    Completly mediocre game. Graphics are generally good, but it has stiff characters and animations, the rat swarms and npcs are a joke from an immersion standpoint. Gameplay is uninspired and boring. Gameworld feels like a set piece.

I was playing it 1-2 hours per day and hadn't this feeling that i want to come back. On the contrary, it was making me bored and closer to the end i was playing only just to see the ending.

Its just a decent tale with nothing that interesting. Gameplay could be better that doesnt mean its bad its good but could have been even better. It consists of stealth, walking and puzzles. Stealth is okay its just good old generic automatic stealth and the AI is dumb still it gives you interesting tools every now and then mostly chemical substances that either put out fire or makes rat moves that feels fresh which is great. Still it could be used better because it gets pretty boring and stealth segments are too long and not interesting. There are few enemy types at least cant complain there. The puzzles are more like go here and do this and then go there and do that, you dont even have to think they are too simple and the game even tells you what to do. Very dissapointing. Then there are the walking segments which serve as story telling, some people hate this but I didnt mind here. There are also two bosses and I ve seen worse, I enjoyed them. By the end of the game there were segments where you could use a lot of things for killing guards but you could just go and kill them with rats which felt too easy and not rewarding but I guess the point was to feel super saiyan but why put so much environment elements when you could make it more fun. Also theres upgrade system and for that you use resources which you find in the environment mostly during stealth. Theres a little reward for exploration but most of the time you dont even have to explore because you simply cant you get resources just by walking in a straight line and theres not much hidden somewhere else. So getting upgrades was really easy and you never run out of resources. Upgrades are also pretty unnecessary here theyre not bad in what you get but theyre just small upgrades that you wont care about they dont give advantage and you kinda forget about them in a while and beating game without upgrades feels the same as with them, theres no feeling of progression. Some characters also felt like they were forced to be there and you didnt care about them and story would be better without them. But the main girl Amicia and the little boy are really wel written characters and you feel for them immedately. Overall not a bad game at all, I expected something better because of the praise but I still wasnt dissapointed and its graphically beatiful even tho some side characters or even the main sometimes have weird face animations but it looks really incredible. Soundtrack is amazing but sadly its used so many times it gets really repetitive and theres always track for the same situation over and over and you expect it before it plays and it just gets old which is sad some more tracks in this already amazing soundtrack would make it even better. Personally I couldnt beat myself to play it and I was constantly afking it just didnt grasp me that much dont know why.… Expand

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

    * For me good voice acting, although I've seen that some others like it less
    * Good soundtrack which gives the game a nice ambience
    * Great choice of setting and time-period with lots of potential

    However if you look behind the appealing surface you'll find:

    * A pretty clichéd and predictable plot
    * One dimensional bad guys who are bad because they are bad
    * A ruined accurate medieval setting with the introduction of magic (black death not scary enough for you??)
    * Corridor like world-building which feels very handholdy
    * Stealth mechanics with pretty bad AI and which rely a lot on trial and error to get through
    * Difficultly curve a bit all over the place
    * Unrealistic encounters (scrawny girl with a sling defeat medieval guys in full armor, sure why not)
    * Rushed and repetitive gameplay, rather than exploring the beautiful surroundings, and getting a history lesson, we mostly find ourselves running through it while being chased or hiding from something

    This might also be a personal thing but I didn't find watching over my little brother especially fun, it's much more of a chore where he's constantly trying to get us killed in one way or another. Am I supposed to have some kind of emotional connection to him that makes up for it? Maybe, but he's kind of dumped in our (the players) lap at the beginning and is mostly a hindrance from a game-play perspective. Compare that to A Tale of Two Sons where you actually felt joy when working together and figuring things out as a team, this game is not that. As it is now I think it would have been much better if our brother had been kidnapped and we have to go on a mission throughout the game to rescue him or something like that. Also cliché perhaps but for me it would have been better than what we have now.

    So it's all a bit of a mess really and the tone of the game is pretty inconsistent. They picked a great setting and time-period if you ask me, there's black death and English knights coming into France. If you can't make a story out of that setting you have problems. But apparently that wasn't enough for them so they felt they needed to ruin an accurate medieval setting an introduce magic, shame. Then instead of enjoying what's left of the setting (or make some kind of magic mystery out it) we're mostly being chased through it, and we have to constantly look after our kid brother which is more of chore than anything.

