A Plague Tale: Requiem confirms that Asobo Studio knows how to tell a story, and the community profile says it plainly.

Narrative ranks ahead of 97% of games, rediscoverability ahead of 95%, emotional connection ahead of 91%, gameplay ahead of 94%. It's a solid profile dominated by the narrative and emotional dimension. Where the game is more modest is immediate fun (73%), addictiveness (76%), and desert island appeal, sitting near the median at 58%. This isn't a game you boot up on impulse, it's a story you follow through to the end.

For a French narrative adventure game, these scores on narrative and rediscoverability place it among the best productions in the genre. Few European studios reach this level on those fronts.

If you're looking for a game carried by a strong story and characters you care about, this is a solid choice. If you want immediate action or an addictive game to return to regularly, you may find the pacing too slow.
