Game looks like an a game from indie-developer. With small bugs, a little confused gameplay tricks.
But it gives us interesting evolution of a story, like a tales from my childhood. Many violence and cruelty.. So it is middle ages.
Completed in a few evenings. Recommended.
A Plague Tale Innocence is an unbelievably engaging story about a supernatural twist of the Black Death plague that swept across Europe during the 14th century. The game gives its own fictional take on how the bubonic plague devastated France. I won't spoil anything, so I'll just say some very creative and interesting liberties are taken by the developers in order to deliver a very original story about a little boy and his older sister.
The visuals are nothing short of breathtaking. These graphics have aged very well and will put modern hardware to work. The developers, however, are based in France. As such, voice-over animations are synced to the French language (i think) and may be only mildly jarring to players listening to English voices like me. The quality of those English voice-overs, however, are incredible. I'm glad they got good voice talent to record this story in English!
Now while the gameplay mostly consists of easy puzzles and acceptable stealth gameplay, A Plague Tale Innocence certainly doesn't excel in this department. It definitely won't bore you to tears, but sneaking by and distracting enemies isn't fast paced and super imaginative with magic like in a Dishonored game. Nor will you use a bunch of different contraptions to sneak by enemies like in Alien Isolation. However, if anything, the stealth and puzzles in Plague Tale serve as fun distractions between cutscenes and amazing snippets of its story.
All in all, A Plague Tale Innocence is an easy recommendation for anybody looking for an incredible story and amazing graphics. And if anything, Innocence is still a fun stepping-stone towards playing its sequel, Requiem (which is a damn masterpiece in my opinion).
Plague tale is a great game about siblings enduring the impossible in a harsh time, the characters are developed and interesting. The story is intriguing, i always wanted to know what will happen next. Great visuals, the land is belivable and fun to explore.
If we past the fact that the gameplay for a game of this magnitude is small. The producers of the game in my opinion thet've managed not only to create a bullet-proof experience but to recreate the historical period of the Hundred Years War. Just get it. It's worth every penny.
