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.. I'm always supportive of when a journeyman developer can come out with a breakthrough project that delivers an uncompromised single-player experience. Having finished A Plague Tale: Innocence, I hope that Asobo can join the likes of Ninja Theory with Hellblade in critical accolades and commercial success for their fantastic effort. While it obviously lacks the polished production values you might find in the Naughty Dog games it's trying to emulate, A Plague Tale makes up for with memorable characters, an involving story, and a lot of "heart," for lack of a better term. The stealth gameplay is mostly competent with the occasional frustrating instafail sequence, the controls aren't always entirely fluid, but really, what you're mostly playing for is the engaging narrative anchored by some great, emotive performances from the two leads. You can tell that this was a project for the studio unmotivated by how many units it would sell, but on crafting a unique single-player experience that people could enjoy. Everybody likes to complain about the current state of AAA gaming with its focus on live services and microtransactions to continually extract money from people, but fewer will actually support truly weird, creative projects like these. I hope people don't make the same mistake for A Plague Tale because it is worth their recognition.. 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.

Don't care much for writing reviews on a game. Most folks would make up their minds without this. On the slim chance you would take some unknown person's advice- get this game. A great story driven game with wonderful graphics and haunting soundtrack.. I'll reiterate what I've said in the discussion forum of this game and say, "it's linear...AND I LOVE IT!!!"In this day in age of gaming, it's all about the open world sandboxes and 100+ hours you can plug into a game. And while I do not hate sandbox games, and there's a lot of them that I DO like, there are also a bunch of them that have TOO MUCH to do in terms of fluffy sidequests leaving the main quests and story very very thin.What I love about A Plague Tale: Innocence is that it is really really focused. The story moves along at about the right pace it needs to all the while finding casual ways for you to practice the fundamental stealth and slinging mechanics as soon as you start the game. It wastes no time in showing you the ropes and getting the story started.Speaking of the story, it is incredibly well written and just comes to show how much potential video games have for compelling storytelling. You play as Amicia a 15 year old French princess who is orphaned when The Inquisition comes to her castle seeking to kidnap her little brother Hugo. Your objective is to protect your little brother, who you haven't seen for most of his life, from all the would be kidnappers--all the while trying to survive the plague of rats swarming all over France.I've had legit feels throughout this game and I think I'm only halfway through it, if not almost. The sibling relationship unfolds in a very natural way. You get moments where Hugo wants to be a normal kid, but he can't be because not only does he have a mysterious illness that has kept him locked up and isolated in his castle, but also because The Inquisition want to take him for a reason I've yet to discover.This leads to a lot of conflict between Amicia and Hugo where she needs to protect him at all costs, even if it means robbing him of any happiness and comfort because you're almost always on the run from danger. This takes its toll on him as he is just a little innocent boy thrust into all this violence and bloodshed, as well as for Amicia who has never taken in a life before. Now she's forced to choose whether or not she wants to be a murderer all for the sake of Hugo's and her own survival.Now I can go on forever about the story, but I'm sure you wanna hear about the gameplay. Well, let's just say that at least for me, it's enough gameplay to make me feel involved in the experience. It's a lot of diversion based stealth with OPTIONAL murder, and the interesting thing about the murdering is that you can hear a change in Amicia's voice over time the more you kill. It takes a toll on her conscience and that makes the experience feel grounded in reality. She's not your typical bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665and blood thirsty hero, she's a regular young girl forced to make tough decisions.Don't expect too much bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665stealth takedowns akin to Assassin's Creed or Batman games, but at least to me I still think it's pretty bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665to sling rocks at dude's heads as well as KO them with a sleeping elixir. The puzzles are also well done, they rival the puzzles found in Tomb Raider games, though not as elaborate, they can be equally satisfying to solve. Some of them require you commanding secondary characters to do different things and that's a neat way to use them as opposed to having them stand by the sidelines watching the main hero carry the team. This game makes you feel like you are actually as helpless as a 15 year old girl would be and would require some additional help while also having her own level of competence for survival to grow.Definitely recommend if you want a short and concise experience, and also definitely worth the price in my opinion. This isn't a game you play only once and forget about it. To me this is a story I would like to experience at least one or two more times later down the line like good movies and TV series I've rewatched over the years because there's a lot of details you might miss the first time. Full price or sale, this is definitely worth your money if you're looking for a gaming experience that has a definite ending and has the linearity of the good old games of yesteryear, mixed in with modern realistic graphics and compelling writing.
