A Plague Tale: Innocence is the best game I've played this year. Easily the best.
A stealth game with puzzle elements and a hearty dose of horror, A Plague Tale may turn heads with its killer rat swarms, but the real star is the great writing and character portrayals.
This is something special.

The issue I have is that marketing has taken precedence over creation. It's also weirdly anti-capitalist. Theoretically, products and services should succeed or fail on their merits, not through frankly exploitative marketing trickery. Look at the POG video Jim dropped recently. That's pure smoke-and-mirrors bullshit to sell literal garbage to children.

Only shows how overpaid those corporate dogs are, and how little positive(if any) effect they have on companies they are in charge of.

I haven't gotten that far in it yet due to work, but from what I have played it has fully absorbed me into its world and story... I need to play more, glad the weekend is now here. I've also been trying to get people to play it. It's truly a special game that we don't get many like it anymore. A neat little detail was they consulted with the voice actors for Amicia and Hugo, and allowed them to rewrite some of their dialogue to sound more like believable children.

I argue that It's really a way more complex game than most released this year Stealth games aren't simple or easy, doubly so when you can't just mow down the problem once you get within arm's reach of a guard. Too many stealth games now rely on being able to do 'sick takedowns' and solve entire rooms of problems instead of providing a clear, concise path for the player to go through or presenting the problems like a puzzle. (Looking at you, modern splinter cell). It may look simple if it's just distracting guards to walk around them and trying to fend off rats, but I contend that's still more complex presentation for a stealth section than kill guard -> use ability kill guard -> use ability.

@@bmylyzgtsqyfw I haven't finished this game yet but i find the stealth in this game about medium. It doesn't get too frustrating but like Jim said, they create the atmosphere so well that it never feels like you're just breezing through it either. I think the focus is more on the experience and the story, and rightfully so, they set this world up to be so bleak and disgusting, it wouldn't be appropriate to feel accomplished every time you get through a section because the characters are still in a dire situation, at least that's how i feel anyway. This is a feeling i haven't had since earlier game of thrones or Lord of The rings, when the gorgeous world is so drained of colour it really reinforces that sense of doom, like nothing good ever happens so it makes you want to find out how they get out of the situation. So yeah, in this case, i really don't mind stealth being more simplistic, they got it exactly right for the tone of the game.

All of the gameplay I've seen its basically a walking simulator with distract enemies and "stealth" which all together is an escort mission. With not too much gameplay. But I might give it a shot, it might not be as boring as the footage made it look like. Since the last boss fight is a total joke

I would sugest to hold your horses. I haven't played the game but judging by the streams and videos it seems pretty average. I love stealth games but what this game offers is pretty basic and the story is nothing to be amazed either so im glad Jim liked it so much but I would recommend more research.

It's a nice touch of showing that there are still so many elements from our own history that have barely even been tapped when it comes to creative storytelling. It touches the disgusting never so well as deep down, you can only imagine what it must have been like for European pesants in the times of plague like the Black Death.

Amazing! Just finished it. One of the best stories i have every experienced in a game. Gameplay wise it has a few balacing issues, overall it's mostly easy and fun and then suddenly it shifts to extremely hard trial & error moments, that stop the narrative flow in an unnecessary way. But this is just nitpicking. The overall experience is just damn incredible. Ratnado!

I love every one of your videos (thank god for someone with a smart, dissenting voice) but.... it makes me sad to hear you angry all the time because I know that anger eats away at the soul if it isn't tempered with enjoyment. The pure gratitude and heartfelt joy in this video is so poignant BECAUSE of the stuff you usually cover and your vehement feelings about all of it. I hope more games come out that make you feel like this. I love your positive videos when they are put side by side with the critical ones. Thanks, Jim

thanks for recommending this little gem, Jim. I just finished it right after finishing TLOU2 and I gotta say I enjoyed my time much more with this one. the pacing is just so much better here. and the story goes places, man. when I first saw the trailer and this Jimpression I had thought I'd seen everything this game had to offer, but it actually saves up some surprises... and it's just so consistently beautiful _and_ horrifying from start to finish with some incredible set pieces in pretty much every chapter.
