    In a world of enormous RPGs with seemingly endless side quests and huge maps, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a refreshing change of pace, and proves that sometimes, less is more. A great RPG doesn't necessarily need to be a 60-hour adventure; it just needs to convincingly drop you into another person's magboots. The Expanse does that and then some, forcing you to make difficult decisions that will haunt you long after you've finished playing.

    Even though The Expanse: A Telltale Series has some of the issues with diversity in gameplay and monotony when outside of dialogue, it's clear Telltale Games is back in action.

    Telltale’s entry to The Expanse feels like an obvious move. A world rife with conflict, character and violence is reimagined through the snarky and laser-focused lens of Camina Drummer - and it’s brimming with life and excitement. This carefully spun narrative buries the arbitrary action gameplay, and is totally worth the few hours you’ll need spare to sink this game.

    Telltale has delivered yet another thrilling experience, but this time they've gone all out with the choice system. The player's decisions carry a very fine line between life and death, and every stage of the story can be altered depending on the actions of the player. The Expanse: A Telltale Series not only serves as a testament to the evolution of Telltale's game design, but also boasts stunning visuals that keep the pace with constant technological development.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series makes for a compelling prequel to the show with a few glaring issues outshone by complex, engaging characters.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series works well as a tie-in, because it recreates the atmosphere of the series and explores the past of a loved character (Cara Gee as Drummer is amazing as always!). However, as a whole, it is a middling game that ends before it really gets going. I also regret that the developers missed the opportunity to delve deeper into The Expanse’s universe, as this setting has a lot to offer.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a short, unexciting, and slow narrative adventure, full of unlikable characters and repetitive gameplay. Despite a great performance from Cara Gee as Drummer and a few engaging player choices, it is a waste of space.

    I'm glad Telltale returns, unfortunately it returns creating its worst game, boring, crude, poor decisions, etc.

    Take this with a grain of salt, I have never seen The Expanse TV show, but my god was the game boring. Absolutely nothing happened other thanTake this with a grain of salt, I have never seen The Expanse TV show, but my god was the game boring. Absolutely nothing happened other than I had to cut someone's leg off. THAT IS IT. One episode release, as Telltale always had done, so we really didn't get much to judge off in the first place. This game was clearly made for older audiences and by older I mean over 40, because the reaction time events are long enough for me to play a better game. Ratchet and Clank had faster reaction time events and that's a kids game for crying out loud. I was really excited for another Telltale game and this half finished game made me wish for them to never return.… Expand

    Telltale Games needs to stop making new games. They will never learn. I don't think there is any other game company this badly managed.
