Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this prequel for its beauty, music and story, though many find the new combat-heavy gameplay repetitive and the narrative less affecting than the earlier games.

Many players praise the visuals, atmosphere, soundtrack and voice acting, and several say the game runs smoothly with few bugs. The shift from stealth to action has split opinion: some enjoy the parry and dodge combat and the puzzles, while others find fights too frequent, sometimes breaking tense horror moments, and combat shallow with little enemy variety. The story, centred on Sophia and a Minotaur-inspired myth, is praised as a well-told prequel that expands the lore, but some find its twists predictable and its characters less emotionally engaging than Amicia and Hugo. Recent reviews are a little more mixed than the older helpful ones, with several saying the game is good but not as strong as the earlier entries.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Too much combat

    Players find fights frequent and drawn out, sometimes interrupting tense sections and making stealth feel secondary.

    Many players
  • Shallow combat and few enemies

    Players call the combat simplistic and repetitive, with enemies changing little across the game.

    Some players
  • Predictable, weaker story

    Players find twists easy to predict and characters less emotionally engaging than in the earlier games.

    Some players
  • Shorter, pacing issues

    Players say the game is shorter than its predecessors for the same price and that the pacing feels rushed early on.

    A few players
Who it suits
Suited to fans of the Plague Tale series and players who enjoy story-driven action-adventure games with puzzles, Tomb Raider-style exploration and strong visuals.
Who should skip it
Players who want the stealth and rat-swarm focus of the earlier games or who prefer a longer, more emotional story should probably skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more hours tend to note the repetitive combat and weaker story more often, while those with shorter playtimes focus on the visuals and atmosphere.
