    It was quite enjoyable for the most part. I'm really excited about the next sequel. A few bugs made the experience a little harder. Other than these, I loved the German dub. Better than English, I'd say.

    A pretty great story. The ending boss fight can get a little irritating but a very solid concept and lots of rats.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence | 2019 | PC | Played for: 12h

    The very definition of an average game. Not a waste of time but neither is it a solid recommendation. The graphics and the environment and atmosphere are good, but the stiff animations and somewhat non-fitting gameplay are quickly breaking any immersion. The story is fairly original. If anything, worth checking out to see France

    Haven't player the whole way through yet. But can say that the story, gameplay and mechanics are way ahead of other recent AAA games. After being disappointed by Rage 2, this was a breath of fresh air.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence could have used more high quality facial animations and better-than-serviceable gameplay, but these shortcomings ultimately cannot trump its impressive atmosphere and technical achievements.

    For an Indie game visuals are good enough. Story is ok but a bit boring at places. Most memorable elements are rats and overall environments and atmosphere. Some of the characters are really memorable as well. Overall it’s a pretty solid experience.

    It was a really good experience with good visuals and a very sensitive narrative, but the duration of the game in some point near the end breaks the mood of the gameplay thinking about where is the end. The puzzles and the stealh mix of gameplay works but a less lineal approach would have been more ejoyable to the player.

    We got good story, interesting setting and cool atmosphere of France at 1300s. But also we got bad gameplay. I can't play in this game. Developer just take ALL bad thing that can be in gameplay and mix it. Better watch it on youtube or somewhere else. 7/10 and only becouse of atmosphere.
    It's good like movie but bad like game.

    Nice game with a good atmosphere and story.
    I really wanted to find out how the story ended so this game has cost me some sleep.. And now I know and I will probably never play it again. There's no difficulty setting and no real choices, so replay-value is zero to none.
    The game is beautiful. Acting, voice-acting, graphics and sound are all great! The game-play is good but not all that

    This game has astonishing graphics, a great soundtrack, a nice gameplay. Recommend for players which like immersive games. The mid-end of game get a little lost in terms of history and gameplay: the puzzles and rats challenges gets very odd and the history doesnt close very well, but fits. I give it a 8.0 Great.

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.

Creo que en verdad que la intención de los desarrolladores en poder vivir una de las muchas historias que se dieron en esa época mezclando a su vez realismo con ficción. En resumen A Plague Tale: Innocence podría ser uno de esos Indies que pasan desapercibidos pero creo que al ser tan ajustado y plantear todos sus valores de una forma tan adecuada ha podido destacar por encima de otros títulos. En mi caso me ha gustado mucho y creo que siempre lo tendré en mente cuando piense en aquella época que vivió Europa con las Peste Negra. Muy recomendado. Expand

Yes, the developers tried to add new mechanics as the story goes on by giving the player some new toys, but the problem is - it's all about throwing different stuff at different objects, that's it. No puzzles, no weapons except of Amicia's sling, no interesting interactions with companions and the worst of all - closer to the end they turned it into a bad action game. This part is not that long, but it's really frustrating because of how aiming works. Since it's meant for consoles, you have auto aim, so it's not challenging at all. Well, sometimes it is, but not because it requires some skill, but because mentioned auto aim decides to drop it's target sometimes, and if it happens, the game counts it as a missed shot even though the stone flies right through the enemie's head. It doesn't spoil the game completely as the plot is still great, but it harms the overall experience.
    It doesn't mean that pure stealth sections are flawless though. The guards are, guess what, blind and partially deaf. When you roam thorough high grass that doesn't cover you at all and make a lot of noise and even whisper, one have to be a legendary retard to not spot you, it just breaks the immersion.
    The other annoying thing is resources and how the need of them interrupts storytelling sometimes. Like you have a pretty dramatic scene, but you ruin it yourself by running all around like an idiot trying to find another piece of leather, great.

    So, yeah, in the end it feels like you have to dig through average and sometimes annoying gameplay just to get a new portion of well written story. With that good graphics, sound and script It could have been a really good interactive movie, but we got what we got.

    I'd give it it 7.5, but since I have to chose between yellow 7 and green 8, I'll give it 8.