    So essentially it's a pretty repetitive, and not very smart, corridor stealth game in which we're being chased by one-dimensional bad guys. We also don't learn anything much about the cool medieval setting and we also have to baby-sit our sick little brother who isn't exactly cooperative most of the time. Does that sound like fun to you? Then go ahead I suppose, for me it felt more like work than fun.

    If they make a second one I suggest dropping the babysitting chores, then slow the game down and take some time to actually explore the setting and history. And maybe at least try to give the bad guys some motivation for being bad... how hard can it be?    … Expand

    So... the flattest, most drab story and characters. The only thing that allows it to be mediocre is that the ambience is kinda cool and pretty, if you ignore the rest.

    Then, gameplay is fairly mediocre as well. Basically stealth plus slingshot, which is mostly autokill if you have the right projectile equipped.

    The combat isn't fun, it's clunky and unintuitive. The stealth is boring and the AI is stupid. The crafting and looting aspects are shallow and feel like an afterthought. Much of the animation is stiff and jarring. While some of the level design is great, most of it is dull and forgettable.

    But I still honestly enjoyed the experience overall because of this game's narrative and the high-points of its production quality: I want to see a feature-length animated or live action version, it would work much better in that medium.    … Expand

    This almost felt like a more polished AAA budget successor
    The game takes place during the plague, there are rats everywhere and guards for some reason that’s up to you to find out trying to capature your little brother
    This is a 12hours tale full of emotion and great story telling
    Im so happy to see games wit ha narrative focus still thriving in a gaming world all about online and loot boxes
    The narrative here pulls you along and is the highlight of this game for me..
    I always love it that no matter how frustrated or over a section of a game I get that there a good story that’s pulling me forward to see whats next..
    Thankfully a plague tale isn’t full of frustrating moments
    This game isn’t challenging one bit, however it still manages to be engaging,
    Its no walk through the park, you have to distract guards and use fire to get your way through the sea of rats
    You aren’t completely defensless though, you’ve got a sling
    You can gather materials throughout the world to craft different items for this sling, you have a rock that can be used to distract guards or head shot them and as the game progress youll unlock new abilities such as setting fire to burnable object to scare the rats just to name a few…
    This adds a styx or even a dishonored layer of theres more than one solution to moving onto the next section of the game
    and chckpoints here are great, so youll rarely have to redo large sections of the game if you fail..
    And thankfull A plague tale does a great job of keeping the environment fresh as well as the gameplay, however this is where my biggest issue with the game comes into play,
    A plague world goes for a tense feel rather than a fun kids creating mischief feel which is fine…
    This means that you cant just run through the game crafting whatever whenever…
    you need materials to upgrade your arsnel and certain materials are scarce
    These items are more for I have no other option…
    but this also means that 12 hours of stealth can get taxing…
    A plague tale doesn’t suffer from pacing problems, in fact it does a great job most of the time at giving you a break from the action to just enjoy story pieces and sets.. but I would’ve liked more of this… more slow walk, talk, enjoy the plague moments…
    All in all A plague Tale Innocence is a unique experience set in an intriguing world with a well written and directed story guaranteed to keep you hooked

Its a beautiful game to look at, its has a great atmosphere, intriguing story, fairly interesting characters, but like many other games that of Plague Tale's nature that have come out in last decade, it somewhat struggles in remembering that it needs to provide a gameplay experience with reasonable depth, and rather chases the all too common linear, ''cinematic'' game trend instead with a rather basic gameplay approach. But, thankfully, its still many miles away from being a glorified walking/cutscene simulator.

