    I'm about 6 hours into the game and I can easily say that this is a masterpiece. Very rarely does narrative in game suck me in, but this one definitely delivers in all departments. You'll be familiar with some stealth elements, but it brings a lot of fresh air in the game industry in regard to the whole experience.

    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.

    A masterpiece to behold. Character driven, amazing story, full of emotion, action, thrills, and a horror-packed bag on your way to redemption.
    Well done Asobo, we're truly grateful

    This game isn't perfect, but it gets pretty damn close to it. The story is unique, the graphics are gorgeous and each place you visit is amazing. The characters are well fleshed and quite likable. The whole game is packed with feels ranging from disgust and sorrow to happiness and serenity.

    My only complain here is that the combat was a bit clunky but you don't have to do a lot of it anyway. Most of the time you'll spend sneaking around.

    Another thing worth mentioning is that this is 45 bucks on Steam. It is a bit pricey, but I believe this is very strong contender for game of the year.    … Expand

    Awesome game. First of all I really like family-related games, I really like protagonists are young lady and other children. A+ class story, A class visuals, A class gameplay, A+ class sound, voice and music. The only con is the game has no replayability, which is in other ways is even good. Ten of ten, good job, Asobo! Cant wait for sequel.

    For a game that comes from a small studio this game is incredible. I urge everyone to buy this game and support the creators of this game because they fully deserve your money and they should have the resources to be able to keep making games like this.

    The parts of this game that really shine are the compelling narrative, fantastically voice acted characters, amazing atmosphere and world design. And it certainly helps that this is a very good looking game.

    Gameplay takes a back seat in this game but that's fine because it isn't the main focus. However it can still be engaging and fun at times without providing too much of a challenge.    … Expand

    Perfect single player, story, thrilling game with extraordinary soundtrack and surroudings. Good feeling was interrupted only at the end of the game by hard boss and enemies (in quantity). But, worth for playing! 9/10

    Definitely my second best game of 2019 so far! (Jes behind RE2)
    Still some ways into the game now, but I can't help but be held spellbound by the immersive experience this game provides. No doubt the story this game tells is by far the best I've seen in any recent game, but the game-play... Hmm? It ain't bad, but I think it could've been better.

    Please if you're down for a unique and great single-player adventure experience, this isn't "one of" the games for you - this is "The Game" for you!

    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.

    Finished (I wanted to do 1 day 1 chapter ... but I did not hold). My GOTY 2019, nothing less! Everything seduced me in this title (DA, narration, dubbing, music ... everything). A video game as we see too little! Thank you AsoboStudio !!

    Story-driven linear singleplayer games are not dead, and this is one of those titles that prove that even without being a purely action game to do so. A Plague Tale: Innocence is a beautifully crafted cinematic adventure-stealth game made with amazing visuals, impressive acting, fun stealth/puzzle mechanics, praiseworthy writing and engaging story pacing.

    The relation between Amicia & Hugo is really nice. Amicia has to deal with guilt while she takes care of her little brother while Hugo discovers a new world and at the same time things he doesn't understand or he is too young to. Their journey into those dark and horrible places is simply awesome. I hope this game gets the recognition it deserves.    … Expand

    Шедевр. Без лишних слов. Хотелось бы больше таких игр.
    Это вам не новый DMC, который прошел и забыл с одной унылой локацией. Здесь, каждая локация по своему красива (даже если и отправляют второй раз).
    Это вам не Anthem, который рекламировали на каждом углу, на каждой выставке с мега супер пупер графикой, и что в итоге? Забыта уже на следующий день после выхода... Графика на высшем    Шедевр. Без лишних слов. Хотелось бы больше таких игр.

    Это вам не Anthem, который рекламировали на каждом углу, на каждой выставке с мега супер пупер графикой, и что в итоге? Забыта уже на следующий день после выхода... Графика на высшем уровне.
    Такие ощущения вызывал только третий Ведьмак. И не боюсь сказать, что они на одном уровне.

    Плюсы:
    + Сюжет, может и предсказуемый, но в последнее время не было сюжета лучше. 9,/10
    + Графика, просто красотище. 10 из 10.
    + Звук, все прекрасно, 10/10
    + Персонажи, это вам не картонные болванчики. Разговоры, переживания... 9/10
    + Крысы

    К минусам,
    - Управление, иногда прицеливание шалит... 7/10
    - Коротенькая, привыкаешь... и хотелось бы еще и еще. Но с другой стороны, все должно быть в меру. 8/10

    Советую всем поиграть и не проходить мимо этой игры.    … Expand

    This game came out of nowhere and is truly one of the best gaming experiences ive had in awhile. Ive been waiting on rage 2 since it was announced and havent even touched it yet because this game has me so engaged. The graphics, atmosphere, story, characters, sound, setting and gameplay are all impressive. Nothing feels lacking here. A truly inspired and amazing game that everyone should play.

    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.
