Honestly, I hate kids so it's a testament to the quality of this game that I played it and liked it and I only truly hated one or two of the characters in it.
I like this game
Anche questo gioco è stata una sorpresa, avendoci giocato senza aspettarmi quasi nulla.
I had a great time with the first "A Plague Tale" game !
Granted, it feels rough around the edges in a bunch of ways. Some tinier (overlapping voices in dialogues, some unbalanced gameplay mechanics) and some bigger (the game drags in the last half, the presentation and voice acting can be spotty).
But overall, the relationship of the main siblings works quite well ! It doesn't aim to be as deep and nuanced as a "Last of Us" and that's fine. It succeeds in what it's trying to do, and I cared way more than I thought I would about the cast.
The game is mostly puzzles rather than action sequences which I quite enjoyed, no matter how simple they were. They always had me thinking at least a little, and there's surprises until the very end which I didn't expect.
Although it's not the best game ever, it was a welcome little adventure that had some great, if clumsy ideas. Can't wait to see where the second one goes !

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a beautiful and heartbreaking journey. The setting of plague-ravaged France is brutal and atmospheric, the stealth gameplay hits those tense notes perfectly, and the relationship between Amicia and her little brother Hugo is the heart of the whole thing. Some of the puzzles feel a bit easy, and there are times when the enemy AI is frustrating, but the story alone makes this worth playing.
A Plague Tale: Innocence has a pretty compelling narrative which holds as its pivotal point throughout most of the game, its a pretty beginner-friendly game due to the fact that you feel like its more of an interactive movie. That being said, I gotta give kudos to the team for the creativity of the rats system, it single handledly became the best thing to come out of the game and seems like that was the team's intention.
Overrall its a pretty good game but runs out of time pretty soon and thats a bummer, I also felt like the ending was pretty abrupt but other than that I had a good time while playing this.
