    Such an amazing game! I love single player only driven stories, no multiplayer is needed. A Plague Tales stealth is really quite enjoyable, Amecia's bond with her brother Hugo is such a good one, and the supporting characters fit right in with the story. If you are a lover of story only games and are tired of mindless multiplayer crap shooters, than this game is a must play!

    All thru out of game strongly reminded me of The Last of Us. Stealth, check! Surrogate parent-child relationship going from total strangers to true family, check! Action sequences, check! Brutal environment, double check. It is like The Last of Us on budget, but Asobo did the maximum with limited resources they had.

    This is the first game of this type I've ever played and I am really delighted. This is just something wonderful and I did not expect such a wonderful game.
    The story and atmosphere drag you into the game so much, you won't stop playing.
    I love this game. Strongly recommended to all you guys !
    Big congrats to developers team cause made a really good job.

    Excellent game. The story was beautifully written, and the characters were wonderfully acted (Amicia's actress deserves an award for that acting during the dream-sequence, she did amazingly).

    The game strikes an interesting balance between combat and stealth: You sometimes HAVE to pick one or the other, but many times it gives you an option between sneaking and fighting. It all comes
    Excellent game. The story was beautifully written, and the characters were wonderfully acted (Amicia's actress deserves an award for that acting during the dream-sequence, she did amazingly).

    The game strikes an interesting balance between combat and stealth: You sometimes HAVE to pick one or the other, but many times it gives you an option between sneaking and fighting. It all comes down to the resources you've collected (they're semi-scarce). It works well for people who prefer one or the other.

    I am VERY excited for a sequel. This has a lot of potential for a series.

    It is a lot of dialogues. You don't manage to read. Especially, when it is necessary to move. The text quickly disappears and is badly readable. Really it was impossible to make a postscoring for Russia? Generally, game interesting.

    This game deserves your hard earned cash! Do NOT trust the average review scores by major gaming websites. The story is GREAT, the graphics are GREAT and the game-play is also GREAT!

    This game oozes immersion, but not in ways one might think.

    There were moments in other games, such as God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn where the pieces came together to tell a compelling story, but not since The Last of Us did I feel as emotionally engaged and so immersed in the game. What is amazing is that the elements and game play are very simple, nothing new, and almost casual.

    What is amazing is that the elements and game play are very simple, nothing new, and almost casual. It's not open world and it's almost on the rails at times as levels direct you from point A to point B. Puzzles are for the most part simple, and combat and stealth nothing new. It's not even a long game. However, the framework that holds it together from the music to the graphics to the pacing is scripted, acted, and directed to perfection.

    Beautiful game on so many levels.

    This game feels familiar yet it does things I've never experienced before, i think it'll go down as a cult classic given enough times. Don't skip on it, it's worth your time.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a very story-driven sneak-em-up that has a wonderful aesthetic and a great moody atmosphere. You play as Amicia de Rune and briefly as her little brother Hugo as they battle a plague of rats and a nuts religious order who are determined to murder them.

    You'll spend most of your time sneaking around and solving puzzles with light to scare away the rats, with the odd battle with some angry Inquisition folks thrown in for good measure. Oh, and some boss fights... I really hate boss fights.

    The gameplay is fun, and they do a good job of keeping things fresh by giving you new tools to navigate the environment. The graphics, music and acting are pretty decent too, but the story is where it really shines. You really come to care for your ragtag band of misfits, and the interaction between the big sister and her pain in the bum brother is a real highlight.

    So why the 8? Well, did I mention I hate boss fights? Especially ones where there is an unskippable talking bit before them, so when you die, you have to go through all that again? Also, one-hit kills. I totally get it, and they make sense for most of the game, and then archers appear, and, well, those guys can go *£&%*£$£^*^£

    *grumbles*

    Anyway, it's a great game that is the perfect length and well worth the price of admission, but it does have its little niggles that will make your teeth grind.

Your only weapon is a slingshot which can be upgraded with different abilities. Action fans might find it to be boring.

It takes place in France during a period of time that is not often explored by video games. The visuals are beautifully colored, but the vibrant colors do not ruin the dark mood of the story at all. The linear design of each chapter allows for the artistic design to include very detailed textures. However, it may be too linear sometimes because some puzzles are clearly intended to be solved in one exact way without room for creative experimentation.
    The gameplay mainly consists of sneaking and fleeing past the enemies. At times, it can be satisfying to escape without detection. Other times, it feels like the game is just playing itself because the path forward is pretty obvious.
    The game establishes really strong characters. Each one is distinct from each other and clear with their intentions.
    It does not have much "replay value," unfortunately. Therefore, I suggest you should take your time and really enjoy your first playthrough. Subsequent playthroughs feel like a long trudge through sticky mud.
    A couple minor issues include: allies getting in your way and some unnatural dialogue that seemed out of place.

    Так же не понравились последние уровни игры. Зачем-то разработчики решили показать, что у них еще и экшен есть и наваливают, тупо убиваемых в лоб, противников кучами. Не к месту.
    Боссов маловато и те собраны в двух финальных уровнях.

    Stealth and story lead the way in this awesome 10 hour game! Really felt connected to the characters. The mood of the game was set and maintained well to always make things feel uneasy and dark although the older sister must keep hope and keep pushing for her brother.

    This game is a masterpiece in its graphics, has decent gameplay, a compelling story and impeccable scenarios. However, the story and characters are a bit bland, it's very short, the facial expressions are mediocre and the photo mode is quite bugged. But the platinum is very good, even if the game costs a maximum of $ 15.

    I can’t recall how I heard about this game, but I’m certainly glad I did. The story for the game and utilization of environmental elements is definitely unique. The characters are memorable, and were easy to grow an emotion attachment to. The only downside of the game for me was the emphasis on stealth. Stealth has never been my strongpoint when it comes to gaming.

    Sure, it may not be anyone's cup of tea, but if you want to play something different, with great story & design, Plague Tale is for you. Enjoyed every second of it.

    I must say that I've been surprised by how easily I got engaged in the story. You really get invested into it and it's a damn good one. The ost, voiceacting, level design are all on point. Despite the amazing story, gameplay wasn't really that great, nothing "wow" about it. I highly recommend this to everyone that loves a well written game and we don't really have enough of these these days.

    A Plague Tale doesn't have a deep story that will amaze you but it is interesting enough to keep you going forward even though it is predictable. This adventure game looks really nice for a non AAA title. You play as a girl that travels together with her brother and one of the main tasks is to avoid hordes of rats and solve some environmental puzzles that aren't too hard, most of them.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a game that starts slow but drags you in the more you play. Over the course of the roughly 15 hours I spent with this game I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this game, despite it's flaws.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is a game that starts slow but drags you in the more you play. Over the course of the roughly 15 hours I spent with this game I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed this game, despite it's flaws.

    The game let's you play as Amicia de Rune, a young noble woman, who is tasked with taking care of her brother, Hugo de Rune, after an event that takes place at the start of the game. The story is well put together and the pacing is just right, it keeps you engaged while throwing little bits of information at you to piece the story together.

    Gameplay however, can be a chore at times. The gameplay varies from light puzzle solving to stealth/combat. The combat and stealth is very linear and it is almost always very clear what direction you need to go. Only after getting different abilities the combat and stealth start to open up but that is roughly 3/4 into the game. It's a shame because the stealth is tense and rewarding because Amicia only has a sling, you're not a soldier. The game would benefit from more player choice in tackling objectives and getting through situations.

    Sound design and music is incredible, low strings make my hands sweat during stealth sections, slow and high strings make emotional scenes that much more touching. Voice acting, especially the English voices, are lacking in some areas. On top of that, some of the animations are quite rough and in scenes where facial animations can add alot, there are barely any. Throughout the game there is a dissonance between what is being said/happening and how the characters react to that.

    It is clear to me that the team who made this game is incredibly talented and passionate about making experiences that people get emotionally invested in the world and characters. I'd love to see more of A Plague Tale on the new generation, with new tech, better animations, improved voice acting and visuals.

    I just finished the game and i all i can say is, It Is really good. The game itself may not be long but the scenario is wonderful from the beginning to the end. The games goes straight to the point and show us what we came from. A story about the Plague and a sister who tries to save his brother from his curse. I wish i could just explore the world i little more but its still really good.

    There’s a lot lifted from other games in A Plague Tale, but somehow there’s nothing cynical about it. This is a full-hearted reach for the big time of AAA storytelling that succeeds in the most important departments, thanks to its sparkling polish and subtle characterisation. It’s one of a handful of games for which I could tell you the personality traits and motivations of not just the protagonists, but four or five secondary characters. Consider this review a carrier: Asobo Studio is a name that’s going to spread.

    Aside from the basic gameplay and a few rough edges, A Plague Tale: Innocence tells an incredibly gripping story about a couple of kids in the most grim circumstances imaginable. It nails the horrifying setting with standout visuals and a thick atmosphere that is worth experiencing at least once. If you're looking for the next great story to play through, A Plague Tale is definitely it.

    I thoroughly enjoyed A Plague Tale: Innocence from start to finish and cannot fault this title at all. While the gameplay is fluid that is accompanied by excellent graphics and audio, where A Plague Tale – Innocence shines is with its characters and the way it tells their story. So if you’re upset at how Game of Thrones ended and need a story that is told correctly, A Plague Tale – Innocence does that flawlessly.
