After just recently finishing Dispatch, i found myself itching for more of the telltale experience and this more than delivered. Why I haven't gotten to this one until now is insane. This is telltale at its finest and I hope we do finally see Season 2 of The Wolf Among Us. Now to say it doesn't have any issues is incorrect there is , after 12 years ,times when the game just says your choice is blank. There is an …

A Gritty, Glamorous Noir That Packs a Punch The Wolf Among Us is Telltale at its stylistic peak, plunging players into the rain-slicked, neon-soaked underbelly of Fabletown. Forget fairy tales, this is a hard-boiled detective story where familiar characters are desperate, flawed, and trying to survive in a world that hates them. https://youtu.be/fx9LPA8Xsr4 The game's greatest strength is its incredibly compelling …

One of the best story-driven games I’ve ever played. The story is dark, deep, and full of mystery, keeping you engaged from the first minute until the very end. Bigby Wolf is a very well-written character, and every choice you make feels meaningful and carries real weight. The comic-book art style is beautiful and gives the game a unique identity. Voice acting is excellent and adds a lot of emotional impact, while …

Telltale Games at their prime. The Wolf Among Us is an amazing murder drama that will keep you thinking about it past its runtime. The gameplay is about what you expect out of a Telltale game with your choices having more of an impact on who you make yourself out to be rather than having some massive impact on the direction of the narrative. Both the story and characters are great with even your closest allies …

The first game is getting a remaster this year and the second is next year. 👍 Bigby is back baby!! 🐺

CLIFFHANGERS BE CLIFFHANGING. I'M YELLING & GROSSED OUT BY EVENTS (if you know, you know)! And Bigby continues to be awesome.
positive · AI labelView post →Sometimes I fantasize about Bigby coming home drunk and beating me until I feel numb. He kicks me in the ribs until I can hardly breathe. Then he starts to cry and apologizes, begging me to forgive him. He holds me all night as I gently cry into his t-shirt. Play this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great story game, and my favorite Telltale Game. But it seems like GTA6 might release before season 2 of this game does.

That being said it is a great game and I couldn't put it down as the story was really good. It helped that I love the Big Bad Wolf and only wish he could embrace his inner wolf more.

neutral · AI labelView post →Telltale has some fine writers..you are just playing the title at your own pace, making the choices per the scenario but then it has an unexpected twist at the end that makes you contemplate your choices. In the end story has a message that leaves you broken and sad. I feel for you Wolf, hoping to see you around again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wolf Among Us hooked me pretty much immediately. The whole idea of fairy tale characters living secretly among ordinary people is such an awesome concept, and the game pulls it off so effortlessly that after an hour it just feels completely natural. The world is dark, gritty and honestly way more depressing than I expected from a Telltale game. I've heard The Walking Dead is pretty dark too, but having only played the Batman games before this, it definitely caught me off guard. That's…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 The Wolf Among Us works because it knows exactly what it wants to be and never overexplains itself. From the start, it drops you into its world and trusts you to figure things out as you go. The writing feels confident, and the story moves forward naturally without holding your hand or relying on cheap tricks to keep your attention. What really makes the game hit is how it handles its characters. These are familiar names, but they don’t feel like gimmicks or references for the sake…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Wolf Among Us is, and no one will convince me otherwise, the single greatest game of classic Telltale. The art, the story, and the themes come together to create an experiance that I don't believe could be rendered as well any other way. The only thing I am disapointed by, is that we never got, and likely never will get, a season 2. It deserved it.

In The Wolf Among Us there is a scene where Beast thinks you are sleeping with Belle and attacks you in misguided jealousy. The game throws a series of quick time event button…
