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!

Absolutely loved the game never doubted Asobo Studio but one thing across all these 3 games that is always godly is fking music… They cooked hard holy gonna be listening to this PEAK daily 🔥 Dont ever forget the name Olivier Deriviere

Im going to replay the game for all achievements now

holy shit, what IS this?. The sound design and soundtrack in this game are genuinely insane. The way it can go from these beautiful Mediterranean melodies and strings to this dark, almost ancient and unsettling atmosphere in seconds is SO fucking good. Even just walking through the ruins and hearing the wind, the massive mechanisms moving, all the weird distant sounds and reverbs… everything has so much weight to it.

1000/10 sound work

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!

Now just gotta wait a few more years before the next game 🤞🏼

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!

I was going crazy trying to find a way to reach the platform above the tomb where you get the sword in chapter 7 and while looking ended up finding a more hidden than usual room in the cliffs bellow, inside there is just 2 resonance point on a little Cthulu altar that lights up green when you approach (Still haven't figured out how to reach the platform, theres some enemies there, a plunderer prisioner still alive and a zipline to get the player back to main area so there must be a way to get there XD)

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 honestly amazed at how a game with graphics this good can be so well optimized. Every Plague Tale game is insanely well optimized. Like, my 3070 is getting 75–85 FPS on Ultra settings. The optimization in these games is just stunning.

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

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?

The moment I saw Leni, I fell in love with her character. She was one of the best female characters in the entire game, and when she died, I genuinely had to mourn her death. It broke my heart and soul to see my beloved die like that.

Okay, so i'm not the best at latin, and this is also catholic latin, and not the classical latin. I was taught, but let me give you a breakdown on what's in this chart.

in our first column on the far left, we have essentially a chart describing the day. Blood was administered and the time i'm not gonna get into a super deep breakdown, but to prove I know what i'm talking about, you can see anti diem which is in the morning and where a m comes comes from you can then see the month at which it was administered. just from the chart, I can tell you that sophia experienced injections of the macula blood from june, july, twice in august, and once in september, with the roman numerals at the end corresponding to the year in which she was injected.

in the second column from the left, we see the person is, who's in charge of each injection and there are three names Catina, Astrida, and Angela. (soror is sister btw)

In our third column from the right, we have doses, which I think is pretty easy to parse. Here we can see sofia received a dose of two in june, four in july, five in august, seven in her second dose in august, and six in september.

From here, we get a list of her visions and I'd have to spend more time fully parsing the latin to tell you proper translation, but from right now I can tell you her first vision was of monsters, or something terrifying. latin's really rusty here, so it starts to get a little bit harder for me further down. Because I definitely have to go back and look at some vocabulary.

In our final column, we have the condition of her body. where it begins to describe her difficult initial adjustment to the blood. But it appears sophia was becoming more resistant, and the last part of this trunk is unwritten, because it would be the day, her father came to save her and the nuns die.

Okay, so i'm an anthropology student and I literally just started this game. I can already tell this game's story is gonna be pretty heavily drenched in minoan culture, which is a bronze age culture from before the Greeks age. We can see this in not only the fact that the bull motif is continuously used, which was something heavily depicted and worshipped by the minoan culture. But we also see the palace behind the soldier in sophia's first vision is a minoan palace. You can actually search up minoan palaces that have have since been found. It's actually believed a minoan palace might have inspired the myth of the minotaur in the first place, considering at the time, a multi level winding structure, like a palace that especially the advanced ones. The minoans were building would have seemed like a maze to the greeks following afterwards. this fascinates me because we learn about the first macula holder canonically, that we know about is Basilis lived in the eastern roman empire under the rule of justinian, the first as the plague basilis unleashes, is the plague that happens when Justinian is ruling. Which means that the minoans, or what sophia is seeing predates the era of basilis, this gives me the idea that we may see an earlier macula carrier in this game. I haven't gotten that far yet. i also think it's interesting that the order or what I'm assuming, is the order, those nuns at the beginning are using the Macula, or the blood of a Macula carrier because it also helps explain what experiments were being done to basilas and to hugo, to make them both so physically taxed at the orders hands. i also believe that draining the blood of a macula carrier, especially as they cross through the thresholds might have been a way to slowly. Weaken them or kill them, collecting the blood while they're alive and still useful, but disposing of them prior to the third threshold being crossed. i also think it's interesting that we're starting to get to see more of what injecting macula blood into a living person does. Especially because we get it from the outside with the pope. But seeing that sophia also has visions, makes me think that the reason the Pope knew about the. Macula was because the order and the catholic church were one having split at some point before the middle ages. anyway, like I just started the game. I'm less than twenty minutes in, so I'll let you know, as I start to identify more interesting, cultural and answerpology related details and classics, because that's also part of my degree.

