A Plague Tale: Innocence. It's fucking beautiful.

I really like it. It is the only game where I have used the photo mode every 15 minutes. Such a beautiful game with so much personality.
The game is beautiful to look at, I liked the characters and the story and the setting. It's generally an enjoyable game to play, but there's no getting around how repetitive and shallow the actual gameplay is.
I've also never played a game that's as patronisingly hand-holdy as this. You're practically told or shown what to do upon every new scene, and that never stops right up until the end.

Bought it because of the praise in this thread and while there certainly are things to enjoy I cannot get past how restrictive the gameplay is. Everything is designed in a highly linear and scripted fashion, to the point where it feels like a never ending tutorial level. It might be because I've just come off a couple of sandbox games, like Subnautica and DQ Builders 2, but this game just really feels like it plays itself almost. I am only on chapter 6 though so there's still a lot of hours of potential development. I'm hoping it takes a turn for the better.
I didn't like it because it looks like an adventure game where gameplay is secondary. Beautiful environments and good interactions between characters, but they aren't important things to me.
It was a big letdown after playing Sunset Overdrive and Recore.
The case is, I'm enjoying Alan Wake right now and it has similarities with this game (Darkness, Light), but maybe it was the lack of tension, barebones stealth mechanics or the slow gameplay that I couldn't appreciate Plague.

On my heels through the entire game. Super exciting and the eery soundtrack was fantastic.
Story was serviceable, but not a super fan of the voice acting though..

I wasn't to begin with, but it settled down a bit in my mind as time went on. I think Hugo's voice was a bit to babyish
Yeah I couldnt get past that sadly... but as it was so exciting anyway I could see past the voice acting.. almost at least :P
that's amazing i'll be day oneThey are working on another game which has been teased too.

I'll be paying attention. Asobo looks like a rising star in the industry.
My cats loved it with all the rats.
I really enjoyed it too, was pleasantly surprised with how good it was. It looks beautiful and the stealth was actually pretty fun.

Fun fact: many characters in the game have two voice actors, in some cases both a male and female actor. They did this so that both the english and french narration would be perfect.
An amazing game, the last stretch of story soured me a bit on it, but I would still recommend it.
I'm loving it so far, currently on Chapter 8, I think? Liking it a lot more than I expected. Focus Home never fails.

EDIT: And, as always, Deriviere KILLING IT. Easily one of the best composers in the industry.

Honestly I absolutely love the game and I loved the execution of the story other than the fact that none of the characters were really all that fleshed out. Still, I had a total blast playing the game and I absolutely loved the gameplay throughout and especially enjoyed getting new abilities. Really excited for the sequel honestly
Sounds like niche PS2 AA games. Well at least until you the last of wanting it to be over.
I am now much more interested?
Hell yeah it is.
They really handled "the hero killing for the first time" well. It's treated as horrific. Also, the tool Amicia uses (her sling) is like a childhood toy she prides herself in.. suddenly turns vile. I love the cutscene where she looks at it after the violence. Shout out to the soundtrack.
Also, who knew slings were a thing? Turns out whipping a rock at someone's head would be bad haha.

It's a very enjoyable experience. I do wish the supernatural type stuff was more grounded in reality though. You can still have the church fucking around with it as a desperation play which imo would make it even more grotesque but where it goes i wasn't the biggest fan of.
What remains of Edith finch is also a must play for those playing these on game-pass.
It is but it makes sense because he's been kept inside away from the world most his life.

Played a little bit today and the game seems to have a weird issue with gsync where one moment it's 60 fps and then another moment the game caps itself down to 30fps. But if i reload that same checkpoint it goes back up to 60 fps again. Really weird, but otherwise it looks fantastic.
