@KilloWertz What did you think of A Plague Tale: Innocence, and specifically of Hugo ?
@Th3solution Aside from the enormous difficulty spike in the final chapter (the cart and the final boss) almost completely ruining the game for me, I liked it. I would have loved it otherwise, but those two parts were so frustrating they did real damage to the game. Probably didn't help that they were basically at the end of the game. That's also why I've never played Requiem, as I'm afraid Asobo was dumb enough to design the game that way again (hopefully I'll be surprised someday and they didn't).
As for Hugo, I didn't mind him too much. They managed to reign him in enough most of the time that I thought he was ok. Maybe he would have stood out more if the final chapter of gameplay wasn't so bad, but Asobo feeling the need to make the end of a game insanely difficult for no reason completely overshadowed any issues I would have had with Hugo. If I remember correctly, he does end up running off and that is how you get the stealth portion with him, so that was pretty stupid story wise. Again though, I still thought he was ok in comparison to Atreus and even Daniel if I'm remembering correctly. Lots of games and game characters since I played it via the PS5 version.
@KilloWertz I guess that final chapter was kind of difficult; I remember dying several times with the cart sequence and also the final boss. But it didn’t ruin the game for me. Perhaps having a little experience with Souls games made it less annoying. It’s not like you had to spend 30 minutes trekking back from a save point through multiple enemies to hopefully recapture your XP every time you died.
