    The new coat of paint that has been generously lavished across A Plague Tale: Innocence enables an already beautiful offering to stand shoulder to shoulder with some of the best games that the PS5 can offer. Hauntingly alluring and utterly arresting in a way that very few games can lay claim to in the last few years, A Plague Tale: Innocence finds its definitive form on PS5 and in doing so ably preps an all-new audience for next year's much anticipated and likely endlessly terrifying sequel.

    The next-generation upgrade of A Plague Tale: Innocence succeeds in making an already amazing game even better. Fluid 60fps, massively improved load times and clever use of haptic feedback all come together to create an unforgettable experience. If you’ve not played this yet - do it. You won’t regret it.

    A touching story told through the darkest hours of European history, supported by great art and music. Now with 4K UHD resolution and 60 FPS also on console.

    Gameplay is unchanged, retaining the linear nature that guides you through a crafted campaign full of surprises and standout sequences. The English army of 1348 and rodent infantry burrowing underground create environmental puzzles with inventive solutions while combat is almost always a life or death situation. Miss your shot and doom is likely right around the corner. But so too is one of the most underrated experiences of the past few years. A Plague Tale: Innocence has always been a great game. PS5 makes it that little bit better.

    With improved graphics and fantastic use of the DualSense, the PS5 is the best place to play A Plague Tale. This is a unique, interesting story which is well worth your time. I just with that playing it was more interesting. Long sections of the game are only saved by strong atmosphere and your connection to these characters. Linear gameplay and controls that don’t hold up well in intense moments lead to frequent frustration and a game which feels like it goes on longer than it needs to. If you know what you’re getting into, however, there’s still enough good in A Plague Tale: Innocence to be worth your time.

The game has a good ambient in regard to graphics. Initially, the gameplay resembles the last of us but then it differs. Although some websites mention the game as a horror game, it is not. However, if you have a serious fear of rats and if you think you will get nervous if you see rats in the game then you shouldn't play the game. The musics and story was also good. I liked the main characters: Amicia and Hugo. These two are siblings. Hugo is a very sweet child who needs care. Amicia is a good sister who takes care of her brother. I also must mention that I am really glad this game is not a sjw propaganda. She is not like a super hero who is very strong and capable of saving everyone. She is only able to use sling in regard to fighting and that's it, which is pretty realistic. Anyway, to sum up I am glad I played this game.… Expand

    This game suprised me a bit forsure. The story is incredible with well-written and likable characters throughout. The journey the game takes on with the relationships it explores is a sad, but beautiful one. The gameplay despite being a bit basic was suprisingly engaging despite only hvaing slings, rocks, and a few fire tools you unlock later and you mainly have to get through levels stealthily and being very resourceful with what you have. The game also oooks beeautiful and runs well. The rats also gave a very eery, but not scary vibe throughout thr game.

    The saving system and checkpoint system kind of sucks though and the lack of skippable cutscenes gets tedious.    … Expand
