    I came across the game by chance and the theme he chose is nice, but the problem is that most of the game is like the last of us and you usually repeat a lot of things. For example, you have to get rid of the man, you throw a jar somewhere and surprise the man.

    The gameplay here is extremely restrictive. You are often forced to do things a very particular way, and should you not you will run into very sharp difficulty spikes.

You are often forced to do things a very particular way, and should you not you will run into very sharp difficulty spikes. The game makes you feel like an actor following a script and not a player in a simulated scenario. This already kills it for me but what makes this game even worse is how horribly stupid our main characters are in every situation. This game is just chockfull of characters making aggravatingly stupid decisions constantly and if you're someone like me who gets really bothered by this than you will hate this game. And I don't mean stupid decisions that is understandable for the characters to make, no I mean that they make purposefully dumb decisions that no human being would ever make, undeveloped or otherwise, just to justify the next scenario. And in the end it is in service of a terrible story which truly fly's off the goddamn rails at the end. Not really sure what it is I'm supposed to see in this game besides a strong presentation.… Expand

    Great, just filled with game breaking bugs. An otherwise excellent title, but filled with unforgivable game breaking bugs

    Almost finished it but just couldn’t get past a stage where you have to fight off soldiers while staying behind a moving cart that is protecting you from archers.

Died over and over so many times. Sometimes hit by an arrow from an impossible angle. I swear I was safely behind the cart enough that there’s no way an arrow could have hit me. Sometimes my reticle would inexplicably move off a target and then the approaching soldier would kill me. Sometimes the reticle just refused to aim onto a soldier before they reached me. Sometimes keeping an eye on my position relative to the cart meant that I just couldn’t turn back in time to hit a soldier before they got me or if I didn’t check my position, I would get hit by an archer. A massive exercise in frustration and tedium which summed up my experience of this game. The story was OK, the graphics were great but the gameplay absolutely sucked beyond words. This is without doubt the worst gaming experience I’ve had in over 10 years. I cannot believe it’s got such a high average score.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра ужасна. Она плюёт на свою же логику. Она постоянно скатывается в само повтор. Но по порядку. Сначала вам будет интересно. Загадки, интересные, не сильно сложные. Есть тайники и место для исследования. Но уже ближе к середине вы поймете, что вы делаете одно и тоже действия. Крысы вас будут бесить. Они не сложные. Они не вписываются в концепцию мира. Они кажутся инородными. Мистическими, как-будто находишься в фэнтези. Персонажи не далекие. Импульсивные, бесячии. Брат это вообще я бы его придушил. Из за него столько народу погибло. В начале мыши боятся огня. В середине они бросаются и тушат огонь. Где логика? В начале вы бегает от мышей. В конце вы бегаете с мышами. К середине головоломки будут повторятся по кругу. И головоломки постоянно повторяются. Вы будете себя все чаще и чаще ловить на мысли, что устали от игры. А концовка это вообще что-то с чем-то. Можно сказать лучше бы и не видел.… Expand

    This game is not so awesome like people say. It is full of bugs, glitches and the story is boring. The auto aim is broke, the devs admitted to that and still have not fixed it.

Главным героям везёт, противники и глав гад тупые, франции и католичеству похуй на эксперименты с крысами и что целый город вымерли. Крысы будто не животные а пришельцы или зомби. А потом вообще пизда, ведь оказывается пацан может управлять крысами и после этого мне стало похуй на всех в игре,плюс игра очень скриптованая и линейная.

    This is a MUST PLAY game if you have a PS5.
    The last boss is an amazing fight. A plague tale can be repetitive sometimes, but it's original history is very creative and immersive.

    The story is okay (7/10)
    Gameplay and characters are great. (9/10)
    Graphics are amazing! (10/10)

    The RPG elements aren't that good, but still acceptable.

    Overall 8/10.

    Voice acting and animations are awful. Reminds me of kingdom come deliverance. Or the loud speaking in front of guards without them noticing. And characters all look dead inside.

    The worst game I've ever played. I have never seen a game that has technical issues worst than this one. I can't recommend it, and I don't want to. Don't play it if you don't want to lose your time playing something unplayable.

    After reading the reviews, I was excited to try out this game. It started off quite well, with beautiful graphics and an interesting story unfolding. However, I was shocked at the amount of bugs in it: characters start to speak at the same time, or only 3 minutes after you saw the NPCs - you might already be miles away from them.

It started off quite well, with beautiful graphics and an interesting story unfolding. However, I was shocked at the amount of bugs in it: characters start to speak at the same time, or only 3 minutes after you saw the NPCs - you might already be miles away from them. I tried opening the door, but the character got stuck and had to wait for a couple of minutes before anything happened. What is completely unacceptable however, is the 'black holes' - I've fallen into one where there was supposed to be a water fountain, and couldn't get out. I've then climbed over a fence and was supposed to land on a ground, but instead fell into a massive black hole again where I couldn't get out of. Had to delete this immediately.

    I just haven't seen so many bugs in a game in ages. Shame really, as it was a promising game.    … Expand

Pontos Positivos: Historia convincente, Personagens memoraveis, dialogos entre os personagens principais cativantes, Protagonista com uma personalidade impar. Voce irá facilmente gostar de Amicia. Diferente da maioria dos jogos Main. Pontos negativos: A maneira como vc tem que lidar com o combate por vezes é travado, a movimentação de objetos é muito ruim, fica parecendo que vc está em um jogo 2D. Eu concordo com a detecção de morte imediata porem não faz sentido vc ser identificado por um personagem que esta a mais de 50mts e ele te alcançar em apenas 2 segundos. poderiam ser feito de outra forma já que vc literalmente não pode "lutar" com soldados da Inquisição. Este é o objetivo principal do game ... se esconder e fujir a maior parte do tempo, Existe um exagero em certos ambientes, sim, estamos diante de uma praga e diante de uma guerra mas as vezes existem tantos corpos que é impossivel aquelas pessoas morarem no mesmo "condado" ou sei lá o nome .... Existem um ambiente em que existe tanto boi morto que chega a ser engraçado pela quantidade, ninguem naquele tempo detinha tanto gado e nem existiam pastagens para tanto boi. Os ratos são um caso a parte, ele funcionam como uma brincadeira de criança chamada "o chão é lava" vc remove eles aqui e ali, desvia lá e por fim vc controla a lava kkkkkk. .
    Resumido: Se vc gosta de uma boa historia com personagem principal cativante e com personalidade, gosta de jogo em 3a pessoa com enfase massiva em se esconder, esse jogo é pra voce. Esqueça tipos e alarmes, modo detetive dentro outras coisas a lá MGS. É um jogo diferente e muito bom, peca as vezes por coisa besta como salvar em lugar errado ou não permitir que vc volte a algum ambiente. as vezes o combate pode parecer frustante mas é só pegar o jeito "bugado" de atirar pedras kkkkk. de resto é um bom jogo e vale a pena joga-lo.    … 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.
