First off... I want to thank you Jake Baldino for introducing me to the first game of this series. I am definitely excited to complete this one as well. Keep up the great content!

The autosave is perfect, it always saves before a situation that could prove frustrating

I absolutely loved the first game. The boss battles were memorable, like the battle with nicholas. Requiem has its ups and downs. the pros are the story, the characters picking up where we left off from the first game, and the utter raw emotional scenes that have me on the edge of my seat. Cons, the framerates, some glitches that I found (I once noclipped through the ground and fell out of the map), and lucas standing in the most inconvenient places when we're trying to be stealthy. Im enjoying this game so far and I cant wait to see how it ends.

[ReckSaber]

Easily the best story telling I've ever experienced in gaming. I didn't want the game to end I was so invested. The ending is such an emotional Rollercoaster that really made me tear up. Both the first and this game are true masterpieces and deserve more recognition.

Thank you for keeping the review and footage spoiler free. Just wanted to say that :)

Good stuff Jake! I played the first game and there is a good feeling playing a franchise from it's humble beginnings, then each sequel becomes bigger and more successful. You're part of their journey too

I owe it to Jake and the channel for introducing me to one of my favorite games with the first one. It was such a hit and I can’t wait to check out the next part of the adventure!

The skill tree that reacts to how you play seems like a really neat innovation

[Moelingga]

I just saw this and the Gotham Knight one. Please never change. You guys are the only channel that truly give an honest unfiltered opinion covering all the important things about each game. Thank you for always giving us top quality videos :)

I can't stress enough how refreshing these reviews are. Hearing someone be objective with a game even if they love/hate it, and even when expressing an opinion being clear they are being subjective in that point.
You are my go to when looking for opinions on gaming, keep it up Jake!

I just finished the game 5 minutes ago. Damn, man. This game is a masterpiece and I love it. I can't give it enough praise, it's just so damn good!
I alsoplayed it on PC and I never had any problems with stuttering or anything like this. 10/10 would play this game again.

[mikeberry]

Best storyline I've played in a very long time. This game had me highly invested emotionally. I loved it and really hope they have 1 more game.

It’s part of gamepass, I don’t have to fear anything 😊

[TienDzung]

Just finished the game and it was SOOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!! I feel like this is something Naughty Dog would make as it feels very similar. I'm so impressed with this game with the storytelling, the clever level design and a different variety of game experience.


10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND :)

People are complaining that this game runs at 40 fps on console. You won't even notice it. It's not a competitive action game. Calm down, it's not that serious.

[apricotmadness]

This game looks absolutely gorgeous. The scenery and detail in the character models is really good.

I'm on chapter 5, loving this game, and loved the previous one. Playing on Xbox game pass whilst on PC and had to tone the graphics down a bit as it did stutter but the game itself is just top notch with the story and gameplay

[Itz_Harbinger]

This is like the first truly next gen AAA quality. I was truly in awe seeing the graphics right off the bat just taking in all the details. For photorealistic visuals like this Im fine playing at 30 fps not to mention the crazy intro for the rats was jaw dropping and with haptic feedback I can feel the swarm of rats it's really cool and gross at the sametime in my hands. This games pushes the ps5 to its limits from both visual and technical standpoint. I've only played only the first 2 chapters now cant wait to get back.

[paranoidandroid___]

First game was absolutely incredible for what it was. The game felt like a AAA drop with massive indie dev heart. Something you don't see a lot of with tons of AAA games these days. I am keeping expectations at bay because of how close I hold the first game to my heart, but at the same time I'm sure the sequel will satisfy me if you enjoyed it, Jake.

[emiljonsson]

I just completed the game (A Plague Tale: Requiem). I felt like this game does everything that the first game does but better in everyway. He mentions fps drops at 6:38, yes he played on a PS5 and I played on an RTX 3080 with an Intel i9-12900k cpu on ultra 1440p and my game worked fine (80-100 fps+) throughout the whole game. I also want to say that don't miss out on these games because it's one of the best storys I've ever seen in story games. A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the best games made in 2022 no doubt.
