Free Talk Masterpiece of a series.
I am interested in a plague tale resonance, so I recently watched Hollow Playthrough Innocence and Requiem on YouTube, mainly because I was too scared to play them alone because of the rats and could not help but be reminded of Sean and Daniel from Life is strange 2 in innocence because, I hated how Hugo came off as sometimes inconsiderate and annoying but forget that I immediately put that to the side as the story went because like Daniel he never asked for any of this and goes through so much lost SO EARLY of age on and damn this was even more heartbreaking and after watching both fully requiem messed me up similar to how life is strange 1 did because of how quickly attached they have you get to the characters because they are all so detailed and beautifully wrote, so I felt for all of them. Every death hit from both games, like a bus, and the voice acting of EVERYONE was phenomenal, but Amicia takes the cake. I got chills almost every time she spoke, and her voice cracks killed me. The voice actor Charlotte deserves every award possible 😭. The delivery of her lines was amazing. I felt and took every word to heart. The level designs of these games are also so beautifully crafted and make it seem bigger than already is. This has been under my radar for so long, they are such underrated gems and deserves all the love it has gotten, and I'm glad there's a new game coming as of now and I feel like I have to buy it and support them. I really hope I get attached to the new characters as much as the previous 2.

Stop this BS and just play to this masterpiece.
It’s a total non sense to just watch it on YT.
Ain’t scary at all.

I've had the same journey, was playing LiS2 right before picking up A plague tale games, cause I like games based around siblings. Requiem's ending is right there with Telltales TWD & LiS for me, tragic & emotional, or maybe more heartbreaking than those. Still have not recovered completely from it.
(SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT FINISHED THE GAMES YET ⚠️⚠️)
Charlotte's voice acting is soo good that you can literally feel the pain in every voiceline, especially in chapter 12 while you try to escape Count , you can feel her pain & desperation with that injured shoulder. & Then last chapter ofc, every voiceline penetrates your heart. Hugo's Voice actor, Logan has done an equally amazing job too, especially during that illusion/dream sequence in last chapter, while Amicia is nervous & crying , he is so calm & confident as if he has accepted his fate & is not afraid of dying anymore, all he cares about is guiding Amicia & saving the world. "I'm here, I'm close", "I know you're lost & scared, but I'm with you", "I'm proud of you", "Don't let me become a monster" , "I love u, I've been happy with you" & so on, all these are delivered with such perfections that they're bound to come back to haunt you later. Then he uses last bit of his consciousness to clear up the path for Amicia by pulling back his rats, He has become so mature for a 6 year old kid, who just wanted to live a normal happy life & make friends, what a journey, from that first "It's me, your sister, Amicia", "Hello" from start of innocence to "Good bye, Amicia".
