“Story starts rather shaky, but improves quite a bit after a few chapters. The game is even longer than the previous one. Very long levels. Great graphics and vistas. Definitely recommend.”

“Buggy and unoptimized. Voice acting between the two as you play get's on your nerve. Poorly written, repetitive and unrealistic. Idea is still good, and environment art is nice.”
“9 rats out of 10 I finally got to the second part of this beautiful and tragic game. The graphics are very good, and I also noticed a small detail that is not always present in games, which is the quiver for arrows. The…”

“If you have played the first plague tale. I say give the second one a go. I enjoyed the game besides the part of getting lost from time to time. However. I wouldn’t buy for full price. Wait for discount imo”
— a player, Steam review · 19 hrs played“One of the best games when it comes to story I played the first part. I liked it, but it didn't really grab me. Requiem, on the other hand, touched me deeply. Gameplay‑wise, it's not much different from the first game, but this time the story completely pulled me in The…”
