Reader reviews for A Plague Tale: Innocence

Played on ps5 and finished the story in 12 hours.

This is a very beautiful game with great graphics and music. The production value is very high. Acting is excellent and it has a great atmosphere. Its not exactly the traditional adventure as there are many stealth sections and some actions sequences towards the end of the game. Also there arent any real puzzles, just controlling the environment with distractions to go through. There is a crafting system and you gather materials and upgrade tools, which keeps the gameplay kinda interesting.

My only minor complain is that the aiming control is not that good and many times you end missing your shot which leads to instadying. Also the story is quite lengthy and getting through the stealth and action sections can get a little repetitive.

In general i enjoyed my time with the game, especially the story and the acting, and i look forward to play the sequel.

I played this on a whim with low expectations, but was blown away. The visuals are some of the best I’ve ever seen in a game, with such an immersive atmosphere. The story and characters are very engaging and the game itself is a joy to play, with various upgrades along the way, keeping gameplay fresh and providing new strategies for dealing with enemies and puzzles.

The game benefitted from being quite grounded and believable for the most part, but let itself down by getting over the top and ridiculous by the end. But that is my only criticism of this beautiful adventure.
