A Plague Tale: Innocence Reviews
Please, play this game.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is an exceptional experience from start to finish. With an excellent story and well written characters, I would definitely recommend A Plague Tale: Innocence to anyone who loves story-driven games with great stealth mechanics and actually good escort mission gameplay.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a wonderful new IP from an up-and-coming studio like Asobo. The game takes a rarely adapted period from our history and builds it into a wholly unique experience, with a character-driven adventure that will have you wanting to see how it all ends. I really can’t recommend the game enough if you are looking for something fresh and new.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a poignant tale about the resilience of the human spirit, the bond between a brother and sister, and how people are united in the face of tragedy. It is shockingly grim but also incredibly moving, and worth a playthrough for the story alone. If narrative-heavy games are your thing, you should definitely check this one out. If you’re hoping for a challenging and fast-paced action game, however, you may be disappointed.
It kept me from enjoying the game that much sooner. Chalk it up to impatience but if you have another way to try this game, you should. It's worth the time; I'm just not sure if it's worth the Switch edition.
Aside from the basic gameplay and a few rough edges, A Plague Tale: Innocence tells an incredibly gripping story about a couple of kids in the most grim circumstances imaginable. It nails the horrifying setting with standout visuals and a thick atmosphere that is worth experiencing at least once. If you're looking for the next great story to play through, A Plague Tale is definitely it.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is undoubtedly one of the best games of this year and perhaps one of the best story-focused titles. The game puts us well in the dark times of the middle ages and the pandemic of plague, and gives us the fate of a child and a teenager who are looking for survival. Despite the simplicity of riddles and gameplay, it is the fear of killing Amicia and Hugo and the narrative style of the game that makes it memorable

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.
From its early moments, the game will grab your attention with its immersive story and great characters, if you are looking for a unique single player experience A Plague Tale: Innocence will give you that but with some compromises in the gameplay part.

If you are looking for a whole new experience from what you already had in this generation, look no more, A Plague Tale: Innocence is what you want. A Plague Tale is not open world, does not offer multiplayer experience, and there is no big budget behind it. Instead it offers a linear stealth puzzle gameplay with a deep story and solid narrative, and that's exactly what we need every once in while. To seat behind our gaming device, disconnect from the whole world and just enjoy a great video game like the good old times.

A Plague Tale offers a compelling narrative that revolves around the emotional bond shared between a brother and sister. The excellence in storytelling overcomes its shortcoming in gameplay where stealth takes the main focus.
French studio Asobo has prepared a surprisingly good production that will steal the heart of all players longing for engaging single player production

A Plague Tale: Innocence is the last two month's wild card. It's extremely enjoyable and the story can soak you in. Armies of plague-carrying rats, creative puzzles and a dark and heavy story keeps you engaged, but there are some issues with enemies' AI. Overall, A Plague Tale: Innocence never disappointes you and I recommend it to every gamers. After all, it has one of the best brother-sister relationship in gaming history.

The gripping mature storytelling, atmosphere, beautiful and horrifying environments, and the bond between Amicia and Hugo make A Plague Tale one of the best games of 2019 and simply should not be missed.
All in all, A Plague Tale: Innocence will leave you empty inside once you finish it, like any good book or movie would, and like any good game should.
Heartrending journey of two siblings with unique gameplay which require help of other characters in dangerous and brutal world full of rats.

A Plague Tale comes so achingly close to the brilliance of a Hellblade, but sadly where Ninja Theory's "blockbuster indie" project is a masterpiece, Armicia's story is "just" a page-turner.
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a pleasant surprise during a season that usually has few significant releases. The story starts off in a fascinating way, and despite a few bumps along the way, the game maintains a player's curiosity throughout its runtime. The mechanics are great, especially since the title doesn't have many of the expected drawbacks, and it's all reinforced by an excellent all-around presentation. For those who want a rich story and strong gameplay, A Plague Tale is definitely worth checking out.
