The Wolf Among Us

Interactive media at its finest. If you are new to videogames I could not think of a better place to start than a Telltale game, more so The Wolf Among Us. A simple point and click adventure full of interesting characters and a world worth investing your time into.

I remember the end of the first episode .... "Oh..." At that point I didn't know the fable comics yet and was just shocked - at least a little bit. I am not much a fan of these choice games. I liked the Walking Dead Season 1, but never brought myself to play the rest or Guardians of the Galaxy. Ok, I finished the Batman series, but just because he's Batman. But this game ... it got me from the start. The characters are great, the story intriguing. It's just well done. Luckily enough it was released after the Win10 change in DXInput, which causes a lot of players to leave bad reviews for older Telltale games, since TT never bothered to release any patches. Other than in some other choice games (like Batman), some choices are actually rewarding. You can actually do something right for a change. Why only 4 stars? Well, it IS a choice game after all, even with a rather high adventure part in it, and I really don't like it when I have to choose who to let down. Like I said, in this game that aspect is not as strong as in others, but it's still there. Don't get me wrong, I am not against choices, in many old point and click adventure games you can choose a path or can choose different things to say for customization. But I don't understand why writers think that players enjoy the thought of having made a mistake or to disappoint even virtual characters. Well, some may do that, but I don't. I'm looking forward to the sequel and hope it will live up to this game.

Going into this game, I knew I was going to enjoy it. True it was as much movie as game, but it owns this completely, enveloping the player in the plot and environment incredibly well. If you love getting wrapped up in the world and characters that inhabit it, step on in. This game is for you. But if you came in expecting a more classic game-type, you are coming in for the wrong reason. It might still be worth your time, but it’s not going to be what you were looking for.

Story and characters are nice. Its still Telltale so don't expect your choices will matter to much

One of the best story-rich games I've played. Great story, great graphic style, great music, great atmosphere design.
