This has been on my list for awhile, but I always found a reason to put it off. I finally got around to playing and finishing it and it was way better than I assumed it would be.

This is basically The Last of Us, but in the 1300's with a twist on the bubonic plague. You've got stealth-based combat, a sister and brother duo, and a phenomenal world to experience.

The story is good, albeit a little predictable but that doesn't mean it's not worth experiencing. The character building was my favorite part of this game and I really ended up enjoying Amicia, Hugo, and the other parts of the crew. I felt like the pacing of the story, gameplay, and character introduction are pretty perfect and to top it off, the game knows when to end and doesn't outstay its welcome.

I clocked in around 12 hours for my initial playthrough and played ~3 more hours to get the remaining trophies I missed. Definitely a shorter experience, I guess, but I find myself preferring this length of game rather than the open world 70 hour bullshit.

Overall, if you're into The Last of Us, light-stealth games, or just a solid experience, I definitely recommend this game. I'm looking forward to playing the sequel that released pretty recently 🐀
