As a sequel to a much-loved game, A Plague Tale: Requiem doesn’t fail to live up to the expectations of its predecessor. Requiem has you take up the role of Amicia as she and her family try to heal her younger brother Hugo from The Macula, a blood disease that is slowly but surely killing him.

As you progress through the game, you will learn more about the lives of Amicia, Hugo, Lucas, and others, as they try to cure Hugo of this blood disease that connects him with the rats and the plague.

These moments show the contrasting dualities of a world that tries so hard to bury you and the will to keep on fighting. There is no doubt that this story will take you on an emotional