    There are some combat gameplay mechanics, but they come down just to the sling, which uses auto lock on, and the evasion mechanics which allow you to take out certain enemies. Beyond the combat, there are the puzzles that dont require much brain work, made even easier by the developers by using the hand holdy white paint trope, to make it painfully obvious how they should be tackled, the paint cant be turned off sadly, but to be honest a few of the puzzles can be somewhat enjoyable. Then there is stealth, over reliant on the ''hiding in the tall grass'' gimmick thats so prevalent across this generation's games that involve stealth gameplay, aswell as using throwable objects to distract guards and other enemies. Though it can be interesting as you sometimes need to evade enemies not just by your self, but also with Hugo, Amicia's brother, it can get a bit tense at those times. At times youre also encouraged to explore the game world when youre not in danger and travel through more open areas. The huge amount of rats on screen not just looks impressive from a technical and visual stand point, but also is interesting to interact with during gameplay. Its pretty fun through out the game to use the light as a counter measure against the rats and to see how they scramble.

    As you play the game, you can tell that the developers really were passionate with its development, with devs themselves being french, its not suprising of course. There is a lot of attention to detail put into recreating the medieval french setting and making it feel believable. You visit and go through plenty of gorgeous looking places and environments, aswell as locations that show off that life back in those times was far from sunshine and roses.

    Story was kinda interesting, with the whole deal surrounding the plague and how Amicia's and Hugo's family is directly tied to it. With Amicia being from a royal like family, having been raised and kept in a relatively safe environment, it was engrossing to observe how Amicia adapts and evolves as she is forced into a dire situation, with her previous life suddenly collapsing, and having to take care of her little brother in a world that has gone to utter sh*t. You meet some reasonably compelling side characters as you play, few of whom will join your party of misfits. The antagonists in the game however didnt feel that enticing to me, they felt rather cliche. That also translated into the boss battles where you face them, they didnt feel all that exciting, final boss fight, especially, got on my nerves. While not necessarily tied to story side of qualities, the english voice acting was prettty well done across the board, especially for Amicia and Hugo.

    The game has a healthy length, it runs well if you have a somewhat decent PC and in the end i can say that i surely had a good time with it, its a very good game, just shy of greatness in my opinion.    … Expand

    A solid undertaking. Everything is at least adequate, but most of the time it goes into excellent territory.

    I think that this is truly a unique game and I would recommend that if you are a fan of this type of genre then I think you should give this game a try.

    Plague Tale: Innocence is an Action/Stealth/Adventure game that focuses mainly on 2 protagonists, Amicia and her little brother Hugo. The game takes place in the country of France, during the 14th century. A great war has broken out and on top of that a strange disease involving hordes of rabid mice trying to devour anything in their path.

The game takes place in the country of France, during the 14th century. A great war has broken out and on top of that a strange disease involving hordes of rabid mice trying to devour anything in their path.
    The story focuses mainly on the 2 protagonists and especially Hugo who was born affected by an ancient curse. His sister Amicia along with him, start their journey with the hope of finding the cure. The chemistry between them is decent - there are some points in game where the dialogue can become a little bit cringe but it remains an honest effort. The plot manages to keep your interest along the way for sure.
    Regarding the game's structure and then its gameplay, Plague Tale: Innocence is quite simple. You have the story which progresses through small cut scenes each time - the cut scenes end, you enter the new chapter and from there on you proceed accordingly. The level design is straight forward since we are talking about a structure that is perhaps the most linear thing I have played in a single player game in recent years! In this one, you don't have 2 and 3 paths as we are used to have in the most modern games these days - but only 1. I would really like to have more variety when it comes to this matter but it is what it is.
    Now, as far as the variety of weapons and equipment, unfortunately the game shows its weaknesses there as well. The ONLY weapon during the entire game is a slingshot which has only a few upgrades to run with. For example: fire pellets, poison pellets etc. - you get the idea. Literally, there is nothing else to experience when it comes to combat or playstyle!
    This results to each new battle feel more and more poor or even monotonous as you keep progressing through the game. Sadly even until the last chapter, it does not change or add anything fresh to it.
    Technically, the game runs flawlessly. I played it on PC at 3k resolution with everything set to Ultra and apart from my FPS being consistently over 60 - I didn't see the slightest bit of stuttering. As for glitches and bugs, I encountered 2-3 points that required the well-known "load to last checkpoint" but beyond that, nothing else. The better the technical field, the better the graphics. Plague Tale: Innocence's graphics are really close to those of photorealism. I stopped to look at the scenery and textures so many times, i lost count. Simply stunning!
    Soundtrack wise the game doesn't have anything crazy but it works as it should, when it should. On the other hand the audio design and quality of the game is where it excels - in combination with its atmosphere, it's a chef's kiss.

