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.

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.
