    The beautiful game has become even better. Thank you to Asobo Studio for an atmospheric adventure. I was happy to try it again two years later and was glad to plunge into the story of Amicia and Hugo again. Applause, I'm really looking forward to the second part!

    Amazing game with a phenomenal setting and great story. Sometimes i didn’t know what to do but i figured it out after some time. The haptic feedback of the ps5 controller fit very good and made the game much more immersive.

    A fantastic game. An emotional story-driven adventure, which gives you much fun if you like these kind of games. The graphics was a big surprise for me, because it is an indie game.

    I don't know how I missed this game so I am glad Ps Plus offered it for free. The story is unique and haunting, set in a time period few other stories are. The puzzles are innovative, although not very challenging and the game is easy to master. The dual sense haptic feedback is used wisely for this on PS5 giving the game an extra layer of value.

    An amazing fairy tale, an amazing atmosphere.
    The revealed characters you sympathize with, the choices you have to make are terrible. All this is accompanied by beautiful compositions.
    On ps5 looks nice, must have!

    Amazing story and characters. The options to defend yourself are more extensive than the first game. However, you still need to use stealth and be smart with your moves. This adds a good tension to the game and I don't feel overpowered. Me and my girlfriend play this game together, she does the chill parts and me the action :)

    I loved how this game turned my kids into spectator, first they were minding their own businesses but listening and turning their heads to the tv, then minutes later they're on the couch full-on focus watching and commenting on the game I am playing. These kinds of moments is so special to me.

    And the game itself is a real well done, the subject matter is was a little bit interesting but I never thought I would be so keen with the gameplay mechanics, until I learned I can't put down the controller because it was actually fun to solve every encounters. The setting and the story is top notch, many likeable characters, the dialogues and voice acting of the characters is well put (that my kids likes to listen and watch), the sound direction is great from lull to intense moments. One of the best looking games as well, a nice balance of ambient themes, it can be colorful and color less depending on the scenes which sets up the right mood.

    There are not so many flaws, if there was one thing I can say bad about is that the counter-move or dodge while there's an attacking enemy suddenly becomes absent when in one of the first encounter it was possible, as though it was introduced so that you know you can dodge like that in any encounters, but apparently that wasn't the case.

    But the game is so good, I have more than enough reason to get and play the sequel.    … Expand

    A Plague Tale прошел за 27 часов. Игра линейная, и если обшаривать каждый уголок, можно пройти за одно прохождение. Но мне пришлось перепроходить 9 главу для ачивки The hard way / Напролом.

И повторно пробегать 14 главу для ачивки Captain Sidekick / Прихвостень мессира. Там зашел в коридор, смотрю Николай стоит, думал его обойду, а там чек поинт и никак уже не забежать раньше него, и всё, уровень заново)

    Понравилось как отражена атмосфера средневековья, кругом трупы, крысы, вонище, говнище... Медицина околонулевая, люди не моются, маски не носят, нет антисептиков, вакцин. Не удивительно, что в те времена столько передохло.

    Графика приятная, играл в 4K HDR. От мерзких крысиных гнезд аж пробирало, погружение такое, что реально ни к чему там не хочется прикасаться. Музыка хорошо ложится на повествование, подчеркивает и нагнетает тревожность и безысходность. А местами взрывается такими мощными органными партиями, что до мурашек!

    Практически с каждым уровнем игра подкидывает какую-либо механику, элемент прохождения. Интересно играть и следить за сюжетом. Просадок нет, проходится все по-стелсу, устраняя хитрыми способами противников и решая не сложные головоломки. Иногда надо побегать и выполнять все действия по-быстрому.

    Это одна из интереснейших и простых платин на PS5.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence

    Great story, no padding or grinding, and a nice showcase of what games can do. Much if the game feels like the in-between segments of a Naughty Game. You take in the atmosphere and watch the characters interact with each other and the world. Don’t let this lull you into a false sense of security. You have sneak, plan, and fight to win. The good: this    A Plague Tale: Innocence

    Great story, no padding or grinding, and a nice showcase of what games can do. Much if the game feels like the in-between segments of a Naughty Game. You take in the atmosphere and watch the characters interact with each other and the world. Don’t let this lull you into a false sense of security. You have sneak, plan, and fight to win.

    The good: this experience is consistently great. My play through was a little over 10 hours. It was all quality. No fetch missions. No backtracking. Every segment had set pieces and unique dialogue. Enemies are differentiated and companions are unique. This is the kind of full experience that is lacking from generic AAA games. All hail the AA experience.

    The bad: I hate to say anything bad about this game, but gameplay could be smoother. You have to select different ammunition for different enemies and the time it takes to do this may kill you. The player character can sprint but not dodge. For sneaking, this is fine. When the game throws a small assault force against you, be glad the PS5 loads quickly.

    Graphics and sound are mixed. You won’t see much of the power of the PS5 compared to the PS4, but you will see a sea of rats in surprising numbers. Lighting looks good. Some areas seem to glow by themselves, but this may be a design choice to aid the player. 3D sound seemed absent. The PS5 has the capability only if the developers use it.

    Full disclosure: I picked this up for “free” with PS+. This is the kind of experience I love from PS+. This is the kind of game that might not show up on my radar or that I might overlook in favor of a 50 hour plus AAA open world game. This game showed me something new, and the older I get and the longer my list of completed games, the more I appreciate games with new things to show me.    … Expand

    Este juego ha sido todo un descubrimiento. Historia interesante, desarrollo impecable, gráficos impresionantes, apartado artístico y ambientación sobresalientes. El salto a PS5 le ha sentado de maravilla y encima a 60 frames. Sabe mantener la tensión de principio a fin sin aburrir al jugador. Me alegro que cada vez mas directores se animen a dejsr de lado los mundos abiertos.

    Mais quel bon jeu. Et dire qu'ils ont fait un jeu comme ça avec un budget limité. Très impressionnant. Quasi tout est bon, game play, histoire, chara design, rejouabilité etc... Et dire que ce sont des français qui ont fait ce jeu est vraiment sympa et montre qu'on a de grand talent dans notre pays.

    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.

    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.

    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.
