A Plague Tale: Innocence Reviews
A Plague Tale is one of a kind and tells a compelling story about a fascinating historial period. Too bad it is too easy, simplistic and guided.

The 9th-gen upgrade treatment doesn't remove any of its tougher fleas, but A Plague Tale: Innocence remains one harrowing ride.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a good game, which unfortunately looses steam in its final chapters, preventing it from concluding as a great one. Although it has a very promising and pleasant first half, it ends up stretching itself unnecessarily, delivering samey gameplay sections without much inspiration through it's middle, and chapters where the story becomes much less interesting towards the end. These factors take away some of the brilliance of what is still an impressive work of world-building and narrative that Asobo Studio introduced in the early hours of this adventure.

A Plague Tale: Innocence definitely tried to bring something new to the table. Wartorn and plague ridden France offers a dense atmosphere and emotional fates of the main characters, but it's a bit of a shame that the title doesn't demand much of its players. However, it still remains a worthwhile experience.

Despite a troublesome companion that can sometimes bog this stealth title down, A Plague Tale: Innocence is still a very interesting, unique, and haunting tale. It's one that will likely get overlooked due to not being an AAA game but it's one that is worth giving the time of day when it's hitting the right notes.
The developers of A Plague Tale managed to create an emotional story seasoned with stealth elements – not very demanding, as the game is really easy. Nevertheless, the title remains a very compelling experience that I finished overnight – which might be the best review I can give. Also – it's insanely pretty.

A Plague Tale excels in its narrative and setting, but the moment-to-moment action is uninspired
A Plague Tale: Innocence is legitimately captivating in its atmospheric depiction of the plague-stricken and war-torn France of the Middle Ages. The mechanics rarely shine and the plot has a fair share of contrivances, but there are plenty of outstanding sequences that put this unique setting to excellent use.
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.
Her and Hugo's mother, <b>Beatrice</b>, spends most of her time with Hugo and has an understanding of alchemy as a result of his illness, which becomes important later.
Despite the excellent start, A Plague Tale: Innocence doesn't really blossom into a real masterpiece. The small bugs, some unintuitive commands and the fold taken by the narrative diminish some of the really positive features. The result, however, is still a good game.

If you're in the market for a consistently immersive tale with gameplay that's filled with genuine tension then A Plague Tale: Innocence is a must-play game.
A Plague Tale Innocence is an intense and beautiful tale of Amicia and Hugo De Rune, about bonding and surviving. The solid story of the game combined with the nice level design and gameplay, make for a solid adventure.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is imperfect. The repetitious and unoriginal nature of its gameplay does hold it back and might be a deal breaker for some. Even if it is technically sound. But I would still recommend it for its story and atmosphere alone.
A Plague Tale: Innocence offers a fantastic story backed by excellent voice actors and a decent stealth-adventure mechanics. Just don’t expect a major challenge.
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.

The depiction of childhood innocence takes off thanks to the dialogues and the performance which also show the gradual deterioration of this innocence.

Even with the shift in direction that A Plague Tale: Innocence takes almost two third down the line, it’s still a fantastic experience. Asobo Studio have done a marvelous job with the characters, the dialog, and the mesh of the three gameplay styles that they have knit together as they seamlessly go together and never feel out of place.
