Both The Plague tale games. Are real masterpieces. There was clearly a lot of love and care put into both games. They are almost perfection. I love all the protagonist Amicia especially the way that she changed from a young teenage girl to a ruthless protecter for her brother It's pretty unfortunate that I don't see as much people talking about the games here after the game awards

The writer of The Last Of Us games himself said that these games were their French and medieval equivalent, which is really sad on the one hand because this game did not have as much success when it deserved Really ! Especially for such a small studio, the work provided is colossal. I always listen to the music from the game and it gives me chills, and sometimes I watch let's plays to relive the game through someone else's eyes.

the person who wrote TLOU2 has no right to compare that game to APT

Equivalent? The level of writing is on completely different level between those two games. I'd pick Innocence/Requiem over TLOU any day.

I see Amicia as a metaphor for modern day child soldiers, as it happened in Africa, or normal citizens suddenly pushed into a war by outside forces, like "normal" young women joining the army in Ukraine today. A core aspect of Amicia is, that she is not who she wants to be, and the story is also about her struggle to maintain her humanity, her fight for her own soul (and the soul of Hugo). A struggle that child soldiers or young soldiers pushed into the situation due to an outside aggression are facing every day. While playing in the 14th century, the story of "A Plague Tale: Requiem" and especially the character of Amicia is very relevant to your modern times. The story of the game is an allegory, and it is rich with metaphors, and while it seems to place itself during the medieval times, it is in fact about the human condition today. The story is about us, and what violence does with us and the inner struggle to not give in and lose your ability to have compassion and feel empathy - to not give into the "Macula", to not be like them, but stay a "de Rune".

A very interesting take on this young lady! Never looked at it like this but thinking about it now, you might be completely right!

@@JorreVanDijck I think one of the reasons why the story and the characters, and especially Amicia, stays with many, is because on a subconscious level we know the story and the characters are about a truth. And by reflecting about them, thinking about the story and its characters, we can learn something about ourselves and the world around us. And the ones making the game knew about it also and went the extra way, like Robyn Wolf and Charlotte McBurney, body, soul and voice of Amicia, and Olivier Ponsonnet, who created her model to ensure it projects every nuance of Robyn Wolf's performance. And Charlotte did not only act, but went through Amicia's real emotions, like channeling Amicia's ghost from the past through her body. Never was it more fitting to say, that Amicia was loved into being by everyone involved creating her. This "game" (more an interactive movie), its story and characters is special.

I just adore Amicia. Although I felt a dramatic change in her character from Innocence to Requiem, nonetheless she acts very 'human'. And the game never makes her insufferable. She just wants to be left alone. She gets aggressive, reckless, but she's vulnerable. Especially at the end when she tells Hugo that when he's gone, she'll be all alone. I wanted to console her at that point. She fought so she'd have family but was left alone...It was a brilliant expression of a young girl's vulnerability

keep in mind that Requiem takes place a while after Innocence, after a period of peace with her family, and suddenly her life is "governed by chaos" once again

I like the depth psychological angle in the analysis of Amicia. Well made video otherwise, looking forward to more such videos!

My favorite games of all time.

This game is so perfect, I adore the plot and lore of this world and want more plages tale so badly, it’s gorgeous and quite frankly it reminds me so much of the Witcher 😭❤️

I am looking forward to looking because I'd love to have a deepee dive into Amicia's psyche.

Thank you! What a brillant analysis! Thank you. The psychological talk is the icing on the cake. Have you ever considered a long form of this essay? You stated, you talked to Laura for over three hours...call me crazy, but I would like to hear this talk. :) It is just an idea that came to my mind, because I absolutely fell in love with both games.

Your work is really good, please do make more videos brother

This video was beautifully done and really said my thoughts on the game. WELL DONE.

10/10 would recommend. The Laure cameo was a suprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Amicia = I miss Ya.... 💔💔

Insane essay love bro

I’m sad this is your only video 😢 it was so well done

Fantastic essay! Just subbed.

Underrated

Awesome essay
