A game that combines adventure, discovery and light action, A Plague Tale: Innocence, even produced by an indie studio, has proven to gamers that they are not inferior to anyone by one. Extremely attractive, attractive and bold medieval product of France.
Perhaps it is not necessary to enter the main game, the game's standby screen also speaks of its most frightening thing, a deadly disease disaster by the countless cursed rats. You can see them gathering in large numbers and hissing non-stop. They will even turn on the ground to emerge in order to hunt for the ill-fated prey. That obsession may last for hours in your mind after completing this whole game. Through the first few chapters of the game, you will probably know that the context of Innocence is the time of the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Right now, the plague broke out and caused a black death that caused terror to the country with the majority of the French population dying of disease and being eaten by rats.
However, those rats were just the foundation for the journey of the sisters, Amicia and Hugo de Rune. Both had a happy life under the roof of the De Rune family, with Amicia wishing to be knighted one day, while Hugo had a disease that his mother was trying to find. But the peace soon ended the army of the Inquisition and massacred the whole family to capture De Rune's descendant, little boy Hugo. Based on the strength, stoned talent and alchemy industry of the time, Amicia had joined Hugo to escape the circle of these heretics and began a journey to find a cure for his brother. But this 5-year-old Hugo is also quite a nuisance when he will scream when his sister is too far away, or cause headaches that Amicia is extremely worried about.
At first many people would argue that this was an elaborate but extremely tedious escort mission, but the manufacturer knew how to turn that element into a very small component of the gameplay through the way the game was played. . First of all, the innocence of both sisters in such a deprived and sinful situation is always bright, when we see Hugo enjoying the wild nature and Amicia while fighting while imagining himself talented female knight. And thanks to this, the player has a very impressive view of the beauty and resilience of both of them. Even at the most dangerous moments, the moment Hugo gave Amicia a flower made the player see the warmth and sweet sharing. However, sometimes Hugo could not control his feelings and cause Amicia to be dangerous, but with the love of his sister, they also escaped the miserable danger.
Because survival is the core element of the game, the Innocence is quite skillful in combining it with puzzles to help the two sisters overcome the fierce rats as well as escape the quest of the Heretic knights. The rats that have a weakness are afraid of light, so using fire or lightning in the dark night is the best way for you to cross the battlefield and the city is full of mice. Also, you can take advantage of that to shoot the Heretic knights' lights so that the rats can attack and pave the way for you.
However, it is the enemy of the two sisters who are the least convincing things in the game. Although armed with dangerous weapons, once they discovered them, the knights only swung their swords and slashed and most collapsed before the sisters. In addition, these knights were too easily distracted when they suddenly heard loud noises like when Amicia threw a porcelain jar near the enemy, or threw stones at any metal object such as a cast iron pot or full chest. armor. Just muttering a few words, these NPCs will eventually return to the same tasks, and Amicia can easily defeat them. For a game with storytelling that depends a lot on the atmosphere full of horror and terror, such illogical things make players lose true inspiration. Another minus point of the game lies in the ranks of the game's antagonists. They are too gentle and emotions only go in one direction and players can easily guess the twists in the psychology of these characters.
However, such NPCs also play a part in increasing the difficulty of the in-game puzzles. In fact, the later chapters, the difficulty of these puzzles is increasing and you must know how to combine Amicia's strength and experience and Hugo's petiteness to do it. Amicia, with a rock-throwing up and skillful alchemy, crafting flint or anesthetic, will take down any soldier even when they are fully equipped with armor. And Hugo, though quite passive, was small enough for Hugo to crawl through the narrow spaces to pave the way for Amicia and her friends to pass and continue their journey. In addition, on the way, a Lucas boy with an alchemy passed down from Mr. Laurenticus and the orphaned couple, Mellie and Arthur, will all try to help them with the different abilities of me And they will also have their own problems that need help from both sisters.
In short, A Plague Tale: Innocence can be considered a successful game in many ways. Although carrying the title "innocence", the game still profoundly describes the terrible events of the time, the loss and boredom of the survivors, and even the price. pay of the Hundred Years' War at that time. However, the innocence of the two sisters is the ray of hope in the darkest situation, and the motivation for both of them to reach the end of the journey.
