So after continuing to conquer my backlog, I finally played A Plague Tale and to cut a long story short, I finished one game on the list but I am going to add another after I post this.

First off, the game is beautiful as it's focused more on the story and setting compared to the gameplay which is serviceable, back to the parts where the game excels, the characters. We follow Amicia and Hugo through the french countryside and towns which was enjoyable and it evoked feelings of The Last of Us as they bond together, have a falling out and then reunite, repeatedly. The antagonists of the game are not exactly top tier as you have rats, knight man (Fighter of the day man) and religious nutjob, I've given them about as much depth as the game does.

Gameplay is generic stealth for the most part, if you let knights/rats get to you then you die so you're better off hitting objects to distract, sneak and rock your way to victory. Light plays a role in dealing with the rats and later humans, being able to ward off the rats or taken out to let the rats deal with thy enemies. There's also crafting.

It's pretty much what it says on the tin and for the current price of £7, highly recommend for a short game with decent quality.
