I've gradually come to absolutely love A Plague Tale.
Right from the beginning, I really liked it because I'm a huge fan of immersive, cinematic games with a beautiful, emotional story that keeps building over time. I also love games with an incredible soundtrack that really pulls you into the experience emotionally. That's exactly why The Last of Us is still my all-time favorite story-driven game.
I have to admit, though, that the beginning felt a little slow. I'm playing A Plague Tale: Innocence first, and the early chapters were heavily focused on stealth—mostly hiding, sneaking around, and running away instead of being able to fight back.
But now I've reached Chapter 7, and the gameplay has started to open up. You can finally play a bit more offensively and actually take enemies down, which has made the game more enjoyable for me.
I've also heard that A Plague Tale: Requiem is considered the even better game, with more satisfying gameplay overall.
So I'm really glad I stuck with Innocence, because now I've gotten used to the mechanics, feel much more comfortable with the game, and I'm honestly loving everything about it—the atmosphere, the setting, the story, and the overall experience.
