Teodor Nechita: "Rarely do I ever get to play a game where a question the decisions I made the way I did with A Plague Tale: Innocence, since you’ll think to yourself “there must have been a better way…” quite often. Visually it looks amazing, and the soundtrack will keep you on edge every step of the way, alternating between intense moments of horror and small glimmers of hope. The game is not meant to be played as a game, as that wouldn’t bring the story any justice, instead it is made to be a wholesome experience where you try and grow alongside the two protagonists, while gaining a much better understanding of life and death. 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."
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.
For the month of September 2022, we have the complete list of games that will be removed from the Xbox Game Pass by September 15.
Playing The Artful Escape at the moment. Has to be the most inappropriately titled game I've ever played.
Flynn: Son of Crimson has been a very enjoyable game. I'm nearing the end after playing off and on for a week - definitely enough time for someone to beat it before it's off.
Level design and combat are great, and I love the music and art style, even if overall game design is a bit tropey (enemy variety = different color sprites, battle encounters feel like they're there to be there, the "Scourge" levels with the floating hammer chasing you are super cheesy).
Why do they remove titles? I’m less likely to jump into a huge game like FFXIII if I know it is only available for a limited time - and never knowing when that time might end.
Uh-oh. Looks like I better download A Plague Tale: Innocence and give it a playthrough soon.
