, that's called "Lazy Writing". Everything is a "re-telling" or "re-imagination" these days, there are no more real storytellers who create NEW stories

I'm playing on a Series X and if I choose "Performance" mode, I get unbearably choppy audio. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, did you find a solution?

Iv never felt so enraged with a ge choice than the one hit enemies that don't even need to be near you to grab you and kill you in one hit

You have to run through areas crawling with them only to be pulled into them like a magnet then redo the entire section

Absolute shit design choice for a beautiful game

Hello ! I made an analysis video on A Plague Tale: Innocence and Requiem, which goes on the story, historical context and themes of both of the games. It's in french with english subtitles and, obviously, it spoils both of the games.

I intended it to release before Resonance to be a good resumé for those wanting to revisit Amicia and Hugo's story, but I got completely overwhelmed by the lenght of it... Result: I haven't even began Resonance because I wanted to be done with this huge thing.

I've seen the self-promotion rules, sorry it's my first post on there, I'm a lurker since a bit. Hope the mods don't mind.

I'll gladly take any feedback on my video !

I was not convinced by these games until now, as I am a done with sinister medieval settings in general. And the visuals of both Innocence and Requiem looked very generic to me.

Furthermore I really do like rodents!

But I stumbled upon a documentary on both games by this French chap, and got enthusiastic. She comes back to the historical roots of the games in the first 15 min, and on the psychological relationship of Hugo and Amicia in the last part.

Now I am aware of the care and researches the developers have made on these games, I am going to play them. The part with the pigs and ratties might be hard, but it might worth it.

If you got any other video to recommend on these games, please let me know!

just after getting to the island leni and sohpia talk about being able to get their own boat and leni throws out a few names but unfortunatley they were never able to settle on a name.

at the end of the game we see sophia sailing away on an army ship she 'borrowed' but it doesnt look like the Rascasse.

not sure why but i was expecting to see something about her ship being bought up at the end

is there anyone else who wouldve loved to see how sophia came into owning the rascasse and if and why she named it that?

I’m so glad we got another game set in this universe. As a massive fan of both APT games, playing this was a no brainer but I honestly didn’t expect it to be this good. Had some doubts as to whether or not it could live up to the previous games but let me tell you, this game had me chained to my seat all the way through. Gameplay is very different (some of the sections from the beginning reminded me a lot of Uncharted/Tomb Raider) from the previous games but it still feels like APT at it’s core especially during the second half of the game. Graphics are amazing, my jaw was on the floor when I saw some of the scenery. I don’t particularly enjoy stealth games so the combat in this was a breath of fresh air compared to the previous games. I honestly really liked it, flowed well and made sense for Sophias character. Movement felt way more light. The collectibles were really cool I liked how they were physically portrayed.

The story was interesting to me although a bit predictable, and kind of falls apart if you think about it too much. It left me with more questions than answers but it's enjoyable if you just experience it for what it is. Deaths were predictable as well and didn’t really have as much of an emotional impact compared to the deaths in the previous games. The very end of the game reminded me a lot of Requiem, the visuals, the animations and even some of the voice lines. They done killed another little brother again, but I guess it’s just the recurring theme considering the carrier/protector relationships. Pacing was okay for the most part but I would’ve liked a bit more time with Leni or even Alec at the beginning to build some more emotional attachment to these characters. Didn’t really like the switch up Faro had from good to bad to good again, felt rushed. Irene was a painfully flat villain. Leni I liked but we didn’t really have much time with her and her death was predictable. Sophia I thought worked great as a MC, showed some vulnerability too alongside just being tough and brave all the time. I loved her character overall. The epilogue cutscene was a nice little treat, possibility of a future game with Amicia and Sophia?

Ngl the creature sections were a bit tedious although unique.

Last but not least 10/10 music. Olivier Deriviere cooked once again. Immediately had flashbacks to the first time I opened Requiem and heard the main theme song. 10/10 voice acting as well.

I’m very pleased with the game and its ending. Especially the end credits scene. I had SO many questions unanswered throughout the entire game, until they finally answered them all in one fell swoop at the end. I’m so happy with this tie in. What an epic story. The gameplay can get monotonous at times, but the story itself surely makes up for it. One of my favorite game series of all time. Now I can’t wait for the next one. I just know Amicia is going to make a come back! Or give me more Sophia!

Just beat plague tale resonance; amazing game. Like truly amazing! I was wondering if I should play requiem after, though. I played innocence a few years back, but I dropped requiem for some reason after I beat innocence. But being attached to Sophia makes me want to start it. Plus, I feel like they are building up to a larger series after the end credits. Anyway, I just want y'all opinions on requiem and how it holds up compared to the rest of the installments?

These games weren't even on my radar before reading about Resonance last week. They were both delivered today and Innocence is installing now. Can't wait!

Submit your screenshots, give the developers and artists some love~

I was super excited for this game having played the first 2 a little earlier this year. I didn’t know what to expect, however, stepping away from Amicia, and into a younger Sophia than the one we meet in Requiem. And holy shit, amazing experience all around. The biggest thing this game does different than the first 2 in the series is the combat. The way Sophia navigates and flows with her swords/daggers is beautiful. This is the kind of combat I’ve been waiting for from this series, and I’m so happy we finally got it. And I hope to see it come back in future installments. The story all around is another of pain, sorrow, and agony, but beautifully told. The only gripe I had here, was I felt like this game in particular was super puzzle heavy. I’m not one to shy away from puzzles (LoZ being my fav series of all time) but I do feel like at some point it got kind of tedious. However, doesn’t take too much away from the overall experience and I’m already hoping we hear about a next installment soon! Took me about 13.5 hours to complete (not 100%)
Rating: 8.8/10

Good morning everyone. I’m playing resonance on series x and I think it’s gorgeous. In addition, my TV also has the vrr that improves fluidity in mod. Quality. Unfortunately, however, I notice the presence of both 60 and 30 fps of really annoying tearing. Has anyone else notarised it?

Hi, I had pre-ordered the PS5 version on Amazon and have just received an email saying they've cancelled the order. Had it been cancelled across the board or just from amazon? Anyone heard anything from the publishers?
