Deal | This adventure game set in the Middle Ages, loved by 93% of players, is under $4 on Steam

In 1348, the Black Death and the Hundred Years' War ravaged France. It is against this backdrop that A Plague Tale: Innocence, an adventure game developed by Asobo Studio, takes place.

This game puts you in the shoes of Amicia, a young girl from a noble family, accompanied by her younger brother Hugo. However, he is sick and pursued by the Inquisition for unknown reasons.

To survive, you'll have to cross medieval villages and battlefields. Increase your chances by relying on stealth and joining forces with other children. If necessary, Amicia can also wield a sling to break chains, stun enemies, or create distractions to progress.

The Inquisition's soldiers are not the only threat. Swarms of rats have invaded the kingdom and are spreading disease. To repel them, you'll need to use fire and light. But your enemy can also become your ally, and Hugo might be able to help you.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is rated "Very Positive" on Steam, with 93% of its 73,790 reviews being positive. On Metacritic, the trend is similar, as it has a Metascore of 81 and a user score of 8.4. This game is appreciated for its story and graphics. Its stealth mechanics are also praised by players and The Telegraph describes the game as "Gripping, heartbreaking."
