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.
