A Plague Tale: Requiem was released back in October after a steaming hot journey of trepidation. The run-up to the game’s release generated a lot of hype, and the jury was out about whether the game would live up to the hype or not. It’s turned into quite a success, and here’s something that will aid the experience, the latest patch notes for A Plague Tale: Requiem, which you can read in full below.
These latest patch notes for A Plague Tale: Requiem will tell you everything you need to know about the improvements, and hopefully smooth out any bumps that have cropped up since the game was released.
The game is set six months after the events of the first game. The story revolves around siblings Amicia and Hugo de Rune, who must travel to Southern France to look for an island that could contain a cure for Hugo’s mysterious illness. Hugo will need to deal with his overwhelming powers, while his sister faces the emotional trauma of killing enemies so she can protect the two of them.
A Plague Tale: Requiem hasn’t even been out for a month yet (a baby in the video game world) and the reviews have been largely positive so far. The Guardian explained that “Requiem treads a fine line between poignant and absurd, balancing heart-breaking scenes involving the siblings, ever so well,” whereas Richard Allen from Gaming Trend said that “A Plague Tale: Requiem is one of the most emotionally satisfying games I have ever played.” That’s some mighty high praise indeed.
