    So I haven't been able to play many games due to work and being tired but I got this game for Christmas and was very excited. Honestly I've made time for this game and have stayed up knowing I'm going to absolutely exhausted the next day. I love everything about this game and I don't believe enough people have played it. Looking for a new game? Give Plague Tale Innocence a chance

    Fantastic graphics, sound, story and gameplay. Fans of The Last of Us may like to play this while they wait for the sequel, as it has similar stealth and crafting elements. One of my top 5 games of 2019. Superb.

    Ein absolutes Highlight des Spielejahres 2019. Das Spiel hat eine sehr gute Story und eine dichte Atmosphäre. Auch ist es ein schöner Kontrast zu den immergleichen Spielen von Ubisoft und co. Bitte mehr davon.

    Worth your time. Despite the lack of challenging, It's an amazing game with heartful story and soberb sound design and graphics.

    Un maravilloso titulo. Con una narrativa sensacional y una historia muy buena, la verdad es que sus 10-12 horitas las disfrutas de lo lindo. Lo recomiendo sinceraemnte.
    PD: Las hordas descomunales de ratas son una pasada.

    One of the best titles of 2019 considering its budget. The rat swarm mechanics are frightening at times, while the story and gameplay ramps up signficantly as you progress. Even the voice acting is incredible. Definitely play!

There are plenty of instances where you kill an enemy that has a sword with him, why doesn´t your character pick that sword up, you are being chased and people want to kill you on every turn, perhaps having a sword with you could be a good idea don´t you think, (the same example with a bow, or an ax etc) but your character prefers to pick up rocks instead...she could pick up both you know... Overall an ok game, very linear (it could be good or bad depending on your tastes), it plays similar in style to Tomb Raider without the platforming or shooting, and with a lot easier puzzles.. One other thing the boy Hugo is annoying as hell so be advised that you´ll hear his annoying complaining a lot... This game has potential I would reallly like a sequel where your character could fight if spotted, without an annoying kid, and tougher puzzles, and maybe add platforming sequences..… Expand

    Such an amazing game, beautiful characters that get you hooked and you want to find out more and more! One thing that I'd recommend is to play this with the french dub as it feels much more natural than the english one

    One of the best games I've ever played and I've played a ton of games

    A hidden gem! Had the same feeling as when I found Hellblade - complete surprise that you can get this level of game experience from games that go a little under the radar. The story is beautiful, and the gameplay works well around it. Those darn rats are so creepy.

    This game is The Last Of Us meets 13th century France.
    I stumbled upon this game by chance and as soon as I found it I knew I wanted this one. The story is great, the dialogue is amazing.
    Docked points for graphics. It didn't look as crisp as today's games look, but man is this game amazing! If in doubt about this one I can tell you you'll love it!

    Where did this game come from? It wasn't hyped that much but turned out to be unreal.
    The first 10 minutes made me think it was going to be **** for some reason but it quickly turns that around.
    The story is one of the best I've ever seen in a game. Reminds me of the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones. The atmosphere is so good
    The gameplay is unorthodox but good as well. Solid 9.5/10

    A beautiful game with a wonderful story and characters to love and hate. The game contrast it’s beautiful set pieces and some generally horrifying moments. A highly enjoyable game i’ll remember for some time.

    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.

    My all time favorite game ever. Beautiful world, incredibly well written and rich story (possibly one of the best I've played), lovable characters that you connect with, and excellent voice acting. 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.

    Giving it a 7 as a sign of support. If you like sneaking around, great visuals, babysit a kid and don’t mind repetition then this game is perfect for you.

    On the other hand, if you prefer to wreck a town with heavy swords fromsoftware style then this game will disappoint you. My heart gives it a 4/10 but that’s my opinion.

    It's definitely not as good as all the reviews said. The graphic and atmosphere was really good, but the story wasn't a big deal. At the and of the game, the gameplay was very frustrating. You had to fight, but it was originally a stealth game, so the compulsory fighting sections just didn't work. It's not worth 45 Euro.

    Great game.
    I played it first alone and then with my 11 year old daughter.
    Strongest points are story, visuals, gameplay and music.
    I loved the game's length, it took me some 15 hours.
    Not a fan of games that are repetitive for the sake of extending its lengths.

    Very surprised by this little game. Picked up when on sale and didn't regret it.
    Interesting use of limited range weapons, stealth and "extra" abilities later on. It's suspenseful as fun. Short chapters make this an easy on to pop in and out of. Must play for lovers of indie games!

    Not impressed with this game. The gameplay was fun and interesting at the start but soon became repetitive and straight out silly. The story... jeez... it was okay, but just took a turn for being ridiculous. Also, there was way to much trial and error where you gotta die and fiddle around with dumb controls to get the solution to work. The last few chapters I longed for it to be over.

I bought it for half price, not worth it. I'd say if you can buy it for 10 dollar, sure, go for it. But not worth full price, or even half. Regretted buying it.… Expand

    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.
