“A hauntingly beautiful story, in the midst of the most grotesque and sad world. This has good story, simple mechanics, good puzzles and a reason to hate and at the same time love [spoiler] rats [/spoiler] Game is worth…”
“A very dark but also amusing tale”
“Great game and definitely worth a play. Some general stuttering and frame rate drops on the Steam Deck, however, but nothing too serious. It also drains the battery quite fast but other than that the game is brilliant.…”

“I just finished A Plague Tale: Innocence with about 10.8 hours of playtime, unlocking 31 out of 35 trophies. I’m not going for 100% since what’s left is mostly collectibles, and that doesn’t really interest me. Overall,…”

“Great, touching story. Escort quest done right. Graphics are amazing, so is the sound design. A great start for this franchise.”
“Don't know why I'm just now leaving a review when I first played the game many years ago. The game is gorgeous, its soundtrack is masterful, and its story is beautiful. If you enjoyed The Last of Us, I guarantee you…”

“irritating ass game worst controls ive ever seen hints are useless combat system might be the dumbest thing i’ve seen in any game i’ve never been this pissed off playing something before miracle if i dont drop this…”
“I played this partly for the story, but stayed for the atmosphere. The stealth-based exploration is wonderful. As a Bordeaux native, I was blown away by the level of detail and the inspiration taken from my city. Seeing…”
“I have to agree with the negative reviews on this one. Completed for the sake of it. Visuals, particularly environments look pretty. Character faces and models are often not great. Story is very meh. Controls are clunky…”

“The game looks beautiful and runs incredibly well, especially on Steam Deck. Even on low settings it was close to 60 FPS with no obvious drawbacks, which was really impressive. Stealth can be a bit frustrating at times,…”

“Being a big fan of RPGs with a historical background, I gave this a try and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very challenging, addictive and nice change from slashing, hacking and otherwise kicking the crap out of someone. This…”
“Excellent game. I played these games backwards, and back to back, Requiem first (I didn't realise there was a first game in the series). Thoroughly enjoyed them equally. Requiem took 18.7 hours, Innocence 16.8 hours.…”
“Great little game. Fairly short but a satisfying experience, TLOU-like mechanics with a lot of stealth, and the graphics still hold up very well today. A few bugs, but not insurmountable. Closing and reopening the game…”

“I didn't know what to expect when I started playing but it was definitely not this. The atmosphere was dark and frankly amazing and the bond between Amicia and Hugo was touching. The gameplay was a little repetitive and…”
“Great game, only 'issue' I could find is animations being a little rough sometimes, but everything else is amazing imo, easily 8.5/10”

“Basically The Last Of Us but medieval and with rats instead of mushrooms. Fortunately I really like both The Last of Us and medievalism so it worked for me”
