When I think of a perfect AA game, Plague Tale comes to mind. It takes a concept (what if we made the Black Plague supernatural?) and incorporates it from top to bottom. Stealth gameplay is serviceable, but this game really shines when the rat swarms become the puzzles you have to navigate. Playing on PS5, the haptic feedback of thousands of rats running around was disgusting in the best way.

100% Completion Notes: A decent trophy list that had me playing this game a bit longer than I wanted to. Some missables required me to replay entire chapters of the story that dragged on. Highly recommend using a guide.
