    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.

    Good story if not terribly clichéd. The gameplay is where it falls short, becoming a tedious trial and error exercise which ultimately takes much of the sheen off the overall experience.

    Favorite Thing: I really liked the story and it went a bit crazier than I expected.
    Least Favorite Thing: Hugo. Didn't much like having to play as him either.

    Playtime: 8h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: It's good, you should play it.

    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

    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.

    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. Спасибо за классную игру, создавайте ещё такие игры!

Las mejoras en el equipo y habilidades del personaje prácticamente no tienen incidencia real en la acción haciendo que sea poco interesante este aspecto. En mi opinión y por todo lo comentado anteriormente es un juego que acaba haciéndose repetitivo y cuyo casi único aliciente es avanzar en la historia. Es un juego que no recomendaría a todo el mundo pero sí es muy interesante de jugar para salir de dudas. Buen juego. Expand

    For an Indie game visuals are good enough. Story is ok but a bit boring at places. Most memorable elements are rats and overall environments and atmosphere. Some of the characters are really memorable as well. Overall it’s a pretty solid experience.

    It was a really good experience with good visuals and a very sensitive narrative, but the duration of the game in some point near the end breaks the mood of the gameplay thinking about where is the end. The puzzles and the stealh mix of gameplay works but a less lineal approach would have been more ejoyable to the player.

    Nice game with a good atmosphere and story.
    I really wanted to find out how the story ended so this game has cost me some sleep.. And now I know and I will probably never play it again. There's no difficulty setting and no real choices, so replay-value is zero to none.

    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.

    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.

Its a beautiful game to look at, its has a great atmosphere, intriguing story, fairly interesting characters, but like many other games that of Plague Tale's nature that have come out in last decade, it somewhat struggles in remembering that it needs to provide a gameplay experience with reasonable depth, and rather chases the all too common linear, ''cinematic'' game trend instead with a rather basic gameplay approach. But, thankfully, its still many miles away from being a glorified walking/cutscene simulator.

    There are some combat gameplay mechanics, but they come down just to the sling, which uses auto lock on, and the evasion mechanics which allow you to take out certain enemies. Beyond the combat, there are the puzzles that dont require much brain work, made even easier by the developers by using the hand holdy white paint trope, to make it painfully obvious how they should be tackled, the paint cant be turned off sadly, but to be honest a few of the puzzles can be somewhat enjoyable. Then there is stealth, over reliant on the ''hiding in the tall grass'' gimmick thats so prevalent across this generation's games that involve stealth gameplay, aswell as using throwable objects to distract guards and other enemies. Though it can be interesting as you sometimes need to evade enemies not just by your self, but also with Hugo, Amicia's brother, it can get a bit tense at those times. At times youre also encouraged to explore the game world when youre not in danger and travel through more open areas. The huge amount of rats on screen not just looks impressive from a technical and visual stand point, but also is interesting to interact with during gameplay. Its pretty fun through out the game to use the light as a counter measure against the rats and to see how they scramble.

    As you play the game, you can tell that the developers really were passionate with its development, with devs themselves being french, its not suprising of course. There is a lot of attention to detail put into recreating the medieval french setting and making it feel believable. You visit and go through plenty of gorgeous looking places and environments, aswell as locations that show off that life back in those times was far from sunshine and roses.

    Story was kinda interesting, with the whole deal surrounding the plague and how Amicia's and Hugo's family is directly tied to it. With Amicia being from a royal like family, having been raised and kept in a relatively safe environment, it was engrossing to observe how Amicia adapts and evolves as she is forced into a dire situation, with her previous life suddenly collapsing, and having to take care of her little brother in a world that has gone to utter sh*t. You meet some reasonably compelling side characters as you play, few of whom will join your party of misfits. The antagonists in the game however didnt feel that enticing to me, they felt rather cliche. That also translated into the boss battles where you face them, they didnt feel all that exciting, final boss fight, especially, got on my nerves. While not necessarily tied to story side of qualities, the english voice acting was prettty well done across the board, especially for Amicia and Hugo.

    The game has a healthy length, it runs well if you have a somewhat decent PC and in the end i can say that i surely had a good time with it, its a very good game, just shy of greatness in my opinion.

    Innocence is the beginning of a plague tale. Young siblings were cast off by unfortunate events in 1348 and are constantly in danger of a plague. Amicia and her half aged brother Hugo from de Rune family have become the target of the most evil they intend to avoid. However, the story of two gets more complicated as they must fight these enemies till the end.

    Innocence is the beginning of a plague tale. Young siblings were cast off by unfortunate events in 1348 and are constantly in danger of a plague. Amicia and her half aged brother Hugo from de Rune family have become the target of the most evil they intend to avoid. However, the story of two gets more complicated as they must fight these enemies till the end.

