A Plague Tale: Requiem

Amicia returns in this stealth-action RPG set during the black plague, hunted by French Inquisition soldiers while navigating areas thick with plague rats. You'll alternate between sneaking past threats and using alchemy-based tools to fight or manipulate your environment—light sources repel rat swarms, while crafted items handle human enemies. The combat system expands on the first game: pure stealth remains viable, but new abilities let you handle direct fights if spotted. Progression trees let you spec Amicia toward your preferred approach. Levels are larger this time, with multiple routes through each area depending on whether you prioritize silence or aggression. The story focuses on Amicia's relationship with her supernaturally afflicted brother as they search for a cure. Expect resource management, environmental puzzles using light and fire, and frequent moral tension between protecting family and surviving.
