Summary

Ex Serv, a long-time fan of the Plague Tale series, presents his review of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a spin-off developed by Asobo. He emphasizes a significant tonal shift from the previous games, moving away from stealth and emotional weight toward a more action-adventure, ‘popcorn’ style reminiscent of Uncharted and Tomb Raider. The story follows Sophia, a young girl with visions, who becomes involved in a treasure hunt on the island of Minos, blending Greek mythology with cosmic horror. Ex Serv praises the game’s narrative, dialogue, voice acting (preferring the English dub), pacing, and visual beauty, noting that it feels like a AAA title despite a smaller budget. He also mentions some weaknesses, including puzzle sections that break immersion and slightly rough combat animations. He recommends playing on easy mode for a smoother experience. Overall, he awards the game his ‘C’est Ouf’ label, indicating high enthusiasm, and suggests it demonstrates Asobo’s growing ambition and capability.
