    A Plague Tale: Innocence is all about surviving in an odious and decadent medieval Aquitaine, using your wits. The gorgeous art design and taut, realistic writing make for a heart-wrenching juxtaposition to its rat-infested underbelly and a journey that you'll not soon forget.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a superb stealth adventure with excellent gameplay, gorgeous presentation, and a fantastic story that shows how the worst of what the world can throw at humanity can bring out the worst of it.

    We’ve got another outstanding adventure game. It’s not without technical flaws, but delivers a pleasant impression. Perhaps the next game of the studio will become a real gem.

    The scene of crossing a battlefield, with hundreds of lifeless bodies piled over each other, only to see a swarm of rats bursting out of a horse’s bloated corpse is just one of multiple sights that A Plague Tale: Innocence inevitably etches into your mind. Although its stealth and puzzle mechanics aren’t exactly fresh, having what’s, quite possibly, the most powerful representation of the Black Death in the medium, even if stylized, is reason enough to see Amicia and Hugo’s journey to its end.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence features excellent narrative and atmosphere, but the gameplay is a little bit dull.

    At no point did I truly dislike Plague Tale. Quite the contrary. It almost never fails to give you something new to think about or look at, even if you tend to be doing the same three or four things while doing so. The art and environment design is on par with or exceeds some of 2019’s biggest budget titles, and while its core gameplay wears thin by the end, Plague Tale never seems to run out of unique scenarios to throw you into.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a stunningly beautiful, and finely-crafted… ok. It's an ok stealth/action-adventure, with ok characters and drama, and oceans of rats that add an ok survival horror vibe to it. Certainly a fun title, but not exactly a big recommendation.

    То что хочется похвалить: Графика, сеттинг, сюжет и геймплей(От него я ожидал намного меньшего. Но я удивился тому как он постоянно меняется, разнообразие методов убийства и другое делает геймплей крайне крутым и разнообразным).
    Также хочется сказать что игра очень красивая. В фоторежиме я сделал не мало снимков.    … Expand

    Тот редкий случай, когда малоизвестная игра от неизвестных разработчиков, дающая большую фору играм уровня AAA, не имела сотен миллионов бюджета и раскрученной рекламной кампании, но стала самой запоминающейся в 2019 году.
    В A Plague Tale: Innocence великолепно всё: отличная современная графика с хорошей оптимизацией дополнены крайне качественной атмосферной музыкой и общим звуковым окружением. И конечно же гвоздь номера - потрясающий сюжет. Тут просто нет слов - это надо видеть, слышать, чувствовать, в это надо играть.
    Настоятельно рекомендую всем ознакомиться с этим, не побоюсь это слова, шедевром.    … Expand

    The majority of the game is a linear stealth challenge with light puzzle mechanics. Both literally light, and figuratively, most of theThe majority of the game is a linear stealth challenge with light puzzle mechanics. Both literally light, and figuratively, most of the puzzles involve manipulating light sources. None of the puzzles are particularly challenging, and there's not much of a sense of jeopardy as the light sources permanently stave off the danger. However, occasionally, the game rises to a frenetic pace and that's when it's really in its element as you have to respond quickly to stay safe.

    Combat is best avoided until some late game items/skills are achieved and the boss fights are pretty lacklustre generally. When you do have cause to fight, you typically are trying to achieve one solid whack to the head with the slingshot, however, there are number of ways to achieve that.

    For the most part you have an AI companion following you around, the game didn't really capitalise on all it could with that. They are part of the world, if they get into trouble you have to save them, if you leave them alone too long they make noise. However, there were very few opportunities for either of those things to happen.

    Aspects of the story have impactful moments are easy to invest in. However, once it ventures into the main plot with the end boss it goes off the rails a bit.    … Expand
