    A beautiful game in the world of Fables. The art design is beautiful. I loved beating up with Bigby. Bloody Mary design is great.

The main villain (The crooked Man) annoyed me so much because he was so stuck up and he had that stupid look on his face thinking am going to get away from this, but he doesn't.    … Expand

    This game is perfect in everything that is both narrative and the story arc of the characters achieved something few games get to do which is CONNECTED WITH THE CHARACTERS this is very important for a game that is based entirely on its history, it is simply magnificent, my score 10/10

    Bought the game while it was on sale for insanely cheap on Steam, and so far, really well worth it. