A Plague Tale: Innocence

The first time I launched A Plague Tale: Innocence it engulfed me. I would compare the experience to a dark Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

The environment of medieval and Black Death-ravaged France, where the game takes place, is shown really well. From the beginning you can feel the gloomy atmosphere and from some scenery there is a chill running down your back.

Among other things, the game won me over with its characters, who will experience a lot. In terms of story, it's nothing revolutionary, but thanks to the characters, you're guaranteed to be interested in the story. I would see another positive in the soundtrack, which is not for normal listening, but always fits into the given situation.

Plague Tale suffers from the classic problem of stealth games - AI is sometimes really stupid (a guard doesn't see a person hidden in grass one meter away), but sometimes he sees through a wall.

The game is definitely not perfect, but it offers a gloomy historical-fantasy world, so if you are a fan of games with a dark atmosphere, I can only recommend it.

Positives: Characters, atmosphere, soundtrack, graphics

Negatives: Artificial intelligence.

Music is considered art. This game has inticing music. Graphics (paintings) are considered art. This game has great graphics. Books (story telling) is considered art. This game has well written story telling. This game is a piece of art.

The story starts off strongly and definitely brutally. I'm not exaggerating, they definitely did a good job at showing how brutal and disgusting the Black Death was. However even such horrible event cannot surpass how some people were more disgusting to each other and in some cases they use the tragedy for their own benefits. The game portrays that very well.

In that horrible world we find the sister and the little brother who have that innocent and adorable bond. As the story evolves I felt so attached to Amicia, it could be the cute accent, but I think it was also how the character evolves to the point where she would risk anything just for the safety of her brother and that basically is how Amicia grew so charismatic and heroic to me.

Masterpiece.

The game start off to an amazing start with the tutorial mixed up in the story (like any other game) but as the story advances it just gets mind-blowing and fantabulous. I feel sorry for myself that I did not enjoy the game earlier but now that it is here I am overjoyed.

The 1 star is for a plot in story which was not that good ( I won't spoil it for you) . But rest the game is just worth it.

A Plague Take: Innocence is AA budget game with great story, simple yet tough characters and great gameplay. I loved the general idea and concept. Gameplay mechanics were also great - there are puzzles in this game but they are not annoying and always felt real. Combat mechanics were also very inventive and superbly made. There is even a crafting and upgrade of tools system which i enjoyed.

Overall, Innocence is a great game in every aspect. It's basically a stealth game but done right. I'm not into stealth games but this one i highly enjoyed. Will check for a second instalment now. Highly recommended.
