A Plague Tale: Innocence

I ended up buying this game a year ago and did not touch it until recently. I really wish I played it a lot sooner though, the story was really engaging, mechanics felt fluid, and graphics are amazingly good! If you like single player experiences this one is for you! It is not open world and is a linear story but would recommend a bunch of times over.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a moving tale of two siblings and their fight for survival during the dark times of the merciless Black Death disease.
The story takes place in the medieval Kingdom of France. Swarms of rats are tearing through the country, destroying everything in their way. Before the outbreak, Amicia and Hugo barely spent any time together. One ordinary day, their world fell apart. Pursued by Inquisition soldiers, they must join forces with other survivors and avoid the rats at all costs using fire and light. Faced with many obstacles, they must learn to trust each other, but this fragile trust will be put to the test when they discover a dark secret and the true reason why the Inquisition is hunting them.
Moving on, the gameplay (combat, puzzle solving and collectibles) is fun and easy. As for the story, I really liked it. The creators did a fantastic job on the portrayal of medieval Europe period as well - the atmosphere is great.
Let me end by saying that A Plague Tale: Innocence is a truly beautiful game and a must-play for all adventure game lovers.

On the surface seems like a dull stealth game where you throw rocks to distract dumb guards and wait for them to patrol - it does have a lot of that. This isn't usually a genre that appeals to me but it managed to keep me engaged all the way through with story, environments, and characters that are all such high quality you won't mind the slow gameplay.
My only real gripe with the game is that the main villain (who doesn't have much screentime) is cartoonishly evil, a stark contrast to the rest of the game which is fairly gritty and realistic aside from some fantasy elements. The villains are more of a driving force in the story rather than the main focus, so this downside doesn't take away from the story imo.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is an underrated great linear stealth-based game. The gameplay could feel repetitive but the level design is brilliant and they don't feel like copy-paste even though you are repeating similar activities. The characters are lovely and the game makes you care for some of them.
Pros :
+ Unique concept. This is a stealth game with rats and set during the 100 years war.
+ Decent gameplay and puzzle. Sometimes you are doing repetitive things but because the level design is great they don't feel like copy-paste. For example, you'll repeat using a lantern to block the rats but you need to be creative on how you are going to block the rats to proceed. In addition, different chapters also give you different challenges.
+ Pretty good story. At first, it is a little bit slow but once you get to the interesting part it will hook you up.
+ Good characters with interesting dynamics. I love the dialogue and some banter between the characters. I like Amicia, Hugo, and their friends.
+ Great voice acting. IMO the VAs did a great job and not many people talk about it.
+ Great visual. This game is visually immersive and you'll feel the horror of living during a plague and being hunted.
+ Good soundtrack. The theme song always gives me chills.
+ Good aim assist. It's very snappy and accurate.
Cons :
- Sometimes you are forced to be stealthy. I don't mind this but some sections punish you for not. Your main character (Amicia) will die in one hit if she gets hit.
- The main antagonist is not bad but not unique or well-written enough like the other characters.
- If you are afraid of rats then you should NOT play this game.

HUGO! NO!

The game and graphics is amazing, started out pretty normal and fun but after 10-15 min damm they just threw u in the story and bum u are stunned!! the story was amazing, easy, a little challenging but fun. having all of these thoughts like "what the hell is going on" but the same time "im freaking ready for whatever happens, come at me"!!
10/10

Solid cinematic experience
Rating: 8.5/10
It's fantastic game. Graphics are truly stunning, they look very realistic. And it's medieval Europe, so you can imagine. Voice acting were lovely. Story was decent, and now I am curious whats gonna happen in Requiem.
Highly recommend if you like games like Hellblade, A Way Out, It Takes Two, etc.
