Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy's Metacritic score is 78 from critics (57 reviews) and 8.1 from users (133 ratings). Both are rated "Generally Favorable." Platform scores vary, the PC version reaches 85, while PlayStation 5 holds 78.

Critic Score: 78 (Generally Favorable)

The Metascore sits at 78 based on 57 critic reviews. The breakdown is overwhelmingly positive-leaning: 77% positive (44 reviews), 23% mixed (13 reviews), and 0% negative. That's a notably clean reception, no major outlet panned it outright.

Review scores span a wide range. At the top, PlayStation Universe gave a 95 ("shouldn't be missed"), ComicBook a 90, and GIGA an 85. In the middle, Areajugones (80) and Meristation (78) were warm but critical of combat. At the lower end, Wccftech (70) and Eurogamer (60) were more reserved, with Eurogamer critiquing the "trauma porn of its second half."

User Score: 8.1

Players are on the same page: 8.1 out of 10 from 133 user ratings, also "Generally Favorable." The spread is 78% positive (104 ratings), 9% mixed, and 13% negative (17 ratings). User reviews are more polarized than critics, 10/10 praise for graphics, music, and story sits alongside 4/10 complaints that the story is weaker than the first two games and the combat is repetitive.

Platform Score Breakdown

Metacritic splits scores by platform. While the overall Metascore is 78, the breakdown shows variance:

• PC, 85 (based on 38 critic reviews)
• PlayStation 5, 78 (based on 57–58 reviews)
• Another platform, 84 (based on 8 reviews)

The Steam store page badge also displays 85, matching the PC Metascore. In short, the PC version scores notably higher than the PS5 aggregate.

How It Compares to the Series

For context, A Plague Tale: Requiem holds a Metacritic of 82, and Innocence earned similarly strong marks. Resonance's 78 is a slight step down but still lands firmly in the "generally favorable" band. The dip tracks with the recurring criticism: the combat pivot is divisive even when the story and presentation are praised.

What the Scores Mean for You

A 78 Metascore with 0% negative critic reviews means this is a safe pickup for series fans and action-adventure players. The main risk isn't quality, it's taste. If you're open to a combat-focused Plague Tale, you'll likely land on the positive side of that 77%. If you loved the stealth of the first two games, temper expectations.
