A Plague Tale: Requiem - レビュー・評価・同時接続数

Loved the first game but this one just stinks. I made it to Chapter 7. Unfortunately many of the small but forgivable annoyances from the first game and still present here- getting killed by rats because you stepped one centimeter in the wrong direction being the big one. Others are the combat is ramped up (with most enemies now wearing headgear) but it just doesn't feel good at all. The progression in this game feels heavily forced and locked behind completing chapters. I started to notice pretty quickly that this game likes to lock you in the little "arenas" of which there will be rats, fire, guards or some level pulling thing. It's like one after another after another and it got really boring. Also, I hope you like a lot of forced walking sections....oh my GOD devs stop doing this. It's not immersive it's annoying! Then there's Amicia who acts completely different and is kinda unlikable the more I played. She makes some really questionable decisions and goes off on a rampage. And then there's too many enemies, clunky combat, rigidly linear areas that always seem to appear like you can explore except the game says "no don't do that". $15 wasted.

Let me begin this review by stating that I really liked the first game, A Plague Tale Innocence, it was a great story with excellent pacing and character development. And it's because of this that I regret playing this game and hope to dissuade any other fan of the first from experiencing this travesty that has all the hallmarks of a bad sequel, with character-assassinating and retconning so much of what made the first game good. I adored the first game because it was medieval in the true sense of the word, where yes, there was violence and brutality but there were ALSO various social protections against violence, chivalric code, and progress being made in science and learning. There was a story and meaning to it. Requiem on the other hand, is set in ye grimdark olde dung ages, where everything revolves around violence, and superstitions, any “nice” place is secretly a filthy mass grave underneath with gore for the sake of gore and nearly everyone is a psychopath and it's all just filled with nihilism to the point it all feels meaningless in the end. There were multiple times where the game introduces an idyllic scene where it was obvious it wasn't going to last and it devolved into senseless killing, and the game does this over and over; and in the same way too, either an Uncharted-style chase sequence or the protagonist is trapped in an arena and cannot progress until she kills a horde of soldiers, only for the game to castigate her for it immediately afterwards in an incredibly unsubtle fashion. I guess the writers never read the adage “one death is a tragedy, a million a statistic”, because they seem incapable of writing a tragic scene without introducing entire crowds of innocent bystanders to get gratuitously killed off. And this game does Amicia and her companions from the first game massive disfavor, essentially butchering their character arcs and personalities from the first game (and in case of Beatrice , literally butchering them for cheap trauma porn and dead mom trope) and the new characters introduced in the sequel are no better. Most are killed off before they get a chance to do anything interesting, and whilst the inquisition in the first game were stereotypical villains, at least they were consistent and well tied together with the gameplay and worldbuilding. Meanwhile, in Requiem you get several factions, all equally infuriatingly nonsensical and incompetent as well as cartoonishly evil, and most of the new lore and concepts either just contradict or cheapens the story of the first game. And all this just to end with a tragic ending that in no way feels earned. I’m not against games with a sad ending or characters making bad or selfish decisions, I loved Clair Obscur Expedition 33 for those exact reasons, but there all characters had clear motivations and character arcs that tied together with the main theme and game world, whereas Requiem constantly requires all characters to completely change their minds and act against their own interests several times for no other reason than to force in more conflict. But perhaps its biggest sin is to shoehorn in so many horrible scenes and mass deaths the protagonists themselves caused (which in turn also makes it incredibly hard to root for them), that when the ending came, rather than feeling sad as the writers intended, I just felt desensitized to all the ridiculous catastrophes that had been happening that I just felt “well, guess it’s over now”, not devastated, not crying, just an angry disappointment at the writers for making a story that’s nothing other than a long cavalcade of cheap emotional shots with no real progress or meaning at the end.

L Optimization... is it soo hard for the devs to just optimize a game ?? the fps drops are frustating even though im playing in low graphics... devs should be ashamed