Grafikler gerçekten şahane. Oynanış olarak ise genel itibari ile basit bulmacalar çözüyoruz. Elimizdeki sapanla ateş yakabiliyoruz , ateşi söndürebiliyoruz , fareleri çağırabiliyoruz... Bu çeşitlilikte oyundaki bulmacalarla birleşince güzel bir deneyim sunuyor fakat bir süre sonra benzer işler yapmaktan mütevellit sıkılmaya başlıyorsunuz. Bölümlerde daha fazla mekanik çeşitlilik sağlanabilirdi. Loot olayı bu oyunda da var ve ben her ne kadar loot olayını sevmesem de bu oyunda çok güzel olmuş. Müzikler olarak gerçekten çok iyi iş çıkarmışlar. Sonuç olarak elimizde hikaye sunumu ve karakterlerin işlenişi açısından çok güzel bir oyun var.

    I absolutely loved this game! It runs and looks beautiful, and it has a great story to go along with it! I Would have given this game a 10/10 if it wasn't for the fact that the stealth was somewhat tedious. Also this game is hard to replay because of how linear the game is. Besides those small issues I loved playing through this game!

    Стоит еще отметить, что сам сюжет далеко не детский и не щадящий, сама история весьма темная, да, есть кнш налет мистицизма, что не оч комильфо лично для меня, но это не то , что бы большая проблема, а даже наоборот, благодаря этому сюжет углубился, как и геймплей. Возможно, дабы эта игра стала около идеальной, нужно ввести более открытые локации, потому как на данный момент, игра ну крайне линейная, нам дают кучу всяких плюх для решения пространственных головоломок, однако из-за прямолинейности игры, пройти можно лишь одним путем, ну максимум двумя, и это реально сделало бы игру на порядок интересней, если у нас бы была возможность выбирать как нам идти. Скорее всего им бы просто не хватило бюджета на подобное, все таки игра не трипл эй. В любом случае, годнота.

    O jogo é muito bom, porém ele começa com uma pegada mais realista e depois fica meio surreal. Gostaria que a abordagem continuasse igual do início ao fim. Mas continua sendo um ótimo jogo.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence no es un juego redondo, pero si que es un buen juego.

En gran medida se divide en dos tipos de mecánicas: por un lado escenas de sigilo cuando nos enfrentamos a la inquisición, por otro una serie de puzzles cuando lidiamos con ratas. Y el resultado en ambas dimensiones quizás no sea el más profundo, pero si es razonablemente satisfactorio y, como no es un juego largo, no da tiempo a que nos llegue a aburrir. Y todo esto metido en una historia ambientada en el siglo XIV frances, con un toque importante de magia y ocultismo (especialmente alquimia); una historia que, sin ser increíblemente original, si está bien contada, logrando emocionar con las peripecias de los dos hermanos y el duro mundo en el que viven.

    A nivel gráfico, el juego es espectacular, sencillamente. La realización de los personajes y los entornos es brillante, las animaciones, la expresividad, y el diseño del entorno resulta impactante y sugerente. Te mete de lleno en su mundo. Y el sonido no se queda corto, con una buena selección de música (aunque no tiene mucha presencia, sale cuando importa), buenos efectos y buenos actores de voz (al menos en inglés, que es como lo jugué). Y todo ello, en mi experiencia, viene casi carente de bugs.

    El resultado, como digo, no es un juego que vaya a marcar un punto histórico ni un antes y después en el género del sigilo, pero sin duda es un muy buen juego que vale la pena disfrutar. Un 8.

    Its been a while since i started to look different types of games. This is one. Excelent history from Asobo Studios. The line of the game never crashes upon the fictional aspect of the history and the mechanics of the chracters. Is a stealth game, so if you enjoy this gender, this game is for you.

    ITALIAN:
    Gioco non perfetto ma estremamente bilanciato in tutte le sue caratteristiche, forse solo un po' troppo guidato.

    AUDIO E GRAFICA:
    Comparto audio di ottimo livello, soprattutto il doppiaggio e la colonna sonora. Anche graficamente il titolo si comporta molto bene, anche se è soggetto a qualche calo di frame rate.

