Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review
PC Gamer has reviewed Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, a third-person action-adventure prequel in the Plague Tale series. Priced at £44/$50, the game is developed by Asobo and published by Frogwares. The reviewer positions the game on the Tomb Raider reboot spectrum, rating it as superior to Shadow but not quite reaching the quality of Rise.
The original Plague Tale games were puzzle-stealth titles centered on children surviving a supernatural take on medieval France during the Hundred Years War, requiring players to sneak past soldiers and manipulate rat hordes using light. While the series impressed with its atmosphere and pulpy Grand Guignol aesthetic, the reviewer noted concerns with the underlying gameplay mechanics in previous entries. This prequel shifts significantly toward action-adventure gameplay, suggesting a notable departure from the series’ stealth-puzzle roots.
The review was conducted on high-end PC hardware (Windows 11, Intel Core i9, 32GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 4060). The game offers no multiplayer component but is confirmed playable on Steam Deck.