    Overall, the game is good with decent characters and an interesting story to tell! For sure it has its weaknesses, it's not something revolutionary or something that will go down in history (not that it needs to be anything like that anyway) - but for the 8-10 hours it lasted, i had fun with it.    … Expand

The combat was pretty fun (never played a game where using a slingshot felt so satisfying) but there weren't that many enemy varieties. The puzzles in my opinion was one of the worst aspects in this game, they just felt incredibly samey, tedious and barely requiring any thinking. The human AI was bad and very buggy in most parts while the Rat's AI was pretty good and fun to dick around with. The game is not that long but there isn't that good of a story to make you want to finish it. The Voice acting for Hugo and most of the other characters was pretty great but for the main heroine it was just pretty awful, the VA barely showed any emotion when some **** up **** were happening around her and she felt incredibly bland when speaking (almost like she was bored to be there) which ruined like a lot of scenes in the game.
    Overall it was an ok game but I would suggest getting it while it's on sale, there were also a decent amount of bugs that can make you restart to the last checkpoints (hell even at the start some of the characters were missing their arms lmao).    … Expand

    Really cool game, I loved how scary the rats were. And making paths through the hordes was really cool. The story and characters are solid, but not amazing imo. I wish there were more true fighting parts like the one that happens near the start of the game. For the most part it's just stealth. Really hoping for a sequel as I'll feel they'll take this experience and perfect it next time.

    I'm torn about whether the game is a bit overrated or not, decide for it, yes it is, but still recommend it.

    The mixture of stealth and action is convincing, puzzles are kept quite simple. The story is actually pretty good, but towards the end it drifts too much in the direction of fantasy botch. It's probably a matter of taste, a "WOW, how brilliant!" but it didn't get me.    I'm torn about whether the game is a bit overrated or not, decide for it, yes it is, but still recommend it.

    Graphically and sound-wise, the game is quite well done (especially the soundtrack), but the characters' faces look more like wooden dolls if you look closely. Facial animations could also be a bit livelier, for a (still) quite current game the whole thing looks very old-fashioned.
    Very negative:
    Bugs and glitches: fortunately, this rarely occurs, but sometimes a script event does not occur, which means that the puzzle cannot be solved. If this happens, you have to reload the last checkpoint and the error is fixed. Even glitch figures sometimes wildly up and down, it's not a broken leg, but it looks ugly.
    I really don't liked the final fight. On the one hand because it was designed quite unimaginatively, on the other hand because of the design decision that when calling up the weapon wheel, a slow motion is not triggered as usual and thus makes the fight unnecessarily difficult. That could have been done a lot better.
    Conclusion:
    In the end a nice story driven game, not really good but certainly not really bad.
    But entertaining!

The premise was interesting and the first chapters felt genuinely sad, but unfortunately the plot falls short in the later parts of the game. After everything from rat tornadoes to characters that make amazingly dumb decisions, it is safe to say that the game really shines the most during its first half.

    The gameplay consists mostly of stealth and light puzzle-solving sections, where you use lights and shadows to create a path to safety. There were some hiccups along the way, but for the most part these puzzles were easy but entertaining enough. As for the stealth and possible combat sections there isn't much depth to them and there sure were times when the enemies were either too inquisitive or blind as bats. However, these hiccups were quite few and far between, so I wouldn't claim that I wasn't entertained. Just don't expect anything groundbreaking.

