Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy review

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is a prequel in the Plague Tale series that shifts from puzzle-stealth mechanics to a third-person action-adventure format. Set during a Mediterranean treasure hunt, players control Sophia, a smuggler from the second game. The game introduces a new sword combat system focused on melee action, allowing for creative interactions with the environment. While it retains some stealth elements, the main emphasis is on exploration and combat, featuring beautifully rendered Minoan ruins and puzzles involving light manipulation. The visuals are complemented by a thematic score from composer Olivier Deriviere. The narrative evolves from a light-hearted adventure to a darker, horror-infused story. The game is priced at £44, available on Windows 11 and Steam Deck.