    Una nota negativa sono le animazioni facciali, che in un gioco così narrativo dovrebbero essere estremamente curate (il mio pensiero va subito ad Hellblade) ma invece sono basilari. Forse è anche per questo motivo che sono presenti poche scene di intermezzo e spesso non incentrate sui volti. Rivedibili anche i topi, che funzionano bene come massa ma se si osservano nel dettaglio sembrano telecomandati.
    Buone invece le animazioni dei personaggi.

    GAMEPLAY:
    Sebbene io non lo abbia giocato in quanto "PC gamer", penso che le somiglianze con The Last of Us siano molteplici ma tutto risulta ben contestualizzato e credibile.
    Molto bello come entrambi i protagonisti partecipino al gameplay, creando varietà, enigmi e situazioni originali.

    Io sono un amante dei giochi stealth e dei giochi narrativi, quindi questo è esattamente il connubio di cui avevo bisogno.
    Interessante l'uso della fionda e dei vari tipi di proiettili, necessari per cogliere di sorpresa o sfuggire a nemici che se no sarebbero imbattibili (non esiste combattimento corpo a corpo, e avrebbe anche poco senso utilizzando una ragazzina e un bambino).
    Se quindi lo stealth è semplicemente indispensabile nella maggior parte delle situazioni, bisogna far notare come l'AI nei nemici non sia sempre impeccabile. Se per quanto riguarda la "vista" sono ottimi, in quanto non basta passare lontano da loro per non essere notati, la loro capacità di ricerca degli intrusi è veramente carente ed è facile far perdere le proprie tracce. Allo stesso tempo però se non riesci a nasconderti sono veramente ostici, soprattutto quelli con attacchi a distanza.

    Sono presenti anche alcune boss fight, non estremamente interessanti ma abbastanza difficili.
    Molto più originali e piacevolmente impegnativi sono invece gli enigmi, che spesso riguardano l'uso della luce per allontanare i topi o la collaborazione con gli altri personaggi.

    Il difetto principale del gioco è secondo me nei troppi "suggerimenti" su quello che bisogna fare. Io ho completamente disattivato l'HUD, ma spesso ci sono degli indizi che ti fanno capire quale sia la cosa migliore da fare (ad esempio spesso si trovano i materiali per i proiettili speciali o compaiono dal nulla materiali utili quando li hai finiti). Non si può molto agire diversamente da come è stato pensato dagli sviluppatori e ogni tanto dà fastidio.

    STORIA:
    Come già detto la narrazione è un aspetto cruciale del gioco. Non è molto originale ma ha un eccellente ritmo e non stanca mai, anzi a volte si vorrebbe che fosse più approfondita. La storia sa emozionare, soprattutto grazie al rapporto tra i due fratelli.

    In conclusione, il gioco dura 10-15 ore a seconda dello stile di gioco e passano in fretta. È uno dei pochi titoli in cui non ho avvertito un inizio di noia verso la fine della storia. Consigliato praticamente a tutti, anche se non è esente da difetti (piccoli).

The game overall is enjoyable, though it is *very* easy. Solutions to puzzles don't take more than 5 minutes to figure out. Solutions to stealth segments are very clearly telegraphed to the player. I never once had to worry about conserving ammo or the items required to craft ammo. The only times I died were due to me being completely oblivious about the situation.

    I wish stealth was pushed more onto the player as well. For the vast majority of enemy encounters, knocking them with a couple slingshot hits is the easiest and quickest way to get done with a chapter. Why would I choose to be stealthy when I can practically run past the level? Granted, there are sequences where you *have* to be stealthy, but these are few and far between. This is baby's first stealth game for sure.

    The story is decent. It is carried by the interactions and relationship between Amicia and Hugo. Over the course of the game you feel their bond grow bigger and stronger, as well as your own desire to protect Hugo. Other characters are also likeable, but the voice acting for one of them makes it tough to enjoy their presence. Most voice actors did a great job though.

    The dialogue can be cringey at times, and downright goose-bumps inducing at others.

    What's most surprising to me is how an unknown game developer was able to push out a game this good. I'm excited to see what they put out next.

