Welcome to the Game Trade Review, where I give my take on games a friend had me play after playing it one time. Today I will talk about a game I finished over the holidays. A lovely game about kids getting their lives disrupted by religious fanatics and a mysterious disease. A Plague Tale: Innocence was never the kind of game you’d play for escapism, but it’s certainly providing even less of that today. It is worth noting that this game came out in 2019, so anything that happened since then has no influence on the making of this game. I’m not here to write some half-assed college essay about the role of disease in media. I’m sure there’s some interesting things to be said there, but I’m good. I’m here to talk about what I think about this game. So let’s get into it. Disclaimer: this review will contain spoilers.
