183: A Plague Tale: Innocence

A Plague Tale: Innocence is a beautiful if gruesome stealth action game from Asobo Interactive. Set in 12th century France, you’ll play as Amicia De Rune, a girl from a noble family in the French countryside, as she tries to protect her young brother Hugo from plague, unnaturally organized swarms of man eating rats, and an almost comically villainous English inquisition. This is an uncommonly beautiful game for its 10 hour length, with beautiful textures and incredibly well realized rat swarming physics. It’s available on PS4 and XBox One (where it really shines on the “pro” versions of those consoles) and on Windows. Expect it to take about 10 hours to complete.
