    in this game everything is awesome, graphics, plot, gameplay. The only problem I noticed was linearity, but who needs an open world in 2020? The plot is perfect. The most important thing is the atmosphere, here it is on the level of a stalker or a subway. I advise everyone to go through this masterpiece.

    Incredible game. Cool new concept for gameplay, the story is really good, and it's defenitily a great game that went below the radar because it's from a small studio and it isn't the typical action game. It's slow paced, but interesting, it doesn't get boring. Worth a buy.

    This game is another proof that great game does not need to be developed by a huge team with countless budget. The game has good story with setting in medieval France, beautiful graphics and excellent voice acting. This game is an impressive achievement by small developer. If you like good story driven game you should check out this title. You won't be disappointed.

    Really cool game, I loved how scary the rats were. And making paths through the hordes was really cool. The story and characters are solid, but not amazing imo. I wish there were more true fighting parts like the one that happens near the start of the game. For the most part it's just stealth. Really hoping for a sequel as I'll feel they'll take this experience and perfect it next time.

I cannot help but think about what this game would be like in an open world with these great textures if they only added an actual combat system that doesn't feel like a used diaper. They did a good job, but the combat is awful, 6.5/10 objectively. 10 star reviews are sad to see as they're not objective at all.… Expand

    I've never played a game set during a plague in medieval times. It's a very unique setting and I think a lot of my positive impressions are due to this.

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.    … Expand

    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 combat isn't fun, it's clunky and unintuitive. The stealth is boring and the AI is stupid. The crafting and looting aspects are shallow and feel like an afterthought. Much of the animation is stiff and jarring. While some of the level design is great, most of it is dull and forgettable.

    But I still honestly enjoyed the experience overall because of this game's narrative and the high-points of its production quality: I want to see a feature-length animated or live action version, it would work much better in that medium.    … Expand

    The story starts off strongly and definitely brutally. I'm not exaggerating, they definitely did a good job at showing how brutal and disgusting the Black Death was.

    In that horrible world we find the sister and the little brother who have that innocent and adorable bond. As the story evolves I felt so attached to Amicia, it could be the cute accent, but I think it was also how the character evolves to the point where she would risk anything just for the safety of her brother and that basically is how Amicia grew so charismatic and heroic to me.    … 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.
