Professional reviews from gaming critics
Throughout A Plague Tale, Amicia has to face reality and do horrible things; she is constantly faced with the question of how much is she willing to lose to keep Hugo safe.

But, at its core, it's about the bond formed between two siblings.
Follow the grim tale of young Amicia and her little brother Hugo, in a heartrending journey through the darkest hours of history. Hunted by Inquisition

A Plague Tale: Innocence is more than justified in its focus on the narrative presented and of the journey its main protagonists Amicia and Hugo go through over the course of the game's events. While the core gameplay's puzzle-solving and stealth aren't wholly inventive from a structural ...

Two siblings face the devastation of 14th century France.
A Plague Tale: Innocence has some clunky writing in places, and its play gets stale after a time, but it prevails with a compelling mystery and a beautiful world.

After hearing how great A Plague Tale: Innocence was, I finally got the chance to sit down and push through this title over the Christmas break. While the title may initially seem a bit thin on gameplay, its stunning narrative and linear stealth systems all combine into creating a very enjoyable exp
