    Great storytelling, fun, short, casual. Rare thing to see such a good combination. Like a stripped-down Lara Croft.

    The storyline is gripping and often times tense and suspenseful. The combat is top-notch and the puzzle elements are deceptively challenging. The voice acting is also superb, with a wide range of emotions and tones that help to make the story come to life.

    Pros:

    The level design is great.

    The story is fine

    The graphics are decent

    Cons:

    I am personally not a fan of younger children as characters with the exception of Clementine in The Walking Dead, there's nothing I relate to with them and I find them obnoxious.

    The combat can feel scripted as there's only one or two ways to deal with an enemy.

    Plague Tales are my favourite games of all time. From someone who has played 35+ story games including RDR2, both Norse GOD of Wars, horizon zero dawn, all three Assassins creed RPGs etc. Great presentation and the most heartfelt and emotional story with the most beautifully written, acted and designed characters I've experienced.

    Also I consider these survival games rather than stealth games

    The story is so important in such a game as this and it does fall short in some departments, the last act is very rushed i hate when so many games do this and its so noticeable.
    The graphics are amazing tho, and the level design is almost everytime put so well together i wouldn t even need a guide.

    приятный и интересный сюжет с обычными, но всё равно запоминающимися персонажами, очень красивая графика, геймплей не самый навороченный, но может немного заинтересовать, хоть и приедается, отличная музыка

    Jogo com elementos de stealth e resolução de puzzles, o elemento principal desse jogo é movimentação dos ratos e a mecânica da luz que é daora, alguns elementos de stealth não são tão aprimorados, porém esse jogo indie tem uma historia muito boa e protagonistas profundos.

    Nota Final: 8,4

El principal fuerte de este tipo de juegos es su historia, aunque en este caso el apartado técnico, sin ser un triple A, es tambien excelente. Nos entregan un producto perfectamente pulido en cuanto a acabado y optimización. Totalmente disfrutable, sin errores, de principio a fin. Con un bello y detallado apartado gráfico que muestra la Edad Media francesa con todo detalle, y un control sencillo e intuitivo que implementa mecánicas muy cuidadas en las que sobresale el sigilo, la resolución de puzzles y un testimonial combate que será de utilidad solo en contadas ocasiones, puesto que pelear contra caballeros pesados con armadura, siendo una muchacha adolescente, no es precisamente realista.

    El juego se centra en Amicia, una joven noble que vive feliz en su chateau con sus padres, un señor feudal de bajo rango, pero con tierras y vasallos a su cargo, su madre, una eminente médico y alquimista y su joven hermano Hugo, enfermo de un extraño mal del que no saben practicamente nada, al menos en apariencia. Un día, soldados de la inquisición hacen aparición en su casa y matan a todos, la madre le encarga a Amicia que se lleve a Hugo y lo proteja hasta llegar a la casa de un alquimista que le dirá que es lo que tiene que hacer. La inquisición tiene interés en el chaval y no dejará de perseguirlo hasta haberlo apresado. Aqui, pues, comenzará nuestra aventura en pos de la cura del chaval. En el camino conoceremos a nuestros aliados y enemigos y la oscura motivación de estos últimos.

    Mención especial merecen los ‘combates’, por llamarlos de algún modo, con las ratas. Los efectos de las oleadas de ratas que lo infestan todo es espectacular. Como se mueven al unísono,pareciendo un verdadero mar negro, los cientos de pares de ojos rojos que brillan en la oscuridad al acecho de que abandones la luz para devorarte sin remilgos y los ingeniosos puzzles que el juego propone para librarse de ellas o bien utilizarlas como aliadas involuntarias.

    Si te gustan los juegos cinemáticos, con una historia de película detrás, A Plague Tale: Innocence es un buen candidato para pasar un fin de semana muy entretenido. Su duración, entre las 12 y 14 horas que nos ha llevado a nosotros es más que suficiente para este tipo de juegos. Además disfrutarás de un juego con una calidad de triple A sin serlo, con un acabado gráfico impecable y un control pulido y con mecánicas variadas. Recomendado. A por la segunda parte.    … Expand

    The game is simply amazing. Amicia finds herself in a desperate situation, the game takes place during the inquisition and the black death, the main character's family is facing hard times being chased by soldiers, and her little brother, Hugo, has some mystery running through his blood, all this while hundreds of thousands of rats are loose in the place killing everyone.

