Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review
PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, PC; Asobo StudioThe medieval franchise is transplanted to Crete, conjuring action-adventure magic from familiar ingredients
TL;DR
- The game features a dual timeline, connecting a young woman, Sophia, to a Minoan warrior through 'resonance'.
- Gameplay involves linear progression, platforming, stealth, and combat, similar to titles like Tomb Raider and The Last of Us.
- Sophia, a character from A Plague Tale, is the protagonist of this swashbuckling adventure set in Crete.
- The presentation contrasts a holiday brochure-like Crete with a darker narrative, incorporating light-based puzzles.
- Combat sequences, especially towards the end with swirling light and disintegrating enemies, are highlighted as dynamic.
- The game's success is attributed to its presentation, compelling characters, and Sophia's journey of breaking free from destiny.
