Interesting game, feels like a story-rich walking simulator set during the black plague in the 1300s. You play as Amicia de Rune, daughter of a noble family in France, after the English invade France and kill Amicia's mother and father she is forced to flee with her brother Hugo to escape the Englishman, while facing plague rats in every corner, Hugo's disease, the inquisition who seeks to weaponize the rats for their interests and meeting friends and foes along the way. While the story is interesting enough to keep playing, and the first 10 chapters (out of 16-17) are somewhat innovative and fun to play, the extreme tediousness in combat, progression, and slow storytelling make the game extremely boring at later stages. It took me almost a year to finish this game which is shorter than 15 hours due to its tedious final chapters, specifically the last 2 chapters which feel more like a chore than a game. The final fight and the ending were disappointing and unrewarding. Achievements were the only thing I liked and I 100% the game. Not everything is negative tho, and while the game lacks better gameplay, is slow and tedious towards the end, it makes up for it with its stunning graphics, great voice acting, and (during the first half of the game) a very unique story and great atmosphere. Overall I think this game offers an interesting experience although it felt way longer than it was and most definitely won't be playing its sequel. I think it is not worth its full price but it is worth it if you buy it on 50% off or more.

6/10
