If you’ve never played the Plague Tale games, then you’ve missed out on a pair of stealth-focused action-adventure games that follow the siblings Amicia and Hugo as they attempt to survive in a rat-infested medieval world while being hunted by dangerous forces. The games are all about cleverly misleading your opponents and avoiding them.
The first game, A Plague Tale: Innocence, was one of GameSpot’s best games of 2019 and its 2022 sequel, A Plague Tale: Requiem, earned a solid 7/10 score. “A Plague Tale: Requiem excels in the same areas its predecessor did. Its stealth-action gameplay is uneven but has at least improved, introducing more tools for you to play around with and expanding in scope,” Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot’s A Plague Tale: Requiem review.
Both games look fantastic on console, as they combine historically accurate designs with artistic license to create hauntingly beautiful locales filled with an ungodly number of rats. If you’re looking to play the game at its visual best, you can also consider getting a PlayStation 5 Pro console and Sony’s $80 Disc Drive attachment. The new console is available to preorder now at major retailers ahead of its November 7 release, and the machine features a larger GPU that–according to Sony–allows for up to 45% faster rendering. It also has AI-driven upscaling and advanced ray tracing, so those thousands of creepy rats in the Plague Tale game should look even more horrifying.
Other game deals to keep an eye out for include Metaphor ReFantazio‘s launch discount at Fanatical, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for only $50, and EA Sports College Football for just $41.