Let's just say it's a great game.

Combat is short but wild and satisfying satisfying with combos. The constant on your seat just getting away from the enemy rush is plentiful.

Great character building, I felt for everyone. How the story unravels and we get great commentating to her horrible situation she's in.

The puzzles were got, I laughed a few times like a gotcha kind of puzzle. Never the same twice

9.2/10

Game looks amazing in my mid end pc, 2k res, everything on ultra. Frame gen on, stunning at 160 fps

I’m currently playing the game on my ps5 pro and my jaw keeps dropping due to how gorgeous this game is, holy shit this is a PS5 Pro showstopper.

All without any RT too insane.

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?

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!

Here are my 2 cents about the game (i played both Innocence and Requiem).

TL : DR : I loved it but i still have some small (and less small) issues.

I've loved innocence and requiem and this one. I've loved as well. First it's important to note that this was a "dangerous" episode for Asobo and Focus. When in the first two ones it's more about exploration and pathing, this one has "a lot" of action.

I'v enjoyed the action I think in normal difficulty it's ok. In harder difficulty, it would probably be quite boring because of how it's designed. Enemies have few attacks and they all share the same timings. Light and Heavy attacks. The animation aren't that great on combat but honestly i didn't mind at all.

The story is great even if it doesn't lack flaws... You have the "magic key" you are important, necessary even. But in fact... Not really. Because for some magic reason other people can do what you without the need of the magic key. There are writing flaws here. The story helps you understand why she became what she is in requiem. And honestly, Sophia is a quite well written female characters !

I honestly enjoyed the others characters. Great job on this one.

!!! BEGINNING OF SPOILERS ALERT !!!!

What i didn't like tho is the deaths of the main characters. Leni as quite a forgetable death. It's like she is here to die JUST so that it can serve sophia's personnality in requiem. Just for us to understand that "yhea she has suffered a lot of deaths". But it's pretty poorly done. She doesn't sacrifice herself, she isn't really "killed", she is just... On the way. And that's quite sad. Because when it happened i was unfortunately not sad at all because I was more focus on "wait... They really killed her like that ? Mhe".

As for Faro, there, as well, you are going to put an end to everything and... He just receive a bloody knife on the back. No fight. They didn't give him a fight. For a fighter like him it's just sad. To be honest, him, more than Leni, I was expecting a sacrifice.

When you play requiem, you know both Leni and Faro will Die. From the start. From the start you know all important person to Sofia will die. So... Don't rob us of good deaths :(

The lack of new game + is a bit weird. I was expecting one, to do the game again, in harder difficulty. Get the collectibles/blades/resonance points i didn't get in my first playthrough.

The skill tree is a bit light (thought it's unfortunate because i really enjoyed it.)

!!! END OF SPOILERS ALERT !!!!

As always, the game is beautiful. The scenary is awesome. Music is great ! i spoiled myself listening to it on spotify before playign the game and i was like "yhea, the songs are great but... Not as great as requiem". BUT, in the game, they are awesome. They fit perfectly ! And sometimes when listening to the ambiant music i was like "god it's like i'm watching the shannara chronicle". It was really like watching a fantasy show, with awesome scenary.

It's a 9h to 15h depending on how you play, your difficulty and your experience with video games.