    A Plague Tale:    The game is simply amazing. Amicia finds herself in a desperate situation, the game takes place during the inquisition and the black death, the main character's family is facing hard times being chased by soldiers, and her little brother, Hugo, has some mystery running through his blood, all this while hundreds of thousands of rats are loose in the place killing everyone.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence has a graphic style that will leave anyone jaw-dropped, the entire universe of the game is beautiful, the characters, buildings, forests, and the entire environment, all accompanied by an impeccable soundtrack that leaves the player even more immersed in what is happening.

    Its story is the strong point, the game is completely based on it being very linear, so many will not like the pace of the game, slower and with many cutscenes. I found it incredible, the development of the characters is remarkable during the course of the journey. The innocence, presented in the title can be perceived in several moments, such as when Hugo comes across certain common things, but which are completely new experiences for him. Amicia also evolves a lot; at the beginning of the game, when she kills the first person, the character feels the weight of taking someone's life, but as the game progresses, she realizes that this is the only way to survive in the midst of this chaos. There was only one point that I didn't like in the story, I thought it would be more realistic until the end, however it takes a more fantasy direction especially in the final fight. But this is just my personal taste, nothing that would hinder the game.

    The gameplay itself is pretty simple, Amicia has to protect her brother and all she has in hand is her slingshot, a gift from her father. The game has its major focus on stealth but with moments in which it will be necessary to choose combat. New mechanics are added as time goes by, Amicia discovers new techniques with the characters, which guarantees a variety in the gameplay so as not to make it tiresome. Throughout the story some puzzles are presented to the player, none of them are very complex, some may require a certain moment of reflection but nothing difficult. It is presented to the player a mechanic to improve some skills of Amicia, their upgrades are interesting and to achieve them you use materials, the same necessary for the creation of ammunition for your slingshot, making the player has to be cautious of them not to spend all and run out of upgrades or ammunition at important moments.

    Besides the main story the game contains a mechanic that was my favorite, Hugo's herbarium, you can find flowers during your walk and he will put in Amicia's hair, creating very cute moments that generate a greater attachment to the characters.

    Coclusion, the game is amazing, it has a very good story and satisfying gameplay, I loved the character voices (I played in French) and overall it's a work of art. If you like story-focused games do yourself a favor and play it.    … Expand

    The game is cut into several chapters, which felt like reading through a good novel set during 1300s France.

    Playing into the 13 hours of Plague, I found it felt wrong to play the game on one sitting because of its heavily written plot. I took time and rest between chapters and close the game and continue on the next day or week, because it felt right to process the events and enjoy the characters. I found the storytelling similar to The Last of Us (the first one) through the conversations between the siblings, Amicia and Hugo – and a little bit of the awkwardness and humor of God of War’s Kratos and Atreus.

    The environment and story entail Skyrim village meets Game of Thrones political devices, with TLOU crafting system and stealth. The characters eventually meet a set of friends along the way around their same age. It felt appropriate that no adults became part of the main characters because everyone had their skill to offer.

    Graphics are stunning. For someone sporting an RX570, this game had no hiccups and looked like I played on its best. Maybe the linear storyline and limited environment were utilized to be inclusive of older GPUs but I had no worries playing it despite my aged GPU. Characters were designed beautifully, similar to Square Enix designs in their faces. My only issue was that Amicia, the main playable character, wore braids. I thought it’s becoming too much of the female MC standard among this generation’s games; see Lightning (FFXIII) and Aloy (Horizon: Zero Dawn).

    Hugo de Rune, the sickly younger brother who the main character is not close with, is the first adorable younger kid in a game I’ve seen. He may be whiny sometimes, but it was logical and right for his age, minus the bursts of annoy.

    On another hand, orchestra music fit the French Inquisition well of the 1300s, with everything available for casual strolling and combat. I found it jived along similar to TLOU’s beautiful scoring while exploring the limited environment of the villages, churches, farms, and plague-ridden rat worlds.

    On the con side, combat is not the strong suit of Plague because of its repetitiveness and some mechanics not being used up all in the end. I just wished most of the combat mechanics and materials are introduced earlier on rather than learning the alchemy of it all by the chapter.

    I enjoyed Plague Tale: Innocence enough to say that this felt like a complete game. Even if the sequel is out and I might soon play, I thought that the whole of Innocence is a historical stealth-action masterpiece for its time and genre.

    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.
