A Plague Tale: Innocence (PS5)

Product Information

In 1348, Amicia de Rune is a 15-year-old French girl of noble descent who lives in Aquitaine during the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Her 5-year-old brother, Hugo, has been ill since birth; their mother, Beatrice, an alchemist, has sheltered him in their estate while trying to devise a cure. [3] While hunting with her father Robert in the forest, Amicia encounters an unusual substance on the ground, and her dog Lion is gruesomely consumed by an unseen entity. French Inquisition troops, led by Lord Nicholas, arrive at the de Rune estate in search of Hugo, executing Robert and slaughtering the family servants. Beatrice helps her children escape and instructs Amicia to take Hugo to a doctor named Laurentius.

Second, damn this game was such an unexpected action adventure thriller with an excellent story and awesome gameplay. I truly cannot express how much this game surprised me.

That tale is aided by absolutely stunning graphics, music, and voice acting that just made me want to spend time exploring this ruined world and hanging out with my NPC allies. It’s really hard to overstate just how good Requiem looks and sounds, especially when it throws every ounce of processing power available to render a million rats barreling towards you – it almost made the subsequent night terrors worth it. My only gripe is that sometimes Requiem is so ambitious that my Xbox Series X struggled to keep up, and at times would freeze up for seconds at a time, especially when lots of rat shenanigans were happening on screen.

Retrieved 19 February 2020.It’s only when the glorious and absolutely horrifying rats come to play that Requiem really shines, and this sequel had me questioning everything I thought I knew about my red-eyed foes. In Innocence the rats coated the floors and served as a creative game of “the floor is lava,” whereas in Requiem they’re a force of nature, capable of bursting through stone walls, piling on one another to reach tall surfaces, and even swallowing entire cities (yes, you read that correctly). You’ll still contend with plenty of areas that have you moving past a floor coated with filthy biters by using rat-repelling light in creative ways, but now you’ll also have sections where no amount of light can save you from the literal tidal wave of rats that are barreling toward you, and it’s awful in the best kind of way.
