A Plague Tale: Innocence wasn't even on my radar and I'm ashamed because I would have missed out on this great game and now that I've told you, don't make the same mistake I almost made.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a dark, mature game that tells a great story with top-tier characterization and well-realized gameplay mechanics.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is undoubtedly one of the best games of this year and perhaps one of the best story-driven games.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is not trying to be big, it does not try to pack its story into the parameters of a 100-hour game, but for that it managed to almost perfectly capture the meaning of the story adventure and add something to the top. A Plague Tale: Innocence could not leave us anything than a beautiful 9/10 with a story worth telling. It's a guaranteed adventure, which can surprise you with the fact that getting on one direct gameplay path is definitely not harmful when it is made with an emotion.

A Plague Tale is a rare gem, with it’s great realization of the historical context of the 14th Century and a nearly perfect technical aspect the game almost nails it in every way. The only real flaw is the gameplay, which feels boring and trivial.

A Plague Tale Innocence does well to explore a plague ridden story and include entertaining game mechanics which makes it unique. Some improvements to certain visuals and mechanics could have made the experience a little smoother, but overall the environments are detailed. The story really shines through such a grim setting along with some memorable ratnado moments. A playthrough could take you 10 hours or more depending on your gameplay strategies and whether you choose to discover all collectibles.
I thoroughly enjoyed A Plague Tale: Innocence from start to finish and cannot fault this title at all. While the gameplay is fluid that is accompanied by excellent graphics and audio, where A Plague Tale – Innocence shines is with its characters and the way it tells their story. So if you're upset at how Game of Thrones ended and need a story that is told correctly, A Plague Tale – Innocence does that flawlessly.
No doubt about it, Asobo Studio have created a sure-fire contender for Game of the Year and I couldn’t be happier for them. This is a great game that deserves to be played. That is, unless you’ve got a phobia of rats, then it’s probably best to stay well away…
A Plague Tale: Innocence features excellent narrative and atmosphere, but the gameplay is a little bit dull.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a curious proposal developed with great care in all its sections, starting with a brutal graphic section that leaves many games in diapers. Through a captivating story, we will use different mechanics to overcome the levels. Perhaps it weighs a little exploration and a not very polished enemy AI, but do not get to tarnish a great final result

Despite the confinement in bog-standard AAA conventions and set-piece tropes on occasion, the same can not be said for the execution of its story and of its characters, which — barring the next six months — may go down as one of the best and most surprisingly unique examples you're likely to find this year.
Asobo newest game is a story about survival, family and religion. A Plague Tale is a beautiful game in the visual department with an easy to follow story, but still harsh sometimes due to its setting. This is one of the greatest and unexpected surprises of the year.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to find games similar to A Plague Tale: Innocence in terms of storytelling. Games in which the main focus is on the relationship between characters throughout the course of the narrative. Featuring a distinctive character design, an emotional narrative, and a mysterious world filled with elegance and filth, A Plague Tale: Innocence has made a name for itself in the video game industry.

Visually beautiful and emotionally affecting thanks to strong characters, A Plague Tale suffers from missing gameplay variety and tonal inconsistencies.
A particular strength of the game is that it alternates between perilous action and periods of reflection where the characters process the changes they’ve observed in the world and in themselves.
Throughout A Plague Tale, Amicia has to face reality and do horrible things; she is constantly faced with the question of how much is she willing to lose to keep Hugo safe. Just how far will they go to survive? It’s a beautiful, poetic game filled with human monsters who are willing to commit unspeakable atrocities. But, at its core, it's about the bond formed between two siblings.
A perfect journey story. Deep characters, great graphics, impressive musics... A Plague Tale: Innocence one of the surprises of this year

A lot of people are probably going to sleep on, or not even know about, A Plague Tale: Innocence—and that's a shame. It's a gripping, touching, emotional, yet at times horrifying experience, one that feels quite unlike almost any other game out there.
