    Лично для меня, игра чудесная во всех планах, кроме некоторых моментов относительно геймплея.

    Great and very dark story set in a medieval plague era. Very good mechanics, although the graphics was a little bit blurry for me even on ultra settings.

    It's a pretty good game for a 2A game. I like it more than the second game.

    Juego con sencilla jugabilidad pero muy entretenido junto su historia que con el paso de los capítulos hace que te metas más y más en el juego

    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.

    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 is one of the best story-driven games I've played in a while. It mainly focuses on the stealth and puzzle-solving aspect, telling a rich and beautiful story about a young woman, Amicia, and her little brother, Hugo. Both trying to survive after their parents got murdered. Their story progresses smoothly and it's divided into chapters.

    Pros:
    + Amazing story
    + Stealth is impressive
    + Realistic, yet fantastic at the same time
    + Beautiful Graphics
    + If you've played The Last of Us, you'll like this one

    Cons:
    - There aren't any things to complain about or make remarks about, this game requires much more attention

    Overall the story and the game itself it's a gem and it deserves the praise and the love from those who have played it. I can't stress this enough how important it is for those who read this review and actually give it a shot. It's 15 hours of straightforward gameplay, a linear game that focuses on the story and it does a formidable job.

    Without a doubt, it's a game I wait for a sequel and gets a clean 10/10 from me from the experience it gave. Amazing job done by all who've worked on the game.    … Expand

    В последнее время не хватало таких игр как A Plague tale. Все пытаются в открытые миры и если честно они надоедают. Во время прохождения игры получил массу удовольствия именно из-за атмосферы и визуала игры.

    Игра относится к 2 эшелону игрового строя, так что требовать от неё стоит немного. Сюжет довольно недурственный, но в концовке всё скатывается в какой то лишний экшен и ожидание драматичной концовки с гнетущей атмосферой безнадёжности, которая тянется на протяжении всей игры, заканчивается геройским файтом из марвел. Но эта игра цепляет своей атмосферой, музыкой и каким никаким стелсом.Игра относится к 2 эшелону игрового строя, так что требовать от неё стоит немного.

Но эта игра цепляет своей атмосферой, музыкой и каким никаким стелсом. Первая игра для меня, которая завязана исключительно на стелсе, пусть он и примитивен, но геймплей ощущается приятно. Несмотря на все её очевидные плюсы, эта игра для меня точно не вытягивает на балл 8, я стараюсь объективно оценить эту игру, осматриваясь на мой background, в какое колличество я игр переиграл и хороших и плохих, данная игра не может войти в мой своеобразный топ20 игр, но готов признать, что эта игра хороша и для людей которые вообще не играли в игры и для заядлых геймеров, но назвать её востребованной нельзя. Неторопливое введение в сюжет, отсутствие динамичных геймплейных фишек, оттолкнёт современного геймера, но для человека, которому важна история, проникновенная атмосфера и невероятное музыкальное сопровождение он нашёл себе идеальную игру. В общем всё резюмируя, моя оценка 7, крепкая и уверенная, оценка 8 или даже 9 была бы если бы эта игра была для меня первой, советую обязательно ознакомиться с данной игрой, она достаточно быстро проходится, а скоротать пару вечеров в данную игру сам бог велел… Expand

    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.

    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.
