"I can't protect you anymore Hugo... this is my A Plague Tale: Requiem".

Local french studio decides to drop the most visually stunning work known to man. They know how to use lighting, or lack thereof... Amicia is so amazed by the environment she forgot to put on her french accent! Let me start off with what's keeping it from a 5 stars... the stealth is very stressful but turning around is so sluggish that fully armored enemies can catch up to you, I've died a bunch of times where it felt out of my control. Game is also riddled with bugs with some needing me to restart but I'm there to defend bugs in games you know me... they can be memorable moments in a playthrough when they're not impacting the core gameplay. I'm more lenient when games are so massive now. Whatever it's playable. Honorable mention is the tried and tired formula of introducing pretty places and erasing them off the map. It makes sense! But at a certain point it's just taxing.

You know you've grown up when your big sister needs to find new types of collectibles. The characters are likeable like the first game and happy to say the villains are good! Less boss fights and more varied confrontations that usually are killing waves of enemies, sure I mean mother i crave violence 😈 your companion have their own skills and it's even better this time... the UI is cleaner too... I may as well stop the review there it's just gonna be "yeah its improved" to everything btw dont forget to disable hints in the settings

I had a couple bugs as well, a few just outright game freezes, but one had every enemy turn invisible in a big combat encounter and Amicia suddenly got absolutely hammered with arrows - reloaded the checkpoint and the same thing happened. Thought my whole file was fucked, but I just waited behind cover and eventually a cutscene triggered and the game progressed

My PC was heating the whole room but no freeze or lags.. mostly Amicia got stuck out of bounds xD your Amicia was living quite the nightmare... those enemy waves are hard enough without them being invisible!!
