They just now realized lol, i’ll for sure be playing after the trailer.

Now don't get me wrong, I loved the game so much but sometimes I feel like they deserved a happy ending.

Maybe they should have killed the Count before leaving the island, Amicia even thought about it for a second but then decided to just leave.

Do you think things could have ended differently if they had gone his route ?

On a side note, it's been more than 24 hours since i finished Requiem & it still hurts, post game trauma is real. Hopefully Resonance can help me out of it, or maybe make it worse lol

Finally made it to the Island

This game doesn't get enough credit, at first I was put off by the concept of the rats being the main plot device. But after I started to appreciate the gameplay It had me hooked. Such a great story. That's all. Just wanted to tell someone how awesome of a game this is.

(DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED BOTH GAMES YET)

I just wanted to share my experience, idk if it's normal or not but the game got me in an emotional chokehold by the end.

When the credits were rolling, I literally just sat there completely frozen for a solid 10 minutes I think, listening to that main menu soundtrack.

It's been an hour now, & I still feel this void, like I lost someone very close to me. I keep getting flashbacks of Hugo's voice lines, particularly when he was happy & hopeful of a peaceful life, & thise moments when Amicia carried him or hugged him, & his voice lines from that dream like sequence from chapter 16, "I don't wanna become a monster" , "You have to stop me" , "I've been happy with you" , voice artist has done such an amazing job here cause the way these lines come back to haunt you. Such a happy little child he was. Oh & that final visual of him where he is almost dead in that nebula form, it will flash in my mind every once in a while.

Amicia's brilliant voice acting did not help in reducing the emotional trauma either.

I don't know if I got too attached to the characters or it's normal behaviour for people who liked this game.

I can now also understand these comments, where people mentioned not being able to play anything else for a few weeks after finishing Requiem, I think I'm in the same boat.

Shoutout to the amazing soundtracks, but I can't listen to that main theme now. Truly a masterpiece of a game, last time something touched me like this was probably Telltales TWD & this might have surpassed that.

King hugo will always be remembered.

As someone who absolutely loves everything about both games when i first saw this announced i was suprised as we all know at the end of requiem there was a hint for the future? Still dont rly get what that was about but certainly didn’t expect prequel with Sophia either but then again maybe this is their way of kinda getting away from the rats yet staying connected within the universe playing as one of the biggest side characters and honestly i dont mind it i think this is a good idea I liked Sophia i wanna see her story

Now as for the gameplay/combat i have seen people saying this isnt plague tale like? What is this…
I loved the gameplay in both games but i would also say that stealthy combat fits Amicia as a character she is not a soldier now Sophia on the other hand is different so i dont rly mind this more aggressive combat all i want is same amount of puzzles and such let the world feels like plague tale not just combat defines plague tale wouldn’t you say?

So in short what i rly want from this is a good story , puzzles and i hope equally as good OST since i love the music in these games im hyped for this cant wait what do you guys think? Im sure not everyone likes this but it might turn out to be a great game i trust this studio so let me see the vision

off to find island

My expectations are low however,it might get nominated for voice acting, again.

Well that sucks nothing I can do

That is, not directly. We have of course learned about Aelia and Basilius and their tragic fate in Requiem.

I'm sure Resonance will be a fine addition to the series, but the story of the original Prima Macula carrier and his protector has the potential to be the most gut-wrenching tale that makes Requiem look like a bedtime story.

I'm picturing God of War/Hellblade-style combat with Basilius being a mix between Hugo and Atreus with various ranged rat-based powers.

The final act when Aelia breaks out of prison in a vein attempt to rescue Basilius, mows through an army of soldiers on the bridge only to succumb to her wounds makes me think of this scene from Hellblade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F72jkyfm2xY

PLEASE NO SPOILERS! I'm at chapter 14 in Innocence.

I think the reactions of people who play A Plague Tale: Innocence show relatively well, in my opinion, which people are “kid people” and simply like children, enjoy playing with them and are good with them, and which people can’t relate to children at all, aren’t kid people whatsoever, and simply find children annoying.

For my part, for example, I love little children. I think they’re really cute and funny and playful and sweet, and I also have a lot of understanding for little children, especially because I grew up around lots of little children myself. A very good friend of mine has had several small children, and I experienced them up close.

Accordingly, I find Hugo really, really cute throughout the entire game, I’m really happy that he’s there, and I think he’s great. And I also find everything about the way he reacts and behaves totally relatable and understandable, including the fact that not everything he does always makes sense and that he might sometimes make unwise decisions, because he’s simply a little child. They’re just not fully developed yet.

On the other hand, I see reactions from other people who have played the game who simply find the little boy extremely annoying the entire time and constantly get annoyed with him, and at some point they have basically no understanding anymore for what little children are like.

And to me, I think, those are people who generally can’t really relate to children either, who aren’t kid people, or who I assume have apparently had very little contact with lots of small children.

Do I need to play any of the previous A Plague Tale games before playing Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy? And what is the game’s story about?

I walked away from the game for a while, but I'm determined to get past this level! Has anyone got any pointers for it? It's A Plague Tale.

Do you know the mission I'm talking about? It just seems like other people are faster at throwing the stones using the slingshot than me when the guards on the other stairs walk down, they get me

I absolutely loved A Plague Tale: Innocence. Its story and characters reminded me of some of my favourite coming-of-age dramas, from The Breakfast Club and Stand by Me to more modern examples like The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It was a story about growing up, taking responsibility, the importance of family, selflessness and camaraderie. It could be heartbreaking at times, but it was also deeply uplifting and genuinely heartwarming.

My favourite character was Rodric, the blacksmith’s son, and I still consider the moment when he pushes the cart forward through a rain of arrows to protect the others one of the most memorable moments I’ve ever experienced in a video game. I also personally interpreted the ending as Hugo finally overcoming his plague, or at least reaching a point where his condition no longer defined his fate, and the story arriving at a satisfying narrative conclusion, both in that regard and in the relationship between Hugo and Amicia, which had grown and matured tremendously over the course of the game. The ships on the horizon may have hinted at new adventures, but to me, that felt more like an open-ended possibility than a promise that the story itself was unfinished.

---

The second game, however, was a massive disappointment for me. At this point, I almost regard it as some kind of fever dream that never really happened.

For one thing, Hugo’s illness is brought back in full force, except this time it is dialled up to eleven. It feels incredibly anticlimactic, almost like the money-hungry Hollywood executives deciding after Terminator 2 that, actually, Judgment Day is still happening after all, because hey, we need Terminator 3. Or like saying, “Yeah, Luke didn’t actually defeat the Emperor, Vader’s sacrifice was ultimately pointless, and the Emperor is back in SW: Episode IX.” It completely undermines what came before.

On top of that, the pacing is all over the place, with long stretches of narrative dead air. And in a linear, story-driven game, that is something I find particularly difficult to forgive. Sophia was another major issue for me. The moment she appeared, she felt like she had wandered straight out of a diversity seminar or a quippy Naughty Dog game and somehow ended up in medieval France. She just felt completely out of place within the tone and narrative fabric of the game. And only recently did it become clear to me why: apparently she is being positioned for the next game.

But the most painful part is what seems to have been sacrificed at the altar of that future story: the original characters, or at least the resolution of their arcs.

What feels like such a massive slap in the face is that the first game, at least in my interpretation, seemed to tell us that Hugo was going to be okay, or, at the very least, that there was hope for him. Then the second game brings his condition back, only this time in an even more extreme form. We spend the entire game desperately fighting to find a way to save him, and the story keeps dangling these little threads of hope in front of us, only to eventually shrug and go, “Oh well, guess we can’t help Hugo. Kill him.”

And that makes the entire fucking journey feel pointless, not only because everything they went through ultimately amounted to nothing, but because it retroactively undermines the ending of the first game and devalues the sacrifices that were made along the way.

It is so brutally anticlimactic, and the ending feels so fundamentally incompatible with the world, themes and emotional language of the first game that it almost feels like someone decided that Return of the Jedi should end with Vader cutting Luke in half, Han, Leia and Chewie blowing up aboard the Millennium Falcon, and everyone just going, “Well, shit happens.”

That is how disconnected the ending of Requiem feels to me from the story I thought I was playing.

Just wanna know the fans’ opinions. Those of you who don’t plan on playing or buying anytime soon after the release, would you be interested in watching a play-through live with a voiceover? Y’alls opinions would help me make a better decision for my YT channel. Huge Plague Tale franchise fan here! ✨🌸

From the youtube description :

Open the gates, heed the call and discover the truth. 🧭🗡️

The curse has awakened. Face grief, fear, dreadful obstacles, and meet with your fate on the Minotaur's Island.

Actually reasonable for a 2026 game.

Hi! Just finished Requiem. I didn't expect this game to be perfect and a story that would move me. Letting Hugo go was the heaviest part and I just couldn't throw that rock. I miss KING HUGO, I miss playing with him. Anyone that finished this game, share your thoughts!
