A Plague Tale: Innocence is an unforgettable journey through a grim yet mesmerizing medieval world. The story of Amicia and Hugo is packed with emotional depth, stunning visuals, and intense stealth gameplay that keeps players engaged from start to finish. The bond between the siblings feels raw and genuine, making every moment impactful.
The game's environment masterfully blends beauty and horror, with breathtaking landscapes overshadowed by the terrifying plague-infested hordes. The mechanics, especially the use of light and alchemy, add a unique twist to stealth-based gameplay.
What a fine, sweet game it is! A Masterclass in Sibling Bonding (And Rat-Based Trauma) - it hit harder than a medieval arrow (which I successfully evaded in the game cuz of archers were ass) to the feels. You can absolutely tell this was a passion project for the creators (though their passion apparently involved drowning the world in nightmare fuel rats - thanks, I still hate them. xD
The way this game makes you care about its characters while simultaneously making you dread every dark corridor (because let's be honest, those squeaky little plague carriers are the real final boss) is nothing short of masterful. It's equal parts beautiful and terrifying - like finding a rose growing in a pile of... well, rat corpses. 10/10, would protect Hugo again even though he could be a lil annoying, he's still family and I always welcome a cute little ratcatcher (he definitely reminded me of the ratcatcher from DC Comics).🐀⚔️💔
The game was beautiful throughout and I'm glad that they providede a photo-mode for photographers like me. I took some good shots with its help. Even though I couldn't find all the flowers & curiosities, it was a fun adventure. It's a linear story based game which is guided and straightforward. If you can get past some boring mechanics then I definitely recommed this game to you. Some of the puzzles in the game were, although easy to deal with, were certainly boring. I hope they fixed this one nitpick in the sequel which I can't wait to play.
the game has a great story, the rats are a little exagerated, but it doesn't make the game bad, it's got a good level of enterteinment and challenge. I recommend it
I've played both games and am replaying this one on GOG. The game looks amazing, especially with HDR. The game is action packed and fun from start to finish.
