Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is the third production under A Plague Tale banner. It is a series that began in 2019. As the title suggests, we are not dealing with a sequel here, but with a spin-off of the brand, realized in the form of a prequel to the game A Plague Tale: Requiem. This action-adventure game was developed by the creators of the previous parts of the series, namely the French Asobo Studio.

Story

The action of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes place 15 years before the events told in the second installment of the series. The main character of the game is Sophia, a young plunderer, whose escape leads her to the Minotaur's Island, which in the Bronze Age belonged to the Minoan civilization.

A Plague Tale Game Series

A series of action adventure games with stealth elements, created and developed by the French development team Asobo Studio. The first installment of the series, i.e. A Plague Tale: Innocence, debuted in 2019. Its artistic and commercial success led its publisher, Focus Entertainment (formerly known as Focus Home Interactive), to give the green light to develop its sequel. The second part of the series, titled A Plague Tale: Requiem, players could check out in 2022. The production repeated the success of its predecessor, and although the developers argued that the story they had told was a closed whole, it looked like the series would live to see further installments.

TechStomper: 4.5 / 5 by Stuart Cullen

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a brave title that moves the series in a whole new direction, but it lands it perfectly, managing to blend history, adventure and human drama into something that feels different.

Full Review

Impulsegamer: 3.5 / 5 by Ali Arkani

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an okay linear experience. Everything in the game is mediocre, and nothing except the visuals stands out. The writing and characters are insufferable; some scripted portions of the game, which are reduced to just walking and talking, are too long to bear, but most of the combat, puzzle, and stealth scenarios are good enough to keep you going. At the end of the day, Resonance lacks the genuine ideas and emotional depth that made the A Plague Tale series stand out from other cinematic action-adventure games.

Full Review

Use a Potion: 9 / 10

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a brilliant pivot for the series, swapping the iconic rat swarms and stealth-survival for fluid action-packed combat through an ancient (yet absolutely gorgeous) locale. Sure, the heavy reliance on light-reflection mechanics can feel a little tiresome, but the gripping narrative, breathtaking audio-visual presentation, and genuinely unsettling atmosphere more than make up for it, ensuring that Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy delivers a pulse-pounding, unforgettable journey that proves that this world is just as captivating even when the rats are left behind.