    I would definitely recommend this game for someone who wants a unique narrative experience, but not really for someone who wants a good gaming experience.

    TL;DR

    Dialogue can be great at some times, terrible at others. Visuals are great. Story is ok. Voice acting is fantastic for the most part. Gameplay is a bit boring and unstimulating. The game holds your hand more often than Amicia holds Hugos. The setting is amazing. The music is great.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A Plague Tale: Innocence это красочный мир в котором вы зритель, а не игрок.

    Визуал 9/10

    Эта игра с точки зрения визуала просто прекрасна, каждая локация будь это замок или поле битвы сделаны на высшем уровне. Прекрасно передана эпоха тех времен. Также отмечу прекрасные кат сцены. Из плохого очень маленький пул противников 4-5 скинов на всю игру протяженность которой +10 часов.

    Звук 8/10

    Звуковое сопровождение на протяжение всего прохождения не было просто песенкой на фоне, оно великолепно дополняло атмосферу.

    Сюжет 7.5/10

    Сюжет же не является чем-то сверх интересным, но вкупе с визуалом он заставляет переживать за героев. Но побег Хьюго является вершиной абсурда на протяжении всей игры.

    Лвл Дизайн 8/10

    Множество локаций начиная стелсом с классическим броском камней заканчивая погоней разъяренного противника за героями. Но из-за геймплея очень линейны.
    Геймплей 6/10
    И вот та самая ахиллесова пята A Plague Tale: Innocence. Из-за геймплея игра не стала шедевром игровой индустрии. При вполне неплохой прокачки и большим выбором снарядов для пращи. А также не забывая о способностях напарников героя перед тобой должен открыться огромный мир вариантов убийств врагов. Но ты не можешь их использовать. Вся игра это интерактивное кино, где ты по скрипту выполняешь все что тебе говорит большой брат разработчик, только в двух-трех локациях под конец игры ты можешь по своему желанию выбрать как убить противников. Во всех других локациях ты "играешь" по инструкции. PS Брал игру бесплатно в Epic Store.

    My partner played this game in 2021 and completed it, I helped her with a few sections and even though I had also planned to play this game at some point, I did not have an idea of when that would actually be. Fast forward to the beginning of 2022 and I decided to finally scratch this one off the list, especially knowing that a sequel is due to arrive later in the year.

    Story - The plot
    My partner played this game in 2021 and completed it, I helped her with a few sections and even though I had also planned to play this game at some point, I did not have an idea of when that would actually be. Fast forward to the beginning of 2022 and I decided to finally scratch this one off the list, especially knowing that a sequel is due to arrive later in the year.

    Story - The plot itself is interesting enough to pull you along, the land of France has been infested with a plague of rats and it is about a Sister and Brother who has their world, their home and their family torn upside down due to this which leads to a fight for survival. What really sells me is the relationship between Amicia and Hugo, Sister and Brother, their relationship growth is rather predictable but I loved these two together and I wanted nothing more than to ensure Amicia protected Hugo. You also run into other characters as you go and a lot of them are very likable, even though some got more development then others, because it was so hard to find characters that Amicia and Hugo could trust, latching onto these guys was very easy. Again, the overall plot is all good, but the absolute winner is the characters, especially Amicia and Hugo.

    Gameplay - You are looking at very limited combat here, stealth is the focus, for some they would say that is not acceptable (and some negative reviews clearly do), but I will say it loud and clear, don't go into this game expecting intricate combat because that is not the purpose here. You are playing as a young adult who is there to look after her little brother, so your job is to sneak passed enemies, distract them, and use crafting materials at your disposal to survive. There are elements of combat here like a dodge mechanic and using a sling to attack enemies with rocks and such, but this is not a game where you are all powerful. Your enemies are war trained knights, as well as rats who you also need to evade, puzzle elements are implemented here which you need to solve to get by, doing so unsuccessfully usually results in an instant death to Amicia or whoever is accompanying her, there is no health bar, you might think that makes the game very hard, but if you go in with the mindset of sneaking and not trying to brute force your way through, you will have a much easier time. I think what the game wants you to do is done well and I didn't have any major complaints on the gameplay side of things.

