Though the game is incredibly linear, guiding you carefully and directly through its narrative, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy is an experience worth being guided through. What surprised me most was how fast, fun, and deadly the game’s combat felt, making every encounter an exhilarating dance that could end just as quickly as it started if I wasn’t...
