It’s intense, searing with tension and absolutely nerve-shredding, whilst telling a hugely powerful story that hit me hard a few times over. There’s a tremendous depth in this game that I wasn’t expecting, but I’m so glad it’s there. It makes you care for this brother and sister duo who are doing everything they can to stay alive in impossible circumstances, and given everything you’ve had to put them through to reach some kind of other side, you want to see them succeed. Every free moment I had was given to this game, I had to know how it all ended. Amicia and Hugo deserved my time.
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 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.

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.
In an endless sea of looter shooters, multiplayer battle royales and microtransaction-riddled titles, Plague: Tale Innocence is a breath of fresh air. With a simple, 10 hour narrative and a well paced story, Plague Tale backs up its compelling plot line with some cleverly evolving gameplay, with each of its deliciously dark chapters an absolute delight to play through. Created by a passionate team of 40 or so people, Plague: Tale Innocence is a reminder of what this medium can produce with a bit of creativity and passion, leaving this reviewer saddened when the journey ended. Despite the visuals not quite matching traditional blockbuster game standards, the atmosphere and general aesthetic of the game more than makes up for this, making Plague Tale: Innocence one of the best games of the year.
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 a curious proposal developed with great care in all its sections, starting with a brutal graphic section that leaves many games in diapers.

Perhaps it weighs a little exploration and a not very polished enemy AI, but do not get to tarnish a great final result

A Plague Tale: Innocence doesn't push the envelope as far as gameplay is concerned, but the incredibly compelling art direction and great writing should be experienced by any fans of single-player, narrative-driven experiences who don't mind incredibly dark subject matter.

A Plague Tale feels like the sort of game that gets passed over unwittingly, so here’s me suggesting to you, readers, make sure that doesn’t happen.
