    Very interesting story! Its compelling and fascinating. The gameplay is good, but the story is what really kept me playing. A bit too much sneaking around for my liking, but it had enough change in gameplay throughout that I didnt mind too much.

    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

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.

    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!    … Expand

    Maybe the best of the game is its superb graphics. Especially the characters that have a lot of details: scars, wounds, dirt, ... and those change over time. this makes feel them like real humans not like a Vogue portrait character like 99% of the games.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    The environments are highly realistic and historically accurate, filled with immersive details and the historical setting is extremely immersive and believable, from the scale of the furniture and fireplaces to the tools and objects placed throughout, to the people and how they live and behave.

    The gameplay is a bit dull and towards the end even atrociously BAD but the characters and setting are presented so masterfully this game NEEDS a high score. It sets a bar for immersion I can only wish will be utilized in more games.    … Expand

    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.