    Game is story driven with lots of cut scenes and dialogues in between, heavily based on stealth rather than combat which is streamlined into using sling as a main weapon and alchemy as essential additions. Amicia is able to craft these potions on the go while upgrading her weapon and equipment only at the crafting table found throughout each section of game.

    What story? Great. 5/5 ☑
    Beautifully romanticized tale of evil versus good which is accompanied by great fully voiced performances, new characters giving it the proper spice of feel for believability. It spans to 1349 over the course of chapters towards the end. Game has got real fantasy features, like bloodthirsty rats, secret magic and seems to be set in realistic world. Details of pictures and symbols on the walls are also serving the story purpose, collectibles adding up to the educational level towards historical and factual grounds.

    Game play? Great. 4.5/5 ☑
    3rd person view. Female protagonist. More than a dozen of linear chapters with side roads for achievements and collectibles. There is so much loot all the time, essentially making each situation solvable. Puzzles are rather easy, in any case you have got enough time to think of them, no pressure. Enemies are mostly pretty passive or walking predictable paths with various options to distract or eliminate them. In case of disturbing enemies, there is fast action and movement required. There is no pacifist approach to most situations, making you lose the innocence in the process. However, Amicia leading her brother is teaching him something useful as well. Your inventory items and their respective recipes are being unlocked as you proceed, they are limited by maximum amount which can be improved by crafting bigger backpacks.

    Re playability? Good. 3/5 ☑
    I was looking under each stone besides the first chapter, while avoiding dangers I missed 11 achievements. I could find more flowers, gifts and even more peculiarities. To collect them all might be the reason to play the second time because otherwise the story and approach would be the same, unless maybe taking out more enemies and discovering interesting side stories.

    Graphics? Nice. 5/5 ☑
    Colorful and shadowy environments contrast each other. Sometimes blurry, sometimes very sharp. Daylight giving you chills, nighttime feeding you horrors. The stories are also much more lighthearted once the sun is up, stumbling across the dark areas filled with more scruples to overcome.

    Music? 5/5 ☑
    It is rather dynamic, emotional, mostly in the melancholic background, supporting storytelling and indicating something happening during moments.

    Hardware requirements? Mid range. ☑
    It ran very smooth and probably even lower range gaming PCs might run this.

    How difficult? Easy. ☑ Normal. ☑

    How long? 10-19 hours. ☑

    Verdict
    9/10 Approachable adventure with kids and rich fantasy story with curses, easy puzzles requiring a little bit of patience, your companions will indicate solutions for you, linear world reminded me of Metro Last Light, enough space for running around and collecting interesting objects, beautiful atmosphere, smooth performance.

    What a great narrative experience this game was. I loved every minute of this game and you can tell this was created with lots of TLC. Some of my favorite moments has to do with being strategic with your moves as well as with your supplies. As you progress through the game, I found myself having to figure out more and more different ways to get past guards which made for a great challenge.What a great narrative experience this game was.

    -Musical score was great. It really brought out the moments of sadness, dread, happiness, and shock.
    -Game mechanics were easy to learn and adapt
    -Upgrade system for your sling/tools/pouch was simple and effective
    -Voice acting was fantastic.

    I got this on a sale so it was well worth it but I would even say that at full price you're getting your moneys worth. Very happy with how this game turned out and I look forward to more projects from this studio.

    Firstly i have to say that i really don't understand how people today would rate this game as high as they have. How can you justify score this high with game like this?

    While the game has very nice graphics and overall atmosphere and kinda unique combat system, it it very lacking as a game. The game is basicly a 9 hour (yes, ONLY 9 HOURS) interactive story / tunnel run with "click e to open door" and "shoot x by pressing xx" from start to finish. There is a single straight path through all the chapters, with no exploration what so ever. And the character development is just "your pouch now carries 4 more shots" type of thing, while you will never have any use for added components, or other upgrades. You can easily finish the game without any upgrades done.

    Also the game is extremely easy. Puzzles are like "push cart into the wall", "move xx to xx". While the game actually says what you need to do.

    I get it that some people might enjoy the story but for me personally it was just plain stupid. The story starts as very promising and realistic tale of plague in middleage europe, but very quickly evolves into very very stupid one with fantasy elements.

    Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS FOR FULL PRICE. Get it for free (like it is now on Epic) or from some major discount, and be mindful that it is just a bland tunnelrun with rather stupid story that lasts for only 9 HOURS.

