    Wow. Did not thought this game would be as good as i thought it would be. Played this in 2021 and i never expected it to be the kind of game that i would like.

    Had a great time playing this game!
    Nice story, acting is wonderful, mechanics are well polished. Game is not boring and not too long. Playthrough took me 10 hours and it was perfect way to spend the weekend.

    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)

    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

    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

    Сейчас очень мало хороших игр, большинство современных ААА игр - ужасные песочницы, с однообразным геймплеем, примитивным сюжетом и пустыми персонажами, с глупыми шутками.

    Хотя конечно и тут есть некоторые минусы, вроде слабого стелса и слабого AI врагов, а так же весьма странного графического эффекта "хроматической аберрации" - надеюсь разработчики не будут больше применять такие эффекты, они лишь портят изображение. несмотря на все минусы, плюсов в игре намного больше.

    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.

The game is short, seriously I put in 5 hours and I even got a lot of the optional stuff, there was more to get but... I was done when I saw credits.

    Still, if you value story and immersion, check this one out.    … Expand

    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.
