GameTech: Innocence lost as the rats take over

When you smell a rat, it usually means something bad is going down. Things get far worse, however, when a rat smells you. In the excellent A Plague Tale: Innocence, the rodents act like land-based piranhas, hunting down humans in packs and devouring people whole.

The horrific rats might be the selling point of A Plague Tale, but the game oozes more than just infectious pus. It oozes charm and quality too. A Plague Tale is one of the best-written and most compelling games of 2019 so far.
