Kotaku writes: "It’s been so long since a game has truly scared me that A Plague Tale: Innocence caught me completely off guard. Tense, terrifying, and meticulously crafted, Plague Tale excels at making you feel utterly helpless. Set in late 1349 in Aquitaine, France, the medieval setting is one of the game’s strengths, distinguishing itself with the backdrop of a dark, and tragic, history."
A Plague Tale: Innocence's version of the real-life medieval pandemic is still one of the most intense and perhaps resonant ever seen in gaming.
Amazing game from top to bottom. The characters, story, rats, atmosphere, just so many things in this game they nailed.
Asobo Studio's A Plague Tale: Innocence is today's free game on the Epic Games Store, so you have 24 hours to grab it before it's replaced.
Asobo has said that they never considered making A Plague Tale sequel, and left the opening open-ended just in case. The studio also adds they spent a "considerable time" studying feedback from both players and critics for the follow-up, too.
One of the best games I played this year.
A contender for game of the year
I wouldn't have expected it to be a happy game given that it's based on one of the biggest tragedies in human history, but yeah, I agree.
That screenshot reminds me of the canceled game for Wii. Sadness
A very good narrative driven game, also, an easy platinum trophy :)
