A Plague Tale: Innocence is one of those games with a predominantly teenage caste, but unlike most games with young adult leads, it's quite dark, set during turbulent times.
Amazon has announced the lineup of games to be added to Prime Gaming for October, 2024 and it features A Plague Tale: Innocence.
Amazon prime gaming is soo weird. I always try to remember to check it but it seems to update so randomly. Then of course only some games will appear if you’re in their own app yet on the website all the games will appear. Sometimes I’ve found they lists games that simply don’t appear on either.
Obviously appreciate what they’re doing but my god what a complete sht show of a service they operate.
Was really excited when I opened it up the other day to find doom eternal. Was never going to buy it at this point anymore. Then realised it was from Microsoft store 😡 after buying age of empires from their store a long time ago and finding out they install their rootkits that can’t be removed. I have Microsoft game folders on my own hdd that not only can I not access but I can’t even delete them! Vowed to never touch the store again.
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.
I personally think linear games have become a bit underrated. I mean, I love the sense of freedom that open worlds give, but I very much dislike the travel time that pads the game out and that much of that travel time isn't even through particularly exciting scenery. Even more points off if there's travel back and forth and there isn't a fast travel option. A well done open world game addresses most of the genre's shortcomings, but that's just it, the game has to be done well. I don't care what genre a game is, but I would much rather play a well crafted linear game than a poorly crafted open world one.
