Resonance: A Plague Tale is leaning hard into action. Fast-paced, visceral combat with excellent animations. Sophia is agile and aggressive — precise parries, combos and environmental kills. A big shift from the stealth-heavy earlier games, and it looks satisfying as hell.

I was really hoping to see a Plague Tale Requiem become heavily combat focused by the end of the game. I thought amicia was going to wield a sword but it ended up being too heavy for her LOL. I'm glad to see Resonance will focus on combat

Yeahh I had the same wish, especially with Requiem, glad they’ve taken the franchise in this direction

Kinda want stealth based but hopefully this is done right

Ahh fair play, this does look like they’ve done a great job, really excited to play

I’ve been getting an Uncharted Lost Legacy vibe from this one. Definitely looking forward to playing it this week. Good thing we have a bank holiday weekend next weekend, because I want to beat this before Onimusha releases

Yes totally agree, literally been thinking this will scratch that action/adventure itch whilst we wait for Tomb Raider Legacy. And same, I wanna beat this in time for Blood of the Dawnwalker, gonna have to pick Onimusha at a later date. Too many games bro 😮‍💨

Yeah it’s actually ridiculous. I wanted to beat beast of reincarnation this weekend, but I can’t stop playing mortal shell 2 😂 I want to try and beat at least 2 games before wolverine releases

I loved plague tale FOR its stealth. I finally had a game that had numerous Last of Us similarities. Changing the entire gameplay of the franchise has me very skeptical of even buying this when I would’ve been the loudest Day 1 fan if they’d evolved the same direction

still skeptical with the combats, but hoping it's good

Understand the skepticism but it does look really good, animations are brilliant

I wonder what this will add to the story, bcs the whole thing was about Hugo in the first place

This is wayy difference than the original games. I gotta get up on this fa sho.

Every time I see a blue tick saying scripted like message. I think being paid .....

The animations don't look fluit though, it's 2026, this is not peak gaming.

that's because investors want every game to become an action game. It's always the same scheme. You create an innovative game, it gets buzz, good reputation, then investors are like "we need more sales", and usually it means changing the formula to full action game

Oh great. They abandoned everything that made the series special and it's now a generic action game.

are those excellent animations with us in the room right now?

Are we looking at the same animations?

They’re taking a big swing, let’s hope they won’t miss. The footage screams “generic” to me

The foot sliding is horrible, the enemies just slide and pivot. Physics left the chat...

I like the more action oriented style 😃

Same, it looks really well done 👌🏽🔥

Satisfying? It looks very awkward

will they ever make a modern day sequel considering the ending of Requiem ?

You call this "excellent animations"?

I love the plague games so much I can’t wait to play this

excellent animations for 2007 maybe. the robotic lock on nature is nowhere near a 2026 game.

Wow, this looks very good

The combat looks horrendous

Love this Game

Sophia is agile and aggressive

The combat isn't bad overall, though it's a bit over-the-top for this series. It's nice that you can adjust the difficulty to your liking—all the way down to “Story” mode.

don't know about this one.. hugo was a nice addition to this game and the setting was fantastic, specially 1.

That is the only reason I never got into those games. The sneaking around aspect

This looks exactly like Horizon Forbidden West. Same wall-pull feature. I hope that this isn't becoming a thing. Artificially slowing down the gameplay is irritating.

I'm playing and the game is fantastic, is a mix between uncharted and ac odissey

requiem would have been x10 times better with this gameplay

Dude, dont rush with gay games just cos you saw few cool moves

Yeah nah I liked the more stealth based approach than this. Hell I thought it was assassin's creed for a second. This does not work for plague tale dudes.
