I think it's important to understand what you're walking into with A Plague Tale. It's not a stealth game - it has stealth mechanics, sure, but the path through the game is totally linear and most rooms have only one solution, which may or may not involve stealth. You might think to call it a puzzle game - figure out which of the tools you have to use to make it to the next area - but if characters don't immediately call out the solution while giving you a prompt to zoom your camera in on it, most times they'll do so after ~20 seconds. The puzzles are also *often* extremely simple, like "here's a single interactable in a room with one entrance, one exit, and one guard" simple. You might also be tempted to call it a resource management game. There's a nominal crafting system and different ammo types and technically you can shoot and miss; but while crafting ingredients for inventory upgrades are quite scarce, ammo crafting ones are extremely plentiful and the game makes sure you're never in a situation where you lack the resources to progress (which is necessary, because again the whole game is linear with typically one right solution, so punishing players for poor resource management would softlock them). I am thus forced to conclude that this isn't really a "game" in any of those senses - it's almost more of a visual novel, where the point is not so much skill expression or engaging with mechanics as it is seeing the next scene in the story. And that's ok! It just means that A Plague Tale leans heavily on the story to carry the experience. So how's that? . . .I mean it's not great. The villains are comically villainous, and probably over half the guards have throwaway ambient dialogue about how they have no remorse and are evil, to morally absolve you of killing them. The protagonists fare a little better, being all kids (so lapses in judgement are wholly excusable), but outside of the main brother and sister (very quickly) learning to trust each other there aren't any big character arcs that I recall offhand after beating it. We don't study the philosophy of characters or really critique how their worldview helps or hinders them, nor is there much to dig into with the broader plot. The moment to moment writing is not particularly strong, mainly in that it takes very noticeable shortcuts whenever is convenient. Hugo is a clueless, frightened little boy when he needs to be, and then 5 seconds later in the next room will be an observant, precocious, happy-go-lucky child so he can say something topical and cute. A character you meet a third of the way through the game calls alchemical powder worthless, then straight up teaches you an alchemical formula in the very next level. If you focus only on the immediate it's all fine, but it starts to fall apart if you try to tie the package together. Overall the game looks very pretty and there are some cool environments and locales. You can't look too close nor think too deep here, either, or you'll start to notice doors with no handles, or equipment racks in centuries-old castles that are the exact same model as all the others, or uncanny valley spaces that make no sense. There's an overall lack of verisimilitude that makes the whole setting feel a little shallow, a thin veneer over the parchment of the game's story, which I think would bug me less if the writing really impressed me. I'm fond of historical fiction and if the game had leaned really hard into the life and times of French peasantry or the mechanics of medieval villages or castles or churches or what have you, that would add a lot of enjoyment to the game. As it stands it's all just set dressing meant to evoke a certain time period and setting, not truly live in it. Still, hard to complain about the lighting and overall visual style, it punches pretty high and looks suitably cinematic. The voice acting deserves some special mention. SIDE did the English version and knocked it out of the park, as they often do. Amicia and Hugo in particular had really great performances that elevated their characters, but the rest of the lineup was generally solid too. All in all I'm pretty mixed. There's nothing really *bad* about A Plague Tale. It plays fine and is inoffensive and has a lot of polish, it's just not particularly inspired as a game or a story or an art piece. I certainly don't regret my time with it, but I don't think I'll ever go back to it and it's certainly not worth full price (in a cosmic sense, relative to other things you could get for the same money). If you're interested, though, it's probably worth picking up on a discount.

This game is criminally underrated. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel in terms of gameplay mechanics, but it more than makes up for it with superb art direction that will stand the test of time for years to come. The visuals, complemented by the music and its charming characters, create an eerie, anxiety-inducing atmosphere that pulls you in completely. The narrative builds in intensity right up to the very end. Highly recommended and I’ll be diving straight into the sequel immediately.

One of the best story-driven and exciting games The game starts very beautifully and has the best ending The graphics of the game are amazing and the stages of the game are very entertaining. You just want to repeat the stages and not finish them. It is really worth the price you pay and it is really worth buying the DLC to support the developer.
