The Wolf Among Us

Not much game play to game on and no puzzles like the usual point and click affair. Basically this feels like a interactive movie and what a good movie this is. A griity adult take on childerns fairy tail characters that works really well. After playing and beating this I just wanted to experience more dark adventures in Fabletown.

Based on the excellent Fables comic book series by Bill Willingham that explores the lives of fairy tale characters living in modern-day Manhattan, The Wolf Among Us places us in the role of Bigby Wolf some twenty years prior to the events in Fables. Bigby’s the sheriff of Fabletown and right off the bat he’s tasked with investigating the murder of a woman, probably committed by one of Fabletown’s own. Undoubtedly, one of the game’s greatest strengths is the source material it draws from to create a unique tale of its own, combining a great soundtrack and color scheme (check the comics, that one’s all Telltale) that work wonders building an atmosphere befitting a noir murder mystery. Solving puzzles is perhaps one of mankind’s greatest weaknesses and while we all love a good detective story, some are definitely better than others and none are better than British TV at that (Poirot, Morse, Marple, Sherlock, etc.). The Wolf Among Us reminded me of those great detective stories where we follow the lead (and his partner) as he interrogates each suspect, make guesses as to who had the motive, means, and opportunity, and wait for all to be revealed in that final room scene. This time around, however, we’re the ones putting together the clues and gathering the suspects in a room to finally reveal the culprit. Like any good murder mystery, The Wolf Among Us has many twists and turns that keep us guessing who’s lying and what they’re lying about, and more than a few surprises along the way. As a plus, Fables connoisseurs can enjoy the wonderful back-and-forth between Bigby and Snow (White). I’m definitely looking forward to the two resuming their investigative partnership in a second season. Ultimately, if you enjoy Telltale games, with all their caveats (illusion of choice and limited interactivity being first and foremost), then it's likely you'll enjoy The Wolf Among Us as it's easily one of their best stories.

This game is amazing. One of the best games I ever played. Much better than Walking Dead series.

The game played excellently until I started getting toward the end of the episodes and encountered a bug where when I performed an action with impact the outcome of my choice wouldn't be displayed. There was also a couple times where it showed keyboard prompts when I was using a standard Xbox One Controller. Also a rough spot to conclude this portion of the story when we will likely never see the rest of it :(

One of the best story in a video game.A MustHave for all who love a very good detective story!!!
