I had a great time with the first "A Plague Tale" game !
Granted, it feels rough around the edges in a bunch of ways. Some tinier (overlapping voices in dialogues, some unbalanced gameplay mechanics) and some bigger (the game drags in the last half, the presentation and voice acting can be spotty).
But overall, the relationship of the main siblings works quite well ! It doesn't aim to be as deep and nuanced as a "Last of Us" and that's fine. It succeeds in what it's trying to do, and I cared way more than I thought I would about the cast.
The game is mostly puzzles rather than action sequences which I quite enjoyed, no matter how simple they were. They always had me thinking at least a little, and there's surprises until the very end which I didn't expect.
Although it's not the best game ever, it was a welcome little adventure that had some great, if clumsy ideas. Can't wait to see where the second one goes !
