In my short review of the predecessor I wanted to express how superficial the entire game remains in the end. Requiem, on the other hand, manages to add more depth while focusing even more on setpieces and action. What was supposed to be more banal is instead the backdrop for the overall better gameplay experience. Surprising!

Requiem has a bit of trouble with its pacing, especially at the beginning the sequences are repetitive and in the middle the game takes out an immense amount of speed. However, especially compared to the predecessor, the world and of course the characters seem far more natural and complex. It's kind of a shame that the main story is more or less over with Requiem, because I still have the feeling that more is possible with this world. But what we got is an all-around better game than its predecessor.
