Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy

The game

The story takes place fifteen years before A Plague Tale: Requiem. You play Sophia, the smuggler met in Requiem, who ends up on the Minotaur Island in Crete. The game alternates between Sophia’s Middle Ages and Minoan times, where you control Theseus. It mixes linear exploration, light puzzles using a Minoan sphere, sword combat and stealth sections. The rats and alchemy of the first two games are gone.

What the press says (PC reviews)

A positive reception. Game8 (86/100) praises varied puzzles, evolving mechanics and strong storytelling, with pacing free of padding. CGMagazine (8/10) calls it a “triumphant spinoff” that stands on its own and welcomes newcomers, with combat far more central than before. PC Gamer (76/100) likens it to Tomb Raider with a sword: combat is enjoyable (parries, kicks, throwable objects) and checkpoints are better placed than in Requiem.

Caveats: PC Gamer finds the structure very predictable and some puzzles rote or illogical. CGMagazine feels there are too many puzzles for players who prefer action. Game8 notes slow sprinting, some performance dips, and wishes the story focused on one protagonist.
