While Telltale's games have steadily gone from good to better over every installment (having played Walking Dead s1, s2, Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands), this is a bit of a low mark for the studio. While the writing is interesting, spinning a compelling story from old material, many of of the gameplay elements, such as they are in a Telltale title, made me loudly groan in displeasure. The animations are occasionally wonky. Some of the characterizations were sup-bar. And perhaps worst of all, the choices I made were sometimes inconsequential. And not just in the cruel twist of fate kind of way, driving home the point that some choices don't matter. The game actually ignored some of my larger plot decisions. It usually happened in recaps, but I know of at least one occurrence where dialogue went rogue, accusing me of a decision that I had never made. All in all, I cannot recommend this title. I love Telltale's work, but this is not their finest hour. Not by far. Seeing as the studio usually holds themselves to a very high standard, I suspect that the license holder (Warner Brothers) were pushing for a release before the product was ready for it. It'd suit their modus operandi far better than that Telltale wouldn't care about releasing a polished product.
