    Asobo Studios needs to be applauded for creating something so stunning and fantastic in every way. It’s not easy to make you care about characters in a short dozen or so hours, and the fact that A Plague Tale will be etched into my memory is no small feat. I don’t like to loosely throw around the term “Masterpiece”, but this is absolutely one of my favorite games that I enjoyed whole heartedly in recent memory. Needless to say, this is one plague you won’t want to avoid.

    A Plague Tale: Innocence is grim, dark, and constantly provocative, and yet, it effortlessly manages to remain emotionally radiant throughout. This isn’t just another survival game, it’s a tale that consistently and articulately interlaces beauty with brutality to excellent effect. Whilst the gameplay could have benefited from a bit more depth, the overall journey is mechanically well balanced, and to its credit, unlike anything else. This, is a must have.

    A particular strength of the game is that it alternates between perilous action and periods of reflection where the characters process the changes they’ve observed in the world and in themselves.

    A compelling plot, grounded characters who aren't instant heroes, crafting and upgrades without arbitrary levelling and some beautiful environments to solve your way around.

    The story never lets you settle – it never guarantees the safety of Amicia or Hugo – and, even as some of the mechanics grow a little stale, that keeps A Plague Tale feeling breathless across its 12-hour runtime. [Issue#178, p.88]

    A Plague Tale Innocence is an intense and beautiful tale of Amicia and Hugo De Rune, about bonding and surviving. The solid story of the game combined with the nice level design and gameplay, make for a solid adventure.

    Given how believable this plague-ravaged world is, it’s unfortunate that A Plague Tale’s story falls short of its technical accomplishments.

Good story, good soundtrack and very varied gameplay, when I saw the demonstration videos I thought it would just be stealth and run away from mice with torches and if the game was just that for me it would be interesting but it is much better than I imagined undoubtedly one of the best games of 2019.… Expand

Great story, soundtracks, voice acting, boss fights, scenery! I loved playing through it, one of the most enjoyable games I have ever played. I cannot wait for the sequel. It really does make you feel involved and connected to the characters, the sneak or aggressive options when dealing with guards really does make it feel like there are consequences, you really do feel under powered to the guards and you feel like you have to be so careful, it immerses you so much! even to the point where your character can be heard breathing in a scared manner. I love story based games, and in my opinion this beats life is strange and walking dead.… Expand

    Very good voice acting and characters which make up for relatively simplistic and weak gameplay and story. Difficulty level needs a good hikeVery good voice acting and characters which make up for relatively simplistic and weak gameplay and story. Difficulty level needs a good hike to be truly rewarding as resources are over-abundant and checkpoints very frequent. Very little replay value but I do think the characters will stay in my memory for a long time.… Expand
