As one of the first few graphically-intensive games I ever played after acquiring a computer that was neither a toast nor a refrigerator, I hold it close to heart for showing me that the hardships of life can be a phase if you are able to keep looking forward to the path ahead.It tells us the story of Amicia and her sickly little brother Hugo de Rune, siblings chased by the inquisition, and whose lives took a big turn and went from calm and tranquil to dark and full of terrors after a series of tragic events that left both of them without the warmth of a parent's embrace.A game you almost could say has it all; from some of the most creative puzzles I've seen, all the way to escape sequences to get you jumping on your chair, A Plague Tale is the kind of game that quite frankly could hardly get any better, aside from perhaps making cute little Hugo be slightly less annoying, which I do admit would be quite a challenge.It is an unnerving descent into the depths of hell where a torch — or pretty much any source of light, for that matter — can mean the difference between life and death, and finding respite quickly becomes an idealistic image we can only dream of achieving.While you could say that the game peaks in horridness right then and there, that'd only be the start of a formidable gut-wrenching experience."
