Played on Xbox. I feel best story I've seen in many years for this type of game. I rarely finish games, but I couldn't stop playing this one.
Epic Games gives out so many high quality AAA games I don't even have enough time to play them. Epic is the best!

A Plague Tale: Innocence (PC) will be free to keep via Epic Games next week - a great game from start to finish. Claim from 5th August (4pm) to 12th August (4pm).

The 2nd game on giveaway next week is called Speed Brawl (PC) - which looks like a very unique beat-'em-up title.



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 soldiers and surrounded by unstoppable swarms of rats, Amicia and Hugo will come to know and trust each other. As they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds, they will fight to find purpose in this brutal, unforgiving world.

Features
A dark third-person adventure set in plague-ridden France.
Elude the gigantic swarms of rats to keep yourself alive, but manipulating the horde may also provide assistance against the Inquisition.
Meet young orphans who will help you escape the Inquisition, cure Hugo's mysterious illness, and uncover the truth behind the Plague.
Darkness is both friend and foe, hiding you from the Inquisition, but exposing you to the rats. Decide how to best use it, and your trusty slingshot, to survive.
Breathtaking visuals combine with an enthralling score by industry veteran to bring a nightmarish vision of the middle ages.

Quote from Qbtova :
Semi spoiler and warning for animal lovers if you play A Plague Tale:

There is a gruesome scene in the beginning of the game involving an beloved animal (Hint: it has 4 legs and a tail, likes to play fetch). So you might want to skip this game if you don't want to see it. I still remember that cutscene vividly to this day 😭. But as much as that stuff bothers me, I still recommend playing the game because it's pretty good imo.
I do like said animals and I don't remember that scene being that gruesome/disturbing. YMMV. There's a lot more of that involving two-legged creatures, which presumably one might find equally disturbing, at minimum?

I'm at chapter 7, following Melie. It's been pretty good so far but does it get much better? I don't typically like games like Heavy Rain and Detroit, so was considering if I should continue or start Valhalla or something else.
There are some new abilities, but they roll out very slowly. I find that each usually maps one-to-one to a particular situation. It would have been more compelling if the player could apply more creativity in applying abilities.

I've been plowing through it for some time and am determined to complete it, but it's become a bit of a chore TBH.

I came into this game with a very low expectation, but such an immersive story with every element of a thriller book. Very worth the free

PlayStation plus had this for free on the ps5 last month. I'll admit it was pretty entertaining for a free game. It's all about sneaking and throwing rocks at ppl. I'm almost finished with the game. Yea it's worth playing, even for free.

People kept mentioning this in Senua conversations which I enjoyed so definitely going to check it out now
It's absolutely nothing like Senua. The only thing the games have in common is that they use 3rd person perspective.

Plague Tale is a fun game, not very challenging but has an immersive story, good cut scenes and voice acting is well done. I think I paid $30 when I played and thought it was worth it then.

If you mean "does it get more action or game play focused the answer is no". It stays mainly a story driven game with some light stealth and some light puzzles as the core of the game play. I think there's one or two semi-actiony sequences but I think you probably did them already.

The game's strength is definitely the story over the game play so if the story isn't good enough for you thus far, you might want to give up on it but on the other hand, it isn't too long of a game so you might also want to just power through it. I think it took me like 10 hours to beat?

IMO it's a good game, not great. There were some frustrating things about it where there's a few points where it felt like the writers got lazy with story telling and the final boss isn't difficult in reality but the first stage of the fight is this semi-confusing "what am I supposed to do?" If you want to avoid the confusion I had there's just 3 things to remember for the first stage:

1. Goal is to move forward, not attack the boss.
2. Black rats won't hurt you, white rats will.
3. Black rats don't like fire, white rats are NOT afraid of fire.
