Reviews & scores
Critic reviews are split: IGN 6/10, DualShockers 9/10 and MondoXbox 8.5/10 are verified directly. Aggregator scores, verified directly on the official pages on August 31, 2026: Metacritic 78 from 58 critics and OpenCritic 82 ("Strong") from 90 critics. On Steam the game sits at Very Positive, 92% of 1,597 user reviews. The common thread in both camps: the melee combat and Minoan story line are the highlights, while the pacing and repetitious light puzzles draw criticism.
Is it worth it? For series fans and anyone who likes parry-based melee with creative light puzzles, yes; reviewers on both sides call the first half strong and the back half divisive. If you expect the stealth-and-rats survival of the earlier games, this is a different game.

Where Resonance fits in the series
The A Plague Tale series currently spans three games: A Plague Tale: Innocence (2019), A Plague Tale: Requiem (2022), and now Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy (2026). Resonance is a standalone prequel set 15 years before Requiem, starring Sophia, the plunderer who helped Amicia and Hugo in Requiem. It doesn't require prior knowledge, but it recontextualises the series' curse: the "Macula" that infected Hugo and Basilius has an earlier origin on Minoan Crete.
Unlike the stealth-and-rats survival of the earlier games, Resonance is a melee-first action-adventure with parry-based combat and light puzzles. If you're coming from Requiem, expect the atmosphere, but a different fight.
