    Quick background on me the reviewer, I tend to like single player games that is heavy on narrative the most. I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rare for me to get into a multiplayer game.

I also play a lot of racing games and use to play multiplayer games in my high school days but now that it's hard for me and my friends to find a good time to link up so now it’s rare for me to get into a multiplayer game. Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of coursed influenced by my personal opinions.

    (9) Superb. Just shy of gaming nirvana, this score is a high recommendation because the game reviewed is head-and-shoulders above its competition.

    This game was in my backlog for a while, didn’t think the rat infested world what be interesting. I was mistaken the story is great. Each chapter felt evenly paced and the world matched the story. There was a lot more gameplay than I was expecting since people called it a glorified walking simulator. I thought they did a good job with coming up with different gaming mechanics that made sense with the characters and world. Lot of games just throw multiple gameplay mechanics into the world so people wouldn’t get bored but they don’t fit into the world. They could work on opening up the levels a bit more. Most of the game there is only one path to take. The cast/voiceovers where great. The story developed nicely and kept you wanting to continue. I look forward to the next game. Oh, and the graphics are amazing which surprised me since it was an indie game.    … Expand

    Jeu tout simplement magnifique graphiquement, effets de lumière et ambiance au top.
    Histoire intéressante et personnages vraiment attachants.
    Le jeu est plutôt de type couloir mais l'exploration est quand même récompensée par des objets à trouver ou des trophées à obtenir.
    Gameplay relativement simple mais qui évolue malgré tout.

    Simply put one of the best indie titles ever made and a strong contender even in the mainstream gaming space.

A Plague Tale: Innocence combines dark and unsettling environments with gameplay that will keep you constantly on your toes as you never know what danger is lurking in the shadows or around the next corner. You play as Amicia, who is suddenly thrust into danger with her brother Hugo as a Plague sweeps across Europe. There are several characters you meet along the way with my favorite being Lucas. He is an extremely intelligent prodigy in the alchemical arts. He joins Amicia and Hugo on their journey and even teaches Amicia how to use alchemy to avoid and even vanquish her foes. The combat is both amazing and the only misstep in an otherwise flawless game. When you are sneaking around in stealth or attacking from stealth the combat is fantastic. However, when you are spotted and you have to engage in hand to hand combat the devs didn't really give you anyway to defend yourself from pursuers who are faster than you are. So you will inevitably get caught and be instantly killed. There is an alchemical weapon you can use to escape an enemy that catches you but it is very expensive in the resources it requires to make so I usually chose to restart the checkpoint rather than waste precious resources. Puzzles are an integral part of the A Plague Tale: Innocence experience and all of them are really well designed and a joy to figure out. There are a number of boss fights in the game with the final boss being simply amazing and a fight I find myself coming back to again and again to give him a good whack in the head with a rock. I highly recommend this game if you enjoy story driven linear experiences.… Expand

    História fantástica, com personagens muito envolventes.
    Gráficos fabulosos que ficam ainda melhores na PS5
    Jogabilidade muito boa, com períodos de muita ação e outras de exploração. Também considero muito bom a possibilidade de fazer melhorias aos diferentes equipamentos.
    Recomendo vivamente.

    Jogo muito bem feito, é nítido que não é um AAA, porém todos os recursos foram muito bem alocados para uma experiência muito divertida, com uma boa progressão e história envolvente, como defeitos apenas as animações faciais e algumas sequências obrigatórias de combates pro final do game.

    Ce jeu est top ! L’histoire est vraiment prenante, le gameplay est certes des fois un peu rigide mais on sent vraiment la pression de devoir se cacher pour éviter les ennemis. Les personnages sont vraiment excellents !

    Love the atmosphere, love the story and the gameplay. This is a game I am pretty sure I will remember for some time.
    Cudos for the writers for making the kids realistic but also not annoying, I very much enjoyed all of the story and characters.

    Nota geral 8.9 (Arredondado para 9 pelo Lucas - melhor personagem)
    Graficos bonitos, historia legal, dublagem muito boa - a tematica francesa da era medieval eh muito bonita e os elementos de jogabilidade fazem com que ela seja talvez ate supere a jogabilidade de the last of us part 1. Apesar de a personagem principal nao ter tao simpatica, o menino Hugo acaba nos ganhando (no comeco ele eh bastante irritante). Ficou faltando parte da historia (porque ha claros problemas na relacao da Amicia com sua mae) talvez isso seja explicado na continuacao.
    No geral fiquei satisfeito com o jogo. Thumbs up para o Lucas - o melhor personagem, espero que ele descanse depois de ter carregado todo mundo nas costas. Recomendo    … Expand

    Juego absolutamente increíble. La ambientación muy buena, la música espectacular, y la relación entre ambos personajes es profunda, cuidada, y emocionante. Es una experiencia preciosa. El juego tiene un gran rendimiento y gráficamente es top.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Como juego de ps4, deja mucho que desear gráficamente. Aunque no está mal del todo (parece de ps3), carece de algunos detalles que podrían estar mejor resueltos como las expresiones, las texturas del barro etc etc, pero és un "doble A".
    Las expresiones son muy frías, lo que llamamos " Ojo de tiburón", y se parecen mucho algunos de los personajes (faciales) parecen todos familia. El apartado jugable, és un poco tosco el manejo, con los personajes, y hay momentos que no estás solo, la IA de los compañeros deja mucho que desear, y ya no hablamos de los enemigos, no tienen Inteligencia. La banda sonora, pienso que és de lo mejor del juego, acompaña muy bién todo lo que rodea este mundo, los sonidos en general están bastante bién logrados. En fin! Con las ratas se les a ido la mano, és muy lineal, la historia buuueno! Otra más. Es un n juego muy simple, todo está muy marcado y no tienes libertad.    … 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.
