    This episode is again quite short though. I finished it in under an hour and a half. If all five episodes end up being similar in length, then we’re only going to have so many chances to move the plot forward, so it does feel strange that we have an entire episode that does so little to advance the game’s main story. Perhaps the third episode will throw things into full burn, but right now, I’m left wondering if there’s even time for this to be a truly deep plot or if, in the end, The Expanse: A Telltale Series will end up telling a fairly straightforward and minor tale. Either way, I’m definitely ready to see what comes next which is always what you want in an episodic game.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode 2 is a step up from its predecessor as the series begins to settle in and takes advantage of interpersonal drama to really elevate the choices. It does suffer from some of the same issues as Episode 1 and doesn't quite land an attempt to try something new with its gameplay, but it highlights what makes Telltale unique, and why I'm glad they are back.
