Es un videojuego tremendamente simple en su desarrollo y mecánicas, puzzles facilones y a veces algo tediosos, a un paso de ser un walking simulator. Las mejoras en el equipo y habilidades del personaje prácticamente no tienen incidencia real en la acción haciendo que sea poco interesante este aspecto. En mi opinión y por todo lo comentado anteriormente es un juego que acaba haciéndose repetitivo y cuyo casi único aliciente es avanzar en la historia. Es un juego que no recomendaría a todo el mundo pero sí es muy interesante de jugar para salir de dudas. Buen juego.… Expand

    Plagued with.. actually nothing really bad
    A Plague Tale is a stealth puzzle game where you play as Amicia as she sets out to find a cure for her sick little brothr hugo
    Immediately this game reminded me of shadwen,
    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
    I give A Plague Tale: Onnocence

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

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

    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!

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

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.

    All in all A Plague Tale: Innocence is a quite short but entertaining adventure with its highs and lows. However its beautiful graphics and environments are already a valid reason alone to pick this one up, so if you really like rats or enjoy chill achievement hunting, please do so!    … Expand

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

Some cheesy twists, artificial limitations (a bit too linear for my tastes) and minor problems being it down, but this is very close to being a good game worth picking up by nearly everyone. Unless you have a phobia of rats

    It's a good story, but for some reason the game is artificially stretched, which sometimes makes the gameplay tedious.

    An immersive medieval survival horror. Solid characters with an interesting story and decent game mechanics. A fun experience for all.

    narrativa boa, gráficos muito bonitos, mas os personagens não são profundos e são mal aproveitados

    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.
