    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.

    Well made, very linear, story-driven game with a unique setting and story. Unfortunately the core game-play doesn't quite live up to the rest as the clunky controls, stiff movement, constant ammo-switching, semi-reliable aim-assist, instant fail mechanics and some clunky late-game skills make things less enjoyable to play than watch.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

    The game has redeeming qualities, especially the visuals.

    But there is very little here that I enjoy. The gameplay is painfully repetitive, the story is predictable and the characters are very shallow. The story feels generic and is not very believable. I will finish it, as I have two chapters left, but it has been a slog from the start.

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

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 story focuses mainly on the 2 protagonists    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 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 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.

    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.    … Expand

    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!

    Seen the recent trailers on the Plague Tale sequel, and the hype or excitement everyone felt about the game, I figured why not, and then the game blew me away. It's a perfectly crafted masterpiece, the weapons you get are meant for you to feel fragile, and it works great, the enemy soldiers are imposing figures that can take you out without mercy if you are discovered. The implementation of stealth is masterful, some encounters are the tensest situations I felt in my gaming life.

    The graphics are supreme, I was under the impression they were using Unreal Engine 4 to power this game because in some forums many replied that, but doing some research I confirmed Asobo used their "in-house engine" meaning the engine, which I found strange. Many youtubers are talking about AA games made with a low budget and the baseline for that is using 3rd party engines like unreal, but these guys came out of nowhere and created a killer engine with a low budget and executed a masterfully crafted story with stunning attention to detail. Kudos to Asobo they really achieved something. And long live linear grounded single-player experiences :)    … 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

    I really enjoy playing games that focus on the story, beautiful graphics and only use gameplay as a way of immersion into the atmosphere. Before I started playing A Plague Tale: Innocence I had big expectations following the trailers and the premise of the story, and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint.

    Graphics: beautiful visuals, I was really impressed with the lightning and    I really enjoy playing games that focus on the story, beautiful graphics and only use gameplay as a way of immersion into the atmosphere. Before I started playing A Plague Tale: Innocence I had big expectations following the trailers and the premise of the story, and I am happy to say that it did not disappoint.

    Graphics: beautiful visuals, I was really impressed with the lightning and how the game played with the lightning in order to make the plague world really immersive. The world is well designed. The characters are also good, but game makers don't usually nail people's models that well so I say that they're good relative to the average human characters in other games. What I feel that was out of the place was the rats that always go through each other like they're just transparent. That also applies to the big rats formations that don't really fit the rest of the game visuals that well, but I may just be a perfectionist.

    Story: I don't want to spoil anything, but the story is good. It has a few "I didn't expect that to happen" kind of moments but it builds up to a satisfying end. It's up to you if you like that kind of story, but I enjoyed it. If you plan on playing the game, remember this: click play again after the credits show up, I almost missed something that I will not spoil in this review.

    Gameplay: I liked the little puzzles that you find often enough that puts your brain to work, but also not often enough that makes it look boring. It's a good balance between story and gameplay. I have to point out that some rats levels can be ambiguous and you can die when you don't really have any visuals that rats could get to you, but after you find out what your mistake was, you can figure out how to get out pretty easily.    … Expand

    Initially the story becomes engaging, dramatic, striking and you want to know what happens in the next chapter.

    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.    … Expand

    Decent game with an interesting story, the idea of the rats Is simply unique and the feelings it gives you that something bad is happening in the world as well. I liked the feeling that I did not have control over the game in the beginning and over time I was gaining more and more control.

    Koks gra. Najbardziej podobał mi się rozwój relacji siostry z bratem. Fabuła bardzo fajna, lecz pod koniec jest trochę głupot. Ogólna ocena 9/10

    There are game of 2019 from bigger studios that run worst than this game, the ambient is beautifull, runs like charm on ultra with a 1050ti.
    The story was pretty good and unique from my perspective, just the animations and the voice acting dont match cuz the animations are based on the original dialogs in french.
    worth playing, not sure worth buying full price for a one time run,    There are game of 2019 from bigger studios that run worst than this game, the ambient is beautifull, runs like charm on ultra with a 1050ti.

    Ce jeu est un chef d'oeuvre, il n'y a rien à dire de plus. J'ai adore la saga The Witcher mais côté histoire, beauté ce jeu le détrone à mes yeux et c'est sans nulle doute le meilleurs jeux de ces 13 dernières années (bien loin ces bouse de halo ou zelda botw)

    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.
