Resonance: A Plague Story Legacy is due for launch twenty seventh August – subsequent Thursday – and marks a notable departure for the collection in that it has a brand new primary character and introduces new core gameplay. Gone are Amicia and Hugo, the sister and brother duo who led the earlier two video games, and of their place is Sophia, who we met in A Plague Story: Requiem.
That is the story of Sophia’s connection to the Macula, that spooky rat plague, in occasions that occurred 15 years earlier than the unique Plague Story sport – earlier than Hugo and perhaps even Amicia have been born. Though it is also concerning the story of Theseus and the Minotaur, whose timeline we discover parallel to hers.
Gone, additionally, is the core stealth gameplay of the collection in favour of extra upfront fight, as Sophia takes the combat to her enemies, weaving round them with a wide range of totally different blades and their related strikes that she will accumulate, and roping in enemies from afar. Fight works nicely, as I found after taking part in a bit of Resonance: A Plague Story earlier this yr. And that is on prime of pleasantly taxing light-related puzzles, and naturally the cinematic splendour the collection is understood for.
