Just finished Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy — wow, what a game

I love story-driven games like Uncharted, Tomb Raider and God of War, and this game absolutely delivered. Amazing story, fun gameplay, satisfying combat and puzzles that gave me strong Tomb Raider vibes.

Honestly, it felt like everything I’d hoped Hellblade 2 would be. That first reveal alongside the Series X had me imagining an Xbox answer to God of War. I enjoyed the first Hellblade and expected the sequel to build on its combat and puzzles, but ended up disappointed. Resonance gave me that mix of cinematic storytelling and engaging gameplay I’d been looking for.

The combat isn’t God of War-level combo chaining, but the attacks, parries, dodges and upgrades felt really satisfying. Almost like Hellblade mixed with lighter versions of God of War and Tomb Raider.
And visually? What a treat on Series X. The image was so crisp that it felt like I was playing on my PS5 Pro. Gorgeous graphics, distinctive art direction, great sound and some of the best HDR I’ve seen on my LG OLED. I played in the 40 FPS mode and would definitely recommend it if you have a 120 Hz TV.

Overall, an A+ experience for me. What a game.