    A Plague Tale Innocence ist ein Single-Story-Adventure Spiel mit der USK16.
    Das Spiel gibt es auf PS4,XBOX One, PC und ist aktuell in dem Gamepass erhalten.
    Meine Spielzeit belief sich auf 9h.
    35 Errungenschaften sind zu bekommen

    Handlung:
    In A Plague Tale Innocence geht es um die beiden Geschwister Amicia und Hugo. Zusammen versuchen sie vor der Inquisition zu fliehen. Das Spiel spielt im düsteren 14. Jahrhundert und handelt teils von der Pest in Frankreich. Hugo leidet seit seiner Geburt an einer Krankheit. Die Mutter der beiden versucht durch Alchemie die Krankheit von Hugo zu heilen. Im Verlauf des Spiels trifft man auf Verbündete die einem durch die feurigen und krabbeligen Passagen helfen.

    Gameplay(Controller):
    Das Gameplay holt einen schnell ab. Man hat kaum Probleme und weiß welche Aktion auf welchem Knopf folgt. Die Charaktere machen das was man ihnen vorgibt. Während des Spiels kann man Gegenstände einsammeln. Die Kameraposition ist größtenteils perfekt. Das HUD ist schnell zu verstehen und drängt sich nicht in den Vordergrund.
    Selbst das Verbessern von Gegenständen wie Tasche oder Schleuder versteht man ohne Probleme.
    Bugs oder Probleme sind nicht aufgetaucht.

    Sound:
    Die von Olivier Deriviere komponierten Soundtracks zu A Plague Tale Innocence passen zu dem Spielstil. Sie sind Individuell zu den Situationen die man während des Spiels durchläuft.

    Grafik:
    Die Grafik ist für das Spiel passend gewählt. Es passt sich dem 14. Jahrhundert an und kommt keineswegs Falsch rüber. Die Charaktere passen sich der Umgebung an und wirken nicht deplatziert.

    Fazit:
    Geschwister Single-Story-Adventure Spiel Feurige Passagen und krabbelige Rätsel im Stil des 14.Jahrhundert. Sound und Grafik passen. Das Ende fühlte sich ziemlich überrumpelnd an und man hat das Gefühl, dass das Spiel schnell sein Ende finden sollte. Das Ende war nicht perfekt dennoch ist das Spiel zu empfehlen. 100% Run ist für mich nicht relevant.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was a really good point up until the point Hugo your little brother gets "captured". This point in the game was so unclear and so badly written which confuses me because the game up until that point was great. So many games do this thing where they get the kid to turn against the family member and its dumb.

    Anyway Huge gets captured and locked in the cage by the enemy who you been fighting and killing the hole game. You rescue him for him to then run away and willingly hand himself over to the enemy because he believes they have has mother. Bearing in mind no evidence supports this theory other then he heard his mother scream from what must have been several miles away or this was just some weird dream state you were in?

    So Hugo ofcourse finds his mum but fails to escape with her. You can control rats now aswell which I also thought made the game boring. I enjoyed the puzzling part of finding your way round the rats but now its just killing people and nothing else. 1 month later he tries to kill his sister (You) because Hugo also guessed from 0 evidence that you weren't telling him that his mum was alive this hole time. So Hugo after this dumb moment where Hugo wants to kill you, you give him a hug and all is forgotten. Literally never mentioned again.
    The final boss was also hugely disappointing. Every enemy in the game is 1 shot headshot but the boss is 3 shot headshot? The hole fight consists of 3 minutes and was just underwhelming. You don't find the origin of the rats or why Hugo is the way he is.
    After killing him he doesn't have a mark on his face from 3 rocks being stuck in his head?

    The game overall doesn't run great unless you enable vsync even thou I was getting like 100 frames and my monitor has a 165 refresh rate and freesync? I didn't mind this thou cos the style of game is fun at a smooth 60.

    The game was really good up until it got towards the end. I was really enjoying it but it just nose dived off a cliff. It would have been better if Hugo got captured and you failed to help him. They then try threaten him with his mother which is how he finds out she lives. Hugo gets overwhelmed by the situation he then discovers he can control the rats at they come bursting out through the floors aiding him and his mums escape.
    That's just how I would have done it as its consistent with the story and it doesn't have Hugo magickly knowing everything.    … Expand

    It is a good game with a good different story, but not spectacular.
    The truth is that the gameplay is very basic and sometimes even boring.

    Nothing to complain about the graphics, they are beautiful.

    TLOU in medieval France. Fun story but the gameplay feels too restrictive; not enough options.

