A Plague Tale: Innocence

I had a good time. The greastest thing about the game is the story, the characters and the world. Really one of the most immersive game i've played this far. The sister-brother relationship is well done and makes you care about them. The voice acting is perfect (in french at least, but i've heard the same about the english one). Now come the tricky part : the gameplay. It's fun and pretty simple but not quite as good as i hoped for the stealth side. You are in a classic stealth game, were the IA is, i must say, dumb, where you can hide yourself in tall bushes etc.. On the other hand you have the rats, the big ennemy : they can't go into the light, therefore a part of the gameplay is about light and the paths you can create with torches, fire etc.... Through the game you will learn new skills, but they come handy in one or two situations and never use them again after. They are some really good ideas but you feels that they were knew to this and that it could have been much better. In conclusion the gameplay is weak but do his job, and the story and the atmosphere that the dev built is incredible and make you live a good story with well written characters. I can't wait for the next game, where i hope they improved the gameplay.

Beautifully animated, great story, and fun game play. Yes the guards aren't too smart, making stealth fairly straightforward, but that did not bother me. Graphics are stunning and reminiscent of a aaa game, though most folks may want to set 'chromatic aberration' to 'low' (it is a bit too much by default). Having finished the game, I curiously felt tempted to immediately play it again ;-) Linux folks: it works perfectly on wine with dxvk.

A sister is willing to do anything to save his little brother. As simple as a premise can be, this game delivers it with a punch. This is not an action packed game, but a good stealth/story-driven game where the horror is pretty well told. -1 star: I would have preferred a more interactable environment.

A Plague Tale is one of those games that just hit all the right spots for me. It's beautiful with rich characters and a gripping story and it pulls you into it almost immediately. I finished it in a couple of days because I couldn't put it down.

The atmosphere and music are really great. The gameplay is overall ok, but consist mainly of sneaking and of avoiding rats, later on a bit fighting. The story is nothing special, but the characters are well-made. With about 12 hours of playing time and no real replay-value it feels a bit short for the price.
