The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition

The criticism of the gameplay is fair, but I play these games for the story and characters. The characters are okay, the actors are great, the animations are good, the music in the background is perfect. It's a shame that there are few episodes and they are short. There's not enough time to immerse yourself in the universe or really get attached to the characters. I really enjoyed the game. I'm glad it's available on GOG and I hope Telltale doesn't die

I like Visual Novels so I am little biased, but this is excllent additon to that genre. I did not watched TV show but I have really enjoyed this. It was hard work to get ending I wanted but it was all worth it.

The Expanse didn't remind me of a Telltale game, or even some of Deck Nine's other games like the Life Is Strange series. It just didn't feel like it had the same passion behind it - like they just didn't care much for the property. Instead, it offered a disappointingly linear story, with minimal room for player agency or meaningful decisions. One of the criticisms of later Telltale games was that there wasn't enough gameplay. I was one of those critics, but having played this game, I now realize that a little bad gameplay is better than a lot of bad gameplay. The Expanse had way too much tedious exploration of empty, boring environments, rewarding the player with empty, boring dialogue. The game had some promising ideas, but none of them felt fully fleshed out. What's particularly worrisome is the possibility that this game might hurt Telltale's chances of a comeback. I was one of their biggest fans, and I hope to be again some day, but unfortunately this game just didn't make the landing, for whatever reason. Still rooting for you, Telltale!

I own the game for Playstatiopn, but consider buying it here again as big fan of the original series allthough the game has missed the mark. The Expanse was the ultimate Sci-Fi serioes ever aired in decades with the last season ending in a premature technical death-ish. Telltale delivers us with a prequel to the original series. I can't tell if it's storywise accurate. However, Telltale should have gone the extra mile reading the books and delivering what we most probably never get to see on Amazon Prime. Regardless, it is a nice attempt to engage with the story, even though I don't think it adds much to the show, simply by the fact that it is a "prequel". Overall, the game feels cartoonish in art style and I don't have a problem with it. The story itself is rather solid but way too short. And I have to sday, I don't think we will see much more content as originally intended.
