Life seems normal for those living in the kingdom, despite having to deal with political unrest and all the difficulties that come from simply trying to stay alive. These difficulties, however, are nothing compared to the terrible calamity that is set to strike the kingdom, a plague brought by some vicious creatures, a plague that destroys everything it touches, whether it is nature, animals or humans. When entire armies fall to this, how could a 15 years old girl and her sickly brother survive after losing their home, their family and everything that mattered to them? A Plague Tale: Innocence is the story of how the will to live is stronger than any danger, and how bonds forged out of necessity can make the difference between life and death.A Plague Tale: Innocence stars Amicia de Rune and her younger brother Hugo. One fateful day when out hunting with her father Robert, Amicia discovers something sinister that devours life. Hastily returning to the family\u2019s estate, Amicia is soon forced to deal with yet an extremely complicated situation that will change her life forever. The Inquisition is after Hugo de Rune, Amicia\u2019s younger and sickly brother with whom she never truly bonded. Upon the Inquisition\u2019s arrival, Amicia\u2019s mother tasks her with protecting Hugo at all costs, escape the estate and seek Laurentius, who seemingly knows what is afflicting Hugo. Things, however, become more complicated very quickly, as Amicia and Hugo will not only have to deal with the Inquisition seeking them out but also the plague itself, which is starting to ravage the land and spread fear among not only the French population but also the invading English army.A Plague Tale: Innocence looked and sounded great on paper, but it\u2019s probably even better than most expected. With an emotional and gripping story enhanced by the charming characters, mature storytelling and themes, a great atmosphere and solid gameplay mechanics, A Plague Tale: Innocence is, without a doubt, one of the best games released this year so far. This game was EXTREMELY fun to play and I personally fell in love with the game. I'm not the biggest gamer when it comes to singleplayers but oof, this game owned.Pros: \u2022 No performance issues (Used a 980 for this and had 65-80+ fps and never lagged once on maxed settings.)\u2022 Nice graphics\u2022 Controller support\u2022 Movement, looting and changing ammo is straight forward\u2022 Sneaking around is hella fun\u2022 The atmosphere of the Plague, Rats & Murderous men give a real feeling of "don't f*ck up or you're dead"\u2022 The action can be really intense at times. GLHFCons:\u2022 Wish the game was a lot longer. Finished the game in around 13-14 hours \u2022 Game would be more worth the price tag of \u00a325-30.. 40 is a bit much for what you get.NOTE: No side quests or other stuff, this is NOT some Skyrim, Quest, Quest, Quest, Side Quest, OOOO A cave! type of deal.. This is purely a main story game.I'm going to leave it there but in all honesty the game is really worth the play! Good luck to you!. Beat all my expectations, and I expected quite a lot given the reviews. The story is incredible, leaving you feeling very attached to its cast of characters. The price is a touch much for the amount of time it takes to beat the game, though in fairness I'm not a completionist. I enjoyed the story and didnt stray looking for achievments. An honest 9\/10 story with 8\/10 gameplay which is simple yet effective.Couldnt recommend it more <3. ---{Graphics}---\u2611 You forget what reality is\u2610 Beautiful\u2610 Good\u2610 Decent\u2610 Bad\u2610 Don\u2018t look too long at it\u2610 Paint.exe---{Gameplay}--- \u2611 Very good\u2610 Good\u2610 It\u2018s just gameplay\u2610 Mehh\u2610 Starring at walls is better\u2610 Just don\u2018t---{Audio}---\u2611 Very good\u2610 Good\u2610 Not too bad\u2610 Bad\u2610 Earrape---{Audience}---\u2610 Kids\u2611 Teens\u2611 Adults---{Difficulity}---\u2611 Easy\u2610 Significant brain usage\u2610 Easy to learn \/ Hard to master\u2610 Difficult\u2610 Dark Souls---{Grind}---\u2610 Nothing to grind\u2611 Only if u care about achievements \u2610 Isnt necessary to progress\u2610 Average grind level\u2610 Too much grind\u2610 You\u2018ll need a second live for grinding---{Story}---\u2610 Story?\u2610 Text or Audio floating around\u2610 Average\u2610 Good\u2610 Lovely\u2611 It\u2018ll replace your life ---{Game Time}---\u2610 Long enough for a cup of coffee\u2611 Short\u2610 Average\u2610 Long\u2610 To infinity and beyond---{Price}---\u2610 It\u2019s free!