    A cool story and an insane cinematographic direction in my opinion. would've prefer the gameplay to focus more on the infiltration part because the other part are ok but clearly not as good. the character outside of Hugo and Amicia are touching but not as memorable . WIll probably do Requiem in the Future tho.

    It hits a spot or two but it's generally quite a boring experience. I imagine it's very enjoyable for people who enjoy on-rails cinematic games like Uncharted, Hellblade, Last of Us etc.

    I really enjoyed this game, the graphics are beautiful and played it in french so it added some to my immersion. The main caracthers are all rigth and the gameplay is easy enough, really enjoyed the fragility sentiment offered by the weapons given to us. Would not play again though, it misses that special something that great games have

    If you like chill and adventure games, this game is for you. The Graphics, the characters and the music, is just great.

    But for me... I just couldn't finish it. Because am not a big fan of this type of games. The story is super slow and the gameplay is kinda repetitive, so I just got bored of it quick.

    Note: if you are afraid of RATS ... DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.

    A plague tale have a beatiful graphics and beatiful art. But the gameplay is not that good, the system of aim are slow, the puzzles are not that good too. Doesnt have enough mechanics to kill enemies. Not enough stealth mechanics. simple puzzles, but works. Boss fights are bad, IA is not that good. Nice history and good "storytelling" and the actors are amazing, mainly Amicia and Hugo. TheA plague tale have a beatiful graphics and beatiful art.

    It was a good game. Rat mechanics was fine. Amicia got her upgrades pretty fast at some point. However, game was too long when i think about the gameplay. We are limited to discover environment and the design wasn't that appealing. Graphics were nice and puzzles were sometimes challenging. Overall, I can reccomend the game to anyone because it is easy to play and it has a good story.

    I reached for A Plague Tale Innocence mainly because the game takes place in medieval times, and I'm a big enthusiast of anything set in it.

The plague theme really fit into 14th century France, and the story drew me in immediately. Each of the characters (with maybe the exception of the Mother) is really well written and stands out from the rest, the game is also not afraid to get rid of them in a violent way while we manage to get attached to them, which I consider a big plus. Unfortunately my final opinion was diminished by the finale, in my opinion it was completely absurd and crudely ended several of the interestingly promising storylines.
    As for the gameplay, it is based mainly on sneaking and dodging the multitude of rats trying to devour us. There are also occasional puzzles and combat. While the puzzles, although not among the most difficult, shooting with a slingshot at the heads of subsequent guards is not one of the most enjoyable activities, it is definitely more pleasant to use it to overcome successive obstacles preventing us from going further. The game includes minimalist character development consisting in upgrading the equipment Amicia has at her disposal. However, it doesn't make much sense because the initial upgrades don't give us much of an advantage, and those that might seem interesting we either get so late that we won't be able to use them, or we won't manage to get them at all in the first playthrough, and since the game is definitely story-driven I don't see the point in going through the game a second time in the new game plus mode. Although the developers didn't have too big a budget, the graphics in the game are done really well and don't differ from AAA titles from a similar period, but you have to remember that the game is very straightforward and we won't see huge open areas here, most of the action takes place after dusk, which can also cleverly hide shortcomings.
    To sum up, the game has a solid storyline worth getting acquainted with, and although the gameplay may not be one of the most enjoyable, it does not hinder us from getting to know the plot, and it also has its better moments. The game is definitely worth attention especially for players who, like me, like the climate of medieval times.    … Expand

    This title does a lot right. The world building and visuals are immersing. I found the story somewhat predictable and some sequences repetitive and frustrating. Apart from a few issues, a solid entry.

    Great voice acting and visuals but Incomplete gameplay, boring level design in general, simplicity of puzzles and insufficient boss battles prevent the game from being special for me.

    It's unlikely Innocence will lead to an epidemic of similarly snappy games, but we'd love this particular contagion to catch on. [Issue#341, p.116]

    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.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence makes a commendable effort to mask its somewhat routine gameplay, and in the end, it wins you over with captivating atmosphere, great music, likeable main characters and nice visuals. If you like cinematic games, this stroll through Dark Ages is worth it.