    Graphics - It is a very beautiful game, the game takes place in a 1300s France so you get some beautiful landscapes but the darker stuff is very dark, you may be trying to slip paste a horde of bloodthirsty rats to then walking along a battlefield riddled with dead bodies all over the place, this is a dark game and intended for mature audiences only.

    Collectibles and customization - You do have customization in this game like upgrading your sling, or certain items you can use to get by, you find crafting materials as you go and I did manage to upgrade everything except one thing by the end of the game. On top of that, you do have several pieces of collectibles that you can pick up like flowers that Hugo loves, these include fun little descriptions and information which I really enjoyed.

    Performance - I played on a fairly decent custom built PC and no major issues here, I had only frame drops whenever I got an achievement but that is about it.

    Final Rating - I had a wonderful time with this game, felt connected to the story and it's characters the whole way through, the gameplay is exactly what I expected to be, its about survival and protecting the ones closest to you (especially Hugo). It is a beautifully dark game with some a really impressive soundtrack, and with a sequel on the way, there is no better time to play the game than right now.

    I got this masterpiece on a steam sale just thinking "well a couple of euros is nothing, i get to try something different than Wittcher 3, why not?"
    One of the best decisions i've made.

    Graphics are just 9/10, really gorgeous and dark...
    Enviorment is also a 9/10, i really felt every single tension and fear the characters felt
    Gameplay was ok, simple, accomplished what it intended, not very complex nor important.
    THe puzzles were also cool but not that great

    The story was awsome up until the end where it got a bit too crazy for me, but this may be attributed to me thinking in the beggining of the game that this would be fairly grounded game, no fantasy crap, i tought they wanted my brother because of some real world reason (royal blood or something)
    If i went in knowing that this game would have some fantasy elements where the kid can control the rats and all that, maybe i wouldn't feel this way.

    Nonetheless, recomend it 100%
    Can't wait for the confirmed sequel!

    Ho iniziato questo titolo solo nel giugno del 2021, e finendolo in 2 settimane circa, ma non so come ho fatto a non averlo visto prima, dato che ora sto aspettando il seguito che uscirà già nel 2022.

Un titolo di altissimo livello dotato di assets incredibili, come quelli forniti da quixel megascan, una IA abbastanza raffinata con cui ho riscontrato pochi bug, scrittura del codice tanto buona da non farmi trovare quasi nessun bug. Espressioni facciali che mi hanno leggermente deluso, poiché solo alcuni personaggi erano dotati di buona espressione (mancante nella protagonista).
    Comparto audio piacevole, Doppiatori che hanno dato più vita ai personaggi. Mi piacerebbe vedere questo titolo doppiato anche in Italiano, ma quello inglese mi ha già super soddisfatto.
    Se non erro questo studio ha realizzato questo titolo pur non avendo un grandissimo budget, wow!
    Concludo col dire che è uno straordinario titolo, complimenti ai creatori.
    Gioco Super consigliato.

    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.

    It has an entertaining story, supported by the traditional weapon. The feature, here and there can be compared like Tomb Raider game. Yet the story it presents give a goosebumps

    TL;DR: this is a very good game, but is deeply flawed by a plethora of immersion breaking bugs and poorly designed/ forced puzzle elements which serve no purpose but to make the game slower.

    the game has beautiful graphics and narrative, a dark and well paced setting, but struggles with control scheme issues and buggy/inconsistent npc behavior. in almost every situation, the game visually presents a wealth of decision making and options to you, yet only accepts a very narrow and often illogical solution to each puzzle. often, a task is designated to a specific ally to make the puzzle harder when it's literally just a lever and any one of the npcs could have pulled it, and even at that, it seems that many of the allies don't serve any purpose in the story. we have one girl who is literally unable to open doors, but can unlock them, and there is no point in the game where it serves a purpose to the puzzles. once we meet her though, suddenly every door is locked and she has to go up to it before we can enter. as the game progresses, these forced narrative issues become more and more problematic.

    the largest problem with this is that the npcs get stuck to the point where it's impossible to tell if we make the right decisions in a given puzzle, because your ally's scripted action to complete the next step doesn't activate for a full 10 minutes of walking back and forth. often, the game wants you to hit very specific switches or objectives, but the icons which lead you to those objectives won't appear when you are staring directly at them. it's like when a web app is broken so the cursor disappears whenever i'm hovering over a button that needs to be pressed. that said, the game is still playable and quite enjoyable, but i find myself frustrated with the lack of finish and bug checking that really smears an otherwise very solid game.

    I absolutely loved the setting, the music, and the graphics of the game. Everytime I played the game, I was sucked into the atmosphere of 13th Century France during the black plague and the Spanish inquisition. The developers definitely set the mood very well.

Everytime I played the game, I was sucked into the atmosphere of 13th Century France during the black plague and the Spanish inquisition. The developers definitely set the mood very well. I was able to play on ultra settings and I noticed how beautiful the plants in the forest were, the medieval village buildings, and the light that reflected on them. I’m impressed. The voice acting was very good. Everyone talks in a very believable french accent and believable emotion into the words they say. There were some segments where people were very angry at a situation and I could feel it. There is a 5 year old boy named Hugo in about 90% of the game and you will grow to love him. He’s such a cute character.

    The story is heartbreaking and memorable. There were lots of characters you felt attached to as the game progressed until they suddenly died. The spanishj inquistition soldiers straight up murdered people and the game showed people’s last moments before they were slaughtered. The music was excellent. The game loves to use a soft violin that plays sadly in the background because of how terrible the situation is during this time in France. I noticed when you’re in a dark creepy place that hasn’t been discovered in decades, the music turns creepy. When an enemy comes trying to kill your character, the music gets super tense. It does a very good job setting the mood during the situation.

    The gameplay was decent but there were very frustrating segments that could have been better. The most frustrating part of the game was the rolling cart and archer segment. You AI controlled companion slowly moves a cart while a dozen or so archers are hurling arrows at your character. The arrows are instant death. You’re supposed to get behind the cart until you;re clear of the arrows at a gate at the end. The problem is, there are soldiers with swords also running towards you at the same time mixed with archers. Some of the archers has sights on you from far away at a different angle and you can’t kill them because there are those instant kill arrows on one side and soldiers running with their swords at you at the same time. I did not realize that there was one lone archer you were supposed to kill at a very far angle that can instant kill you for a really long time. I died over a dozen times at this segment that should only take 5 minutes but took maybe almost an hour.

    I really like how the game rewards you for going off an alleyway with extra material to upgrade your weapons or items. Sometimes they even lead to a small cutscene where you learn something new. The game also specifically marks spots in white to let you know what can be climbed over. It’s such a small thing but I appreciate it.

    There was another frustrating part where there was a combination of slow and quick soldiers. On one side of the map there is a slow soldier walking with a giant sword and thte other side a character running towards you. Thet game is really bad at indicating what kind of enemy you;re fighting with unless you move the camera or or walk out of the corner. I died a lot in this segment.

    See a pattern? The game is really bad at open court areas where you have to deal with multiple threats at once. You can’t see the enemy unless you move your camera or physically move your character where you can see the enemy in the far corner running at you. Unless you memorize where each type of enemy comes at you, you will die at least the first couple of times of that segment.

    There is a little too much escorting your helpless AI companion in this game. You can’t leave them alone or they’ll die and you have to babysit them if you walk off because a soldier will find them and kill them. I would say about 75% is like this.

    I loved the boss fights. The final boss comes straight from a marvel movie or a crazy bayonetta boss fight and I loved it. I hope the sequel comes with a boss rush mode and adds more bosses like these.

    I really like how the game does not have loading screens. As you progress through the level, it is seamless. There is a small lag for 2-3 seconds as it loads the next segment of the level, and that’s it. It was very smooth in terms of going through each segment.

    The replayability is very low i feel. There is no in-game incentive to replay the game after the credits. There is no new game plus. There is no boss rush or arena mode, but the game could definitely benefited from it. There are collectibles and the only good thing about them is you learn a little bit about history and the character’s opinion about them. It gives a small insight about what they feel about things and the things people used during that time.

    Overall i enjoyed this game minus the frustrating segments mentioned above and the lack of replayability. I love this word and its characters and im really excited for the sequel.

    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.