    The only thing i didin't like it's a lack of various endings. It's very strange cuz the game has all instruments to make it. For instance the easiest way is to make a bad ending for those who killed everyone on the way and to make a good ending for those who tried to evade any kills.
    However I enjoyed this game and i wanted to say thx a lot to the developers for this fascinating adventure.

The graphics are beyond good, character and environment design is the proof that the developers have put a lot of effort into it: realistic, believable and detailed, Quixel Megascans is an excellent resource. If I had to point out a wrong aspect of the game it would probably be some dialogues; at times they feel less meaningful than they should be, as if the writers held themselves back, but maybe it has to do with the fact that the characters are children. I hope I can get to play more games like these on PC. Expand

Y bueno, es tu hermano al fin y al cabo, pero a fin de cuentas sabés que cuando llegue el momento vas a tirarte al pozo que lleva directo al infierno si hace falta.
    No es muy rebuscado en las mecánicas, mayormente de sigilo, que aporta o en los puzzles que habrá que resolver, no siempre con una única salida pero siempre accesible.
    El gameplay entretiene pero, no hay que confundirse, el punto fuerte del juego está en la historia y en la capacidad del jugador para empatizar con la misma. Y ya que es de lo que va el juego, es en lo que se basa principalmente MI calificación personal.

    Personalmente, el final por un segundo me hizo pensar que algo estaba faltando por contar, no se si fue a causa de un (¿intencional?) cruce de miradas entre dos personajes o qué, pero deja con ganas de una secuela o al menos uno o dos capítulos mas en DLC para resolver ciertas cosas que creo que pueden quedar dando vueltas en la cabeza de uno luego del final.

    Good:

    + Graphics
    + Voice acting: among the best I've ever seen
    + Music: utterly amazing, especially how it adapts to the situation on the fly (when you're seen or being chased the music starts playing dramatically compared to the peaceful tune when you're in hiding)
    + Characters: the handful of characters are very fleshed out and I really cared about what happened to them

    Bad:
    - Nothing, this is perfection.

    TL;DR: If you like emotional stories, I can only give this the highest recommendation. Worth every single penny.

Yes, the developers tried to add new mechanics as the story goes on by giving the player some new toys, but the problem is - it's all about throwing different stuff at different objects, that's it. No puzzles, no weapons except of Amicia's sling, no interesting interactions with companions and the worst of all - closer to the end they turned it into a bad action game. This part is not that long, but it's really frustrating because of how aiming works. Since it's meant for consoles, you have auto aim, so it's not challenging at all. Well, sometimes it is, but not because it requires some skill, but because mentioned auto aim decides to drop it's target sometimes, and if it happens, the game counts it as a missed shot even though the stone flies right through the enemie's head. It doesn't spoil the game completely as the plot is still great, but it harms the overall experience.
    It doesn't mean that pure stealth sections are flawless though. The guards are, guess what, blind and partially deaf. When you roam thorough high grass that doesn't cover you at all and make a lot of noise and even whisper, one have to be a legendary retard to not spot you, it just breaks the immersion.
    The other annoying thing is resources and how the need of them interrupts storytelling sometimes. Like you have a pretty dramatic scene, but you ruin it yourself by running all around like an idiot trying to find another piece of leather, great.

    So, yeah, in the end it feels like you have to dig through average and sometimes annoying gameplay just to get a new portion of well written story. With that good graphics, sound and script It could have been a really good interactive movie, but we got what we got.

    I'd give it it 7.5, but since I have to chose between yellow 7 and green 8, I'll give it 8.

Bu çeşitlilikte oyundaki bulmacalarla birleşince güzel bir deneyim sunuyor fakat bir süre sonra benzer işler yapmaktan mütevellit sıkılmaya başlıyorsunuz. Bölümlerde daha fazla mekanik çeşitlilik sağlanabilirdi. Loot olayı bu oyunda da var ve ben her ne kadar loot olayını sevmesem de bu oyunda çok güzel olmuş. Müzikler olarak gerçekten çok iyi iş çıkarmışlar. Sonuç olarak elimizde hikaye sunumu ve karakterlerin işlenişi açısından çok güzel bir oyun var.

    - Головоломки. Они по началу выглядят многообещающе, но в отличии от остальных игр, в этой чем дальше ты продвигаешься в сюжете, тем легче головоломки и это небольшой минус.
    - Баги. я встретил их всего два раза, но встретил же. Ой ну да больше минусов нет, я не знаю к чему докопаться поэтому - баги. Но в целом для игры которую делало 40 человек баги простительны.

Inconsistent world rules, confusing character motivation and hokey dialogue really weighs this story down. What's really frustrating is that it's JUST compelling enough to hook you into caring, while not delivering on those ties at all. The graphics and setting also really well executed, which is just painful considering what they could have done with it. Everything else? Really, really bad. The game-play is forced and boring at best, and painfully frustrating at the worst. For a game with no real skill involved, it's fairly baffling that you can die so often.

    worth playing, not sure worth buying full price for a one time run, recomend the xbox game pass for cases like this.

    Aventura nada exigente con el jugador que sorprende gratamente por su calidad gráfica, tanto por lo detallado de los escenarios como por su estupenda ambientación medieval, con un montón de detalles a descubrir en forma de coleccionables y su correspondiente descripción.
    La historia, que debería ser también su referente, flaquea en varios momentos importantes, dejando una sensación final

    A Plague Tale: Innocence could have used more high quality facial animations and better-than-serviceable gameplay, but these shortcomings ultimately cannot trump its impressive atmosphere and technical achievements.

    We got good story, interesting setting and cool atmosphere of France at 1300s. But also we got bad gameplay. I can't play in this game. Developer just take ALL bad thing that can be in gameplay and mix it. Better watch it on youtube or somewhere else. 7/10 and only becouse of atmosphere.
    It's good like movie but bad like game.

    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 has astonishing graphics, a great soundtrack, a nice gameplay. Recommend for players which like immersive games. The mid-end of game get a little lost in terms of history and gameplay: the puzzles and rats challenges gets very odd and the history doesnt close very well, but fits. I give it a 8.0 Great.

    I went into this blind. A great surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed the story of Amicia and Hugo, great voice actors and animations. Good to see a game of this calibre from a smaller studio. It looks amazing too and I believe on their own engine.

    A plague tale: Innocence es una aventura cinemática y lineal con mucho en común con grandes nombres de la industria como The Last of us. El principal fuerte de este tipo de juegos es su historia, aunque en este caso el apartado técnico, sin ser un triple A, es tambien excelente. Nos entregan un producto perfectamente pulido en cuanto a acabado y optimización. Totalmente disfrutable, sinA plague tale: Innocence es una aventura cinemática y lineal con mucho en común con grandes nombres de la industria como The Last of us. El principal fuerte de este tipo de juegos es su historia, aunque en este caso el apartado técnico, sin ser un triple A, es tambien excelente. Nos entregan un producto perfectamente pulido en cuanto a acabado y optimización. Totalmente disfrutable, sin errores, de principio a fin. Con un bello y detallado apartado gráfico que muestra la Edad Media francesa con todo detalle, y un control sencillo e intuitivo que implementa mecánicas muy cuidadas en las que sobresale el sigilo, la resolución de puzzles y un testimonial combate que será de utilidad solo en contadas ocasiones, puesto que pelear contra caballeros pesados con armadura, siendo una muchacha adolescente, no es precisamente realista.

    El juego se centra en Amicia, una joven noble que vive feliz en su chateau con sus padres, un señor feudal de bajo rango, pero con tierras y vasallos a su cargo, su madre, una eminente médico y alquimista y su joven hermano Hugo, enfermo de un extraño mal del que no saben practicamente nada, al menos en apariencia. Un día, soldados de la inquisición hacen aparición en su casa y matan a todos, la madre le encarga a Amicia que se lleve a Hugo y lo proteja hasta llegar a la casa de un alquimista que le dirá que es lo que tiene que hacer. La inquisición tiene interés en el chaval y no dejará de perseguirlo hasta haberlo apresado. Aqui, pues, comenzará nuestra aventura en pos de la cura del chaval. En el camino conoceremos a nuestros aliados y enemigos y la oscura motivación de estos últimos.

    Mención especial merecen los ‘combates’, por llamarlos de algún modo, con las ratas. Los efectos de las oleadas de ratas que lo infestan todo es espectacular. Como se mueven al unísono,pareciendo un verdadero mar negro, los cientos de pares de ojos rojos que brillan en la oscuridad al acecho de que abandones la luz para devorarte sin remilgos y los ingeniosos puzzles que el juego propone para librarse de ellas o bien utilizarlas como aliadas involuntarias.

    Si te gustan los juegos cinemáticos, con una historia de película detrás, A Plague Tale: Innocence es un buen candidato para pasar un fin de semana muy entretenido. Su duración, entre las 12 y 14 horas que nos ha llevado a nosotros es más que suficiente para este tipo de juegos. Además disfrutarás de un juego con una calidad de triple A sin serlo, con un acabado gráfico impecable y un control pulido y con mecánicas variadas. Recomendado. A por la segunda parte.

    It's unlikely Innocence will lead to an epidemic of similarly snappy games, but we'd love this particular contagion to catch on. [Issue#341, p.116]

    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.
