One look at A Plague Tale: Innocence, and it's fairly clear where its inspirations lie. The bleak action adventure apes The Last of Us in a few ways, and while it's not quite on the same level, some of the gameplay, and certainly the tone, is pretty similar. A new, 8-minute gameplay video shows protagonist Amicia making her way through a town overrun by enemies and, of course, the game's signature hordes of rats.
In search of her brother, she has to navigate some pretty grisly locations while fending off the rats with sources of light and avoiding the attention of the guards. It seems a big part of this will include scavenging for useful items, and crafting equipment in a radial menu. You'll also be able to upgrade certain things at specific points, allowing you to carry more ammo, or make Amicia's sling weapon quieter. The game is looking pretty decent, if a little derivative. Still, if the story side of things holds up, this could be an interesting title.

I would love the author to name one game thatβs not derivative I really would
@dark_knightmare2 We could argue semantics, or we could talk about A Plague Tale: Innocence.
Let's go with the latter please
@Quintumply itβs cool Iβm there day one for this game. Do you know if its digital only or can I get physical?
Do we know what price range is expected for this? I'm interested, but not Β£55 interested.
@dark_knightmare2 Yes it's getting a physical release as well
@Quintumply really! thanks for the info def getting physical
God, this game looks slow, boring, and, yes, derivative of Naughty Dog's game design.
The character even incessantly talks to herself as she walks around!
From what I've seen i don't think this is going to be any good. I hope I'm wrong about that.
@Paranoimia 49.99 euro
so around 43 pounds i think.
also realy interested in this game. a unique setting aswell.
not every game needs to be action packed or a huge RPG people.
besides this game is different from some other games and is that not what everybody wants (according to the days gone reception)?
@Ralizah I love it cant wait to play it and i cant disagree more even if i wanted too. π
@Flaming_Kaiser Well, I certainly hope you enjoy it, then!
Looks like my cup of tea.
@Ralizah Then we think alike. π
@playstation1995 written and spelled like a true Frenchman π
@dark_knightmare2 Yeah, usually people say "derivative" when they mean "not my cup of tea" or "in a genre I'm not particularly fond of". It could be extremely derivative, but if people like what it's derivative of, they don't pick up on it.
