Mehr, bitte!

Man merkt dem Spiel an, dass Asobo genau wussten, wo ihre Stärken liegen und sich voll darauf konzentriert haben. Heraus gekommen sind eine packende, sehr gut erzählte Geschichte, interessante Puzzle - und riesige Rattenschwärme, die sich wie Wasser über die Level ergießen. Historisch und atmosphärisch passende Musik und Umgebungsgeräusche runden alles zu einem Spiel ab, das völlig verdient Preise in verschiedensten Kategorien abgesahnt hat.

A Tale Plagued by Gameplay

Like its visuals, A Plague Tale: Innocence is lush and generous. It tells the tale of two siblings, Amicia and Hugo, caught amidst plague-stricken France and an Inquisition that seeks to destroy everything they love. Its story is its highlight and, when it picks up, it becomes hard to put down. That said, A Plague Tale's biggest fault is just how bad its gameplay is. It is a stealth/puzzle game which, at its best, feels like a sort of medieval Tomb Raider. More often, though, its gameplay is monotonous and benign. Much of it involves sneaking, avoiding rats and solving puzzles. The game's AI is atrociously exploitable and the stealth is very barebones. It often feels like it doesn't build upon its mechanics and instead feels flat. Puzzles rarely increase in challenge and are often just more of the same. Or sometimes they are so specific that the game explains their solutions before giving you a chance at solving them. It all makes for an underwhelming experience. But A Plague Tale makes up for its gameplay with its story and looks. The story is like a pulpy Victor Hugo novel, full of alchemy and intrigue, rats and religion. All of it is conveyed gorgeously through some stellar art design and wonderful graphics. Every chapter is memorable, full of striking scenes and vistas; every cutscene full of tasteful narrative and drama. Now, occassionally, there is an awkward staccato at times to how the story is told; its pacing is sometimes off with story beats happening a bit too abruptly. But the production values are so high that it smooths it over. In the end A Plague Tale is simply engrossing. And this is why it is worth playing. Not once did I truly enjoyed interacting with its systems. Yet the story is well done and the gameplay is not so offensive that I found myself looking forward to seeing it through. And in the end I was satisfied. A Plague Tale doesn't overstay its welcome and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Despite its shortcomings, it really is a great game.

A Linear, Grim Yet Excellent Adventure

Whilst the game can be considered a tad short, it's one that looks good, runs well and at times tears into your soul. The mechanics are fairly basic and the steady introduction of new ones can be tiresome, but it serves to keep the gameplay interesting and provides you with quite the tool kit on approach to the finale. The game is linear though, and every so often rather clunky, so your frequently left with only one approach to most seemingly open situations. The story is a grim one throughout with the occasional glimpse of a more pleasant world. You have to push the characters to extremes that many adults, including myself, would find emotionally unsurmountable. A couple times I was forced to take a break because of how disgusted I was of my own actions, occasionally being dropped into scenery that churns the stomach doesn't help. This game is very good, but because of it's length and linearity I'd suggest only getting it on sale.

... And then there was the ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. It was emotional, smart and well written. For a casual gamer, I was very pleased with it. I don't get very much time to play anymore (two hours in one sitting if I'm lucky) and was glad that this game was moving along nicely and wasn't going to be a huge time sink. It was challenging enough to keep me going but not enough to interrupt the story. I thought the story was very well done and the gameplay worked well for the most part. And then there was the ending. Honestly, I was never able to beat the final boss. It was just rediculous. A huge jump from the rest of the gameplay without any ramp up. It was like all the care the programmers wrote into the story was just thrown out the window and suddenly the game threw in a raid boss for you to solo. Fortunately I found a savegame on the internet just after the boss battle so I was able to see the epilogue. But that should never have been the case.

Not even half as good as expected

I was so looking forward to playing this game... but alas, plagued by some very stupid gameplay decisions and some truly awefull characters, this game can hardly be called good. There are some positives, like the absolutely gorgeous design of Amicia and it's PERFECT voice-over! Also the chemistry between her and her brother is really well done, even leading to some scenes with actual emotions. The graphics are ok, the sounds are quite good and the music is one other highlight! But man, there was never a worse story and "bad guy". Really terribly made, with cliches abound and even sacrificing and straying from gameplay elements just to "further the cause" (the genious teenage alchemist, the young blacksmith that single-handedly takes out ARMED guards or lifts a whole gate!, the useless mother (or other grown ups for that matter) which on the other hand is THE best alchemist ever....) So: no recommendation from me. I've seen part 2 is being made, so one can only hope they do a better job next time.
