The Story of Disease: Chastity. Telling an emotionally charged story, an intriguing mix of mysteries and secret gameplay, and yes, mice loaded with trucks are still there. But what impresses me the most are the forward steps the sequel seems to take in all of the above areas. With increasingly involved combat systems and a clever strategy, there seems to be a lot of fun among all the blood, mice, and tears.
Requiem begins six months after the events of Innocence when siblings Amicia and Hugo seek to put the horrors of their first 14th-century voyage to France behind them. Wherever they go, however, problems follow. And in this world, problems are equal to rats. Despite wanting to win in the final match, everything is wrong with Hugo. He has not completely overcome the illness that afflicts his family, so a trip to southeastern France is waiting to find a cure.
If the original Plague Tale focused on losing the purity of de Rune children, the sequel is about dealing with the guilt that comes with their actions. The demise of each enemy soldier (and there were a few in the short section I played) that comes between Amicia and her intentions worries her deeply. She is often seen crouching on the floor with her head in her hands, asking why this nightmare happened to them. This is not very different from the way she reacted to the murder in the first game, but in this case, there are a lot of values in Amicia that have a great range of emotions expressed – that is, anger.
During my time with Requiem, anger overcame Amicia, showing her a completely different way than we had ever seen before. The guard following the guard became the victim of my slingshot, as the rock behind the stone was blown on his head like a shy coconut man. It was an unprecedented demonstration of pure violence in A Plague Tale, but what kept it alive was a complete lack of remorse for Amicia, who roared as each rock was heard in the air.

This new adoption of what he believes is a necessary step is reflected in the new tools it has. Heavy arrows can now be used to bring down enemies, including armed soldiers from which sling projectiles will suddenly come out. It takes a few seconds to complete (this 700-year-old weapon was used by a young man, after all) but raises hell when he is released.
To reduce its strength, it seems that the crossbow bolts reach a small area, with a few available dots throughout the chapters. These bolts can be combined with objects to create an even greater effect, however, as can be any type of bullets such as missing stones and pots. Some of these alchemical combinations will be familiar to those who play Innocence – Ignifer and Extinguish, which illuminates and extinguishes the flames respectively – as well as new ones. In the section I played, I should try one of these additions: Tar.
Introducing bitumen to the scorching sun increases the radius of that light source temporarily, providing a possible solution to one of the many complexities of the game. It also has its uses in combat; lure enemies into your pond before firing on them with a well-thrown Igniter.
At its core, the stealth combat loop and the natural paradox of A Plague Tale: Requiem are very similar to its predecessor, but there are improvements on both sides. Requiem allows for more testing in its combat scenarios than it once did Innocence, and its new, larger venues promote this only. They also lend themselves to a more satisfying crafty experience.
Requiem allows for a lot more experimentation in its combat situations than Innocence ever did
Some of the annoying things that can get you out of the hidden game have been made smooth on Requiem as well. Thankfully, one death is no longer brought to Amicia except in certain circumstances (except when playing in solid mode), which allows you to tolerate minor damage before taking cover and healing. When you get too close to the enemy you sometimes have the option to deal with it. And now it seems very easy to re-install if your cover is broken by breaking the viewing lines and getting tall grass – another advantage of large stadium sizes.
In the part of my demo released in the last part of the game, I was facing a large open quarry area where twelve soldiers were roaming around.
I would choose a course of action and stick to the tall grass, crawling under the well-placed carts and distracted security guards who used clay pots until I reached a safe place. Alternatively, I would have preferred to leave the Strictly Snake and the rat, extinguishing all visible flames before releasing a pack of meat-hungry rats to anyone who sees it before walking around in the wreckage. Or, if I would like, I go back to basics and get myself out of Amicia’s new stabbing skill with the once-used knives found all over the world.