\u2611 Worth the price\u2610 If u have some spare money left\u2610 Not recommended\u2610 You could also just burn your money ---{Bugs}---\u2611 Never heard of\u2610 Minor bugs\u2610 Can get annoying\u2610 ARK: Survival Evolved\u2610 The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs\u26a0\ufe0f IN MY OPINION \u26a0\ufe0f. WOAH!! Pleasantly surprised and pleasantly blown away by this game--it's dope! I just tweaked the .ini file a bit to remove some of the cheesy post-process effects like dirt and lens distortion etc. and to make it run at a true 3440 x 1440 for ultrawide full screen. But other than that I'm loving it right out the gate. Runs smooth at a stable 100fps on ultra even with some Reshade. No bugs, crashes yet. I'm excited to see what they patch or add in the future. I highly recommend it for any fans of Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn or Kingdom Come Deliverance. True hidden gem of 2019 for sure!. I do not review games often, however, this game was an exception. While some may find this kind of gameplay boring, it reminds me of the last of us, and taking care of Ellie. It has unique premise, and I think it is worth the 45 dollars. I believe there should be more DLC in the future as I am loving the story, and I am glad I bought it. There are a few bugs that need to be worked out, but overall this game is a beauty.. Before I opine on the nitty-gritty of this game, I think an important fact worth mentioning upfront is that this game was developed by around 45 people based in the city of Bordeaux, located at the southwestern region of France known for its wine. Hopefully it would be known for Asobo Studios soon too. On to the review! I told myself I wanted to buy this game the first time I saw its gameplay, which was during E3 2018. Fast forward almost a year later, bought it and came away astoundingly impressed. Three points below justifying it.1) Story was captivating, exploring the interactions being the two siblings Amicia & Hugo as they escape from the protagonists with little to no weapon is rewarding. (Amicia is a teenager and Hugo is just a kid.) It elicits that on the edge of your seat feeling, cause you just don't know what's gonna happen next. So you're playing and playing itching to find out. Even though I've so far finished Chapter 1, I'm already sold. 2) Gameplay was mainly stealth based, so more of using brains than muscles, cause you mainly use a slingshot while making the most of your environment to distract your enemies to prevent detection. Puzzles weren't overly difficult, so you won't need to crack your head figuring it out, a balanced mix I would say.3) This is where it really hits the spot for me, environment + sound. This game pulls you right in the moment you start playing. Oil painting inspired graphics and soundtrack composed specifically for this game takes the immersion to the next level where few developers are able to match. The developers truly done their homework and did their best to simulate medieval France in its dark ages, evident by its grim and hopeless ambience (and hoards of rats) plagued by deadly diseases. You'll just empathize the characters and feel bad for them while wishing for things to turn for the better, even if it's just a modicum of hope. To sum it up, this game is essentially a virtual time machine for me to explore France in its past with all the beauties and riches offered, a truly second to none experience.These aspects already made it a very good game for me, almost perfect actually. But the developers went beyond that because they nailed a few things that other developers, even AAA ones failed, and these are all PC-specific. 1) This game barely has any bugs or technical issues on PC, it's completely playable since day 1!! I know this shouldn't even be a praise cause it's a given that it should be shipped in a workable condition. But it's fair to say that many games nowadays have encountered FPS rate drops, weird glitches and bugs that ruin the experience or just downright crashing making it completely unplayable. So thank you developers for porting PC the right way!2) The controls feel extremely smooth and fluid, controllers are not required at all. I've come to appreciate this because I wanna enjoy PC games the native way, with the duo combination of keyboard and mouse instead of anything else. It's good that Steam supports controllers, but I'd much prefer the traditional PC way. 3) No microtransactions that wanna milk maximum money out of you. So you get what you pay, a really well built game that leaves you wanting for more. Well priced at $45, but I just wish there would be DLCs, would definitely preorder for that. (Fingers crossed!)All in all, this is $45 well spent, especially when all you wanna do is turn on your PC and enjoy a great time. This game is enthralling, exciting and gripping. Serves as a lodestar for other PC games to follow if you wanna have 93% of positive comments (it's 93% as of writing this comment). Asobo Studio, if ever you're reading this comment, thank you so much for what you're doing and pls continue doing it. All 45 of you are thriving and I can't wait to see what you all will have in store next. Be it a new game or upcoming DLCs, I'm down for it. Anyone that's browsing the comments contemplating whether to purchase, it's a resounding yes from me. Gonna be $45 you glad you spent..
