    - Grafica : Ottimo il comparto tecnico, ratti fatti con cura maniacale, ambienti molto curati sia gli interni sia gli esterni. Volti dei personaggi molto credibili e anche se le animazioni non sono al top come un tripla AAA tutto è davvero ben fatto.

    - Colonna sonoro : Davvero meravigliosa e audio in game perfetto, non ho trovato nessun difetto.

    - Gameplay : Movimento dei personaggi poteva essere migliorato in determinate zone per rendere tuo più fluido ma comunque non ci si può lamentare. I ratti sono bellissimi e si muovo in maniera realistica. Scontri con determinati nemici davvero ottimi e trovate geniali per quanto riguarda gli scontri e soluzioni trovater per racconrae la storia che è il vero fulcro del gioco...davvero i miei complimeti perchè la narrativa supera molti titoli che vengono lanciati a prezzo pieno e che poi falliscono deludendo le aspettative.

    Longevita : io andando piano con calma e osservando tutto ma proprio tutto ho impiegato circa 18 ore, chiaro che se si corre impiegherete circa 12-15 ore ma comunque resta un'aspetto positivo.

    Conclusione : Asobo al primo colpo non sbaglia,dopo anni di sola collaborazione con microsoft butta sul mercato un gran bel gioco ove narrativa e trovati geniali lo rendono un prodotto da comprare e giocare...consigliato davvero!!!

    Grazie Asobo per avermi fatto vivere la storia di Amicia e Hugo!    … Expand

    I really like games with good graphics and a good story. it kind of reminds me of Hellblade because the focus is not on combat as much as enjoying the story and the environment. It does have a number of stressful moments dealing with the rats and enemies however it never gets punishing.

    This is phenomenal for an indie game. Yeah, it has a few flaws and it is a little simplistic. But it is just so much fun to sneak around and take out the bad guy in such unique ways. I never found it dull or boring.

    The stealth is a little basic like that of A Way Out, but overall the game is a lot like The Last of Us without the shooting. There is some combat, but it is more like the combat in The Last Guardian. It also reminds me of Ico.
    The puzzles are easy, but taking out the enemies in different ways can be fun and creative.
    There are even a couple nice boss fights that remind me of the 2000s Tomb Raider games, or maybe Baba Yaga from Rise of the Tomb Raider.
    Overall it is somewhat easy, but still a great experience, and quite beautiful. In that respect it reminds me of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.
    If you like any of the above-mentioned games or Inside, Limbo, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, RiMe, or Thief you'll probably like A Plague Tale.    … Expand

The gameplay is also really good but in a way that others can dislike (Will go into details later). It is a stealth game set in the medieval age in the year 1348 during the plague which can also be considered as survival horror with puzzles. It is the story of 14 year old Amicia de Rune who lives in the French countryside with her noble family. Her life changes drastically when the Inquisition arrives and wants to arrest her estranged younger brother Hugo. This is the start of an odyssey as both are on the run without help and support against a powerful organization with well armed knights, huge numbers and influence like no other organization at the time. The story is engaging and completely nails the feeling of dread and fear. I like how the story enfolds when you get more and more answers. It is also believable and immersive. The well written characters enhance this. You can feel Amicia’s struggles as she must protect her little brother and make harsh decisions or her approx 5 year old brother Hugo who struggles with the understanding of the whole situation. They are also a bit estranged as Hugo was ill since childhood and she has barley contact with him because of this. It ends not there as the other characters which I wont spoil have all their own motives, character and world views. There is no out of character moment and I can relate to everyone. For the gameplay: It is a great stealth game where you are up against superior enemies. Amicia just has a sling to defend herself which is a joke against a fully armored knight. However there is stealth, distractions, items and things in the environment you can use for advantage. You can always find a good tactic to outsmart or defeat your enemies. During the game you gain new tools or better said receipts that open new possibilities. This keeps the gameplay feeling fresh. The equipment can be upgraded in a system that reminded me of “The Last of Us”. You find items like for example leather, sulfur, stones or alcohol. With these you can create special ammunition with different effects or upgrade your equipment, weapon or inventory with them if you have a special item called tools and reach a workbench. I must mention that some upgrades are incredible useful. However there are rarer items you need for upgrades that are more hidden offside the main path in the levels. Then there are the puzzles. You have some to reach different parts of a level, continue the story or defeat enemies. Those are creative and enjoyable but follow often the same concepts. Fire and light play a big role in them. In total I really enjoyed the gameplay and will praise the game here too. The survival horror elements are (scare) item management, powerful enemies and scary situations that get you killed in ways I want not to think about. I must warn you here as some scenes are maybe a bit to much for some. Especially if you fear rats. Also the Inquisition does some pretty messed up things like they did in real life and there will be some awful choices the characters must do to survive. Presentation wise the art style is truly convincing. It looks like the medieval ages and gets the feeling of a plague ridden region right. The towns, locations and castles are immersive. The graphics look excellent and especially the characters feel alive and realistic. The soundtrack was really good and I often thought during the game how it enhances the atmosphere. There are some negatives: The levels are not that big outside the main path. Some will make the hallway walking simulator argument. You run into dead ends quite fast if you explore the levels. Also backtracking is not possible. Often I took the path that lead to the next part of the level and could not explore a branching part from before anymore. For me it is not a problem as the game does a good job to make the most out of the levels and it is satisfying for me. There is still a lot to explore but not on an open world game level. I had a bug in chapter 10 that left me in an unwinnable situation as a scripted event did not start. I replayed the whole chapter to continue. Lastly the variety in the puzzles might be not that numerous enough for others. Again I had no problem with this but it is valid enough to mention. Overall this was a remarkable game and I consider it an insider tip. The great story, characters and presentation are worth a 10/10 for me despite the flaws. I am hyped for the sequel and fully recommend the game… Expand

Not only is this one of the most graphically impressive and beautiful games (the lighting is unmatched) I've ever played, but the characters, story and gameplay pull you right into the world and really never let go. I actually CARED about the people in this game and found it difficult to put down the controller. This is "survival horror" at its best and so many developers and publishers should be taking notes. Watching hordes of evil plague rats devour living victims in no time, or having Crusading henchmen chasing after you are actually nothing compared to the other frights awaiting you. And let's talk about that soundtrack... Easily one of the best in gaming. I really wish there was a Collector's Edition of this game!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Two thumbs up to the developers of this game. Loved, loved, loved it. I am so happy this came out because I have been disappointed terribly by the 2019 games so far. The voice acting was great, as were the relationships between the characters. I like the graphics, and like the Unchartered games the gifts were very difficult to find. I do believe you can go back and replay the chapter to pick up what you missed. I found the combat, and puzzles very challenging. Getting around was interesting, and the concept of the game was good. The story was amazing. I enjoyed every minute I played. The game was just so much fun. I didn't know a slingshot could do so much damage. I was glad it was all about the combat, and a lot of stealth involved (Hugo) was great. I had just come from playing Sekiro, and the was so much more fun. There were plenty of tense moments. Please support this small developer, and buy this game. We need more games like this and Hellblade.… Expand

    With beautiful visuals, haunting yet atmospheric music, excellent sound and voice acting and brilliant and heartfelt writing with incredible polish that rivals AAA titles, A Plague Tale: Innocence is every bit a game AAA titles should aspire to be.

Yet a small team of 45 has done the unthinkable and has outdone most games far above its budget with pure love and passion.

    The gameplay provides a linear and streamlined experience with enough variety to keep players interested without giving too much to overwhelm or distract the player from the heart and soul of the game i.e. the tale of a journey of two innocent children through a medieval dark world full of death and chaos. This game brings the savagery of Game of Thrones, the heart of The Last of Us, the polish of Unchartered 4, the atmosphere of Bloodborne and a decent stealth-based mechanic that will appeal to casual players as well as satiate more hardcore players.

    If you've been repeatedly disappointed by the run in the mill AAA games that frequently fail to deliver to the hype, buy this game instead, you will not be disappointed. This game is easily a best game contender of 2019 with the likes of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Devil May Cry 5.

The only thing I wished improve with the aiming, somethings the auto aim was very good or very garbage, I aimed at a soldier but just goes through them, it sometimes feels like it’s me against, but besides that the gameplay and story are amazing, This could be seen as a very good PlayStation game with the controller haptic feedback, it feels like a game people would buy a PS5 for. For me like RE7 and Until Dawn, it feels more like a PS5 game then Xbox or Nintendo. 100% would recommend for someone who is into strategy games like Uncharted or… basically like Uncharted. But the main thing in the game is the story, amazing, adding with the amazing voice actors, especially from Charlotte Mcburney. A Games like, created by a group of 45 shows me hope in a incredible future of small team game creation. Something I love the most with small teams or indie games is that they usually don't get pressure from money, it's about making good game where you can get respect by making good game after good games. While other games like Fifa, Madden or other games are just cheap ways on getting money. I just hope Asobo Studio doesn't add politics in anythings. I think companies should just be companies, bot humans, kinda like a robot having an opinion on where you eat because everyone other place is bad, just don't make it political, or be brought by EA...

    i thought the last of us was tense, but this game made to re-think the concepts of being tense. The game started simple and mysterious, im close to the end, and i couldnt help, i had to come here to say that this game was a surprise to me, i knew it would be good, but not that good.

Personally, I could not stop playing the game was worse than one of his favorite series every chapter ends up always so exciting that you want to continue playing to know what happens. I myself needed about 16 hours for my first run I find personally not too long not too short just right for a nice story. Clear Purchase Recommendation owe it to the game and buy it you will not regret it.    … Expand

    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.

    I literally signed up for an account just to give love to this game. Studios making original, unique single player games are too rare in 2019 and we should all be thankful and encouraging when something this gorgeous and thoughtful is released. From somebody who doesn't generally love linear games, all I can say is "This game is as perfect as it set out to be." I love it so much.

This game is worth every penny and more as it provides an experience you don't find in many games today. Easily falls in the MASTERPIECE category and deserves a sequel.

    I wasn't a fan of the gameplay at first. To be honest this could have been an interactive movie about a brother and sister being pursed by the inquisition, and I would have been fine with that; but as it went on, it grew on me. By the end, when some revelations happen I was very much enjoying the sneaking-taking-cover and taking inquisition guards out silently.
    It is a small game, but it is told beautifully. The voice actors, devs, and the music composer all came to create a heart-touching, wonderful story of growing up, innocence, and love.

    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.
