One of the best game experiences I've had in recent years.

This reminded me of The Prince of Persia (2003). There was a game that had fairly simple, straightforward combat and a story that I cared about. It was a game that gave me a sense of wonder and I believed it represented what games could be.

A Plague Tale is that and more. The combat and puzzles are nothing strenuous - they are perfectly straightforward without being too simple, engaging without taking away from the story. Each new mechanic is introduced smoothly and used just enough before adding the next thing.

The story is excellent - I was utterly engrossed from start to finish. I found that I cared a lot for the fate of Amicia, Hugo, and all the others. Few games have inspired the commitment that this one has. I wholeheartedly recommend this game.
