A Plague Tale: Innocence's version of the real-life medieval pandemic is still one of the most intense and perhaps resonant ever seen in gaming.
Asobo Studio's A Plague Tale: Innocence is today's free game on the Epic Games Store, so you have 24 hours to grab it before it's replaced.
Asobo has said that they never considered making A Plague Tale sequel, and left the opening open-ended just in case. The studio also adds they spent a "considerable time" studying feedback from both players and critics for the follow-up, too.
For the month of September 2022, we have the complete list of games that will be removed from the Xbox Game Pass by September 15.
Playing The Artful Escape at the moment. Has to be the most inappropriately titled game I've ever played.
Flynn: Son of Crimson has been a very enjoyable game. I'm nearing the end after playing off and on for a week - definitely enough time for someone to beat it before it's off.
Level design and combat are great, and I love the music and art style, even if overall game design is a bit tropey (enemy variety = different color sprites, battle encounters feel like they're there to be there, the "Scourge" levels with the floating hammer chasing you are super cheesy).
Why do they remove titles? I’m less likely to jump into a huge game like FFXIII if I know it is only available for a limited time - and never knowing when that time might end.
Uh-oh. Looks like I better download A Plague Tale: Innocence and give it a playthrough soon.
Amazing game from top to bottom. The characters, story, rats, atmosphere, just so many things in this game they nailed.
