If The Last of Us and Hellblade had a baby, it would be A Plague Tale: Innocence. A story about family bonds intertwining with religion, ethical controversies and a good dose of surrealism. Stunning graphics, intriguing characters, and a decent plot to tie it all together, with some good twists along the road by the way. The gameplay loop is quite satisfying too, a formula similar to Portal, because i see Plague Tale as a stealth puzzle game.

His biggest flaw is the second half. Everything we've already seen is presented again with a new coat, quite too similar i would say. It's not good enough, it's not that engaging. Perhaps it's a bit longer than it should be, it gets a bit tiresome. But it's also an affordable game. It's a small-scale game that behaves like a Triple-A. Asobo Studios didn't try to reinvent the wheel or subvert clichés, they simply did the basics well executed. A very solid experience! I really thought they were going to drop the ball at the end, but that's not what happens, gladly.
