A memorable adventure at a reduced price on PS5
A Plague Tale: Innocence follows Amicia and her younger brother Hugo in a medieval France ravaged by plague and the Inquisition. Hunted by soldiers and surrounded by hordes of rats, the two children must survive in a brutal world. The story, centered on the sibling relationship, surprised when it was released with its dark atmosphere and emotional intensity. When released for PS4 in 2019, the game earned an average of 81 on Metacritic, based on 61 reviews.
Technical improvements for PS5 players
Purchasing through the PlayStation Store grants access to the PS4 and PS5 versions. On PS5, the game benefits from notable improvements: 4K resolution, 60 frames per second, improved graphics and reduced loading times. For a price of less than $10, these technical optimizations further strengthen the interest of the offer.
A review that highlights its unique atmosphere
Our critic gave it a score of 9/10, praising its atmosphere and its staging. “My experience with A Plague Tale: Innocence felt like I had stumbled across a low-budget, but well-made genre film in a video store, shoved in the horror section because it didn’t fit anywhere else.” “Sometimes when thousands of rats invade a room through the gutters, through holes in the walls, or even through the earth itself, it’s really disturbing.”
Promotion ends February 26 at 2:59 p.m. EST. After this date, the price will return to its usual rate of $39.99. For players who were still hesitant to discover this narrative adventure, the window is narrow.
