A Plague Tale: Innocence does certainly appear to be that one game with the sensible rats

If you want seeing swarms of rats burst out of pulsating corpses and devour males alive, boy howdy do I’ve the video for you. Sixteen minutes of sneaking, puzzling, and murdering-by-rat from A Plague Tale: Innocence are yours to look at in a gameplay video creeping out of Gamescom at this time. Y’know, that’s the stealth puzzler about youngsters travelling throughout 14th Century France by way of struggle and the Black Death, the game our former Adam (RPS in peace) said “will almost certainly be That One Game With The Brilliant Rats”. They are certainly sensible rats, flowing like a river product of tooth. Come see!

(If that appears acquainted, you would possibly’ve seen bits of it with blokes speaking excessive throughout E3 in June.)
