A truly fantastic narrative game that tells the story of a family sticking together against all odds when facing a troubling plague, harsh conflict, and pure horror. The game captures the mood of medieval France exceptionally well, with a dark, oppressive atmosphere layered over it. It isn’t shy about exposing the player to the horrors of plague and war, delivering a grounded, mature story and setting. The characters are excellent, each with their own personality, and they offer a compelling look at different social classes.

The graphics hold up even today, with characters fully expressing emotion and life. The world’s art direction is strong, it is somewhat linear, but still engaging. I did encounter a few graphical draw issues during sudden scene transitions, but nothing that affected the overall experience.

The sound and music are fantastic. The score carries the story beautifully, and the sound effects feel appropriate and immersive for every situation.

I love this series and hope it continues well into the future. It’s one of the best game series I’ve played in a good while, and if you haven’t given it a try, I highly recommend it. If you’re into stealth, strong storytelling, and well crafted plot, you won’t be disappointed. 5/5.
