Just like its predecessor, Requiem convinces with great characters, their development, their interaction and the general story. Especially the new characters were really likable and fit in organically. The world-building was also excellent once again. However, the game is also anything but feelgood and almost earns the title as misery porn. And the ending really destroyed me completely, even if it was consistent.
However, there are deductions for the gameplay loop. It was really tedious at some point after almost 17 hours and felt redundant. There wasn't enough variety despite the many alchemy skills, and the rat swarm stages in particular were incredibly stretched out at times. 3-4 hours less would have done the trick.
Still, Requiem is a fantastic gaming experience and brings Amicia and Hugo's story to a close. Two great characters that I don't think I'll ever forget.
