Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy

Hey remember Diablo 1 - my son was next to me hitting the button to refill health (he may have been 10, I now have a grandson). Anyway Resonance is a great game! I will mostly comment on the use of a controller for us old timers who prefer a keyboard. I am half way thru and have been using a controller, be not afraid. This is a great game to experience a controller. And have a great time going thru the game, I'm addicted!

Just finished this game and it was amazing. I love you Asobo and Focus studio i really hope there will be a 4th game pleaseee 10/10 sound 10/10 graphics 10/10 story 10/10 action

还是瘟疫传说那个味道，战斗设定和二代投石索弩箭杀人差不多，当作添头，还是重解密 这作我愿称为神庙逃亡 画面还是一如既往的漂亮

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes a big risk with its decision to deviate from the beloved stealth-based gameplay in Innocence and Requiem, and I personally believe that risk paid off. The gameplay changes surrounding combat were fantastic. They were smooth, responsive, kind of simple and generic, yet very enjoyable. Regarding level design, I was very impressed by the beautifully crafted levels. Additionally, the music was outstanding. Likewise, the graphics and visuals were phenomenal, and the game ran very well: no issues regarding optimization and performance. The plot presented was very immersive and intriguing. I loved the characters, and they were well written. On the topic of writing, in comparison to the masterful and emotional writing of Requiem, Resonance did not quite reach that astronomically high bar despite still being well written and emotional. I also observed that the narrative was drawn out towards the end of the game. I would also like to point out one specific thing that personally confused me until the end, and that was the pseudonym used for the “monster.” Said “monster” goes by two names and the game holds off on reconciling them until very late. Moreover, it was uncertain whether this was intentional or if it was unclear writing, but in either case I would have appreciated some clarification sooner. On one final note, the game closely resembles a Tomb Raider/ Uncharted game in terms of gameplay loop and story in the best way possible. That said, the level design and narrative themes still make it feel like a Plague Tale prequel. In conclusion, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an ambitious, yet mostly successful attempt at a prequel given the massive changes. I would definitely recommend that fans of the franchise give the game a shot despite the writing falling short of Requiem. Additionally, I would like to add that enjoyers of the adventure genre should consider playing it given the nature of the game.

Great story, great characters, beautiful music, amazing graphics, and superb performance, I managed over 70fps on high graphics on my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with very occasional dips. The in-house engine asobo has is truly something else. This game only really falls short with its gameplay. It's not terrible but not great, it can feel janky at times, same as the previous games in my opinion. If gameplay is your main priority, then this game may not be the best fit for you, but the story and characters more than makes up for that if you're willing to see it through till the end. 8.5/10. I want to see more games from this studio. P.S. If you look anything like sophia, hmu let's get married

Loved it, from start to finish. The action-oriented gameplay and fighting style makes sense, even though it is a departure from the Plague Tale games known so far. In fact, only very little connects this game with the other parts of the series, which isn't a point of criticism, just something that popped up in my head from time to time. This does, however, not take away from the quality of the story and writing, the game design, characters and gameplay.

Je partais avec quelques a priori, étant un grand fan des premiers A Plague Tale. Le changement complet d’univers et d’histoire me faisait donc un peu peur… Mais finalement, c’est une très bonne surprise, je ne suis pas déçu. L’univers est totalement différent et c’est justement ce qui fonctionne. Visuellement, le jeu est vraiment très agréable, les sensations sont bonnes et les bandes sons également. Je trouve l'optimisation du jeu correct mais j'ai l'avantage d'avoir une config "récente" qui à moins de 2ans. Le système de combat, que je trouve assez « simpliste » sur le papier, fonctionne pourtant extrêmement bien. C’est fluide, intuitif, bien pensé, et surtout on ne passe pas son temps à se battre avec les touches. En mode Hard, la difficulté est pour moi très bien dosée : suffisamment exigeante sans devenir frustrante. Au final, c’est exactement le genre de jeu que j’aime : bien fini, bien équilibré, avec un mix & twist parfaitement dosé entre action, histoire, puzzle et découverte. On avance sans jamais avoir l’impression de faire trop longtemps la même chose. Une très belle surprise, et surtout un A Plague Tale qui ose prendre une direction différente. 👌
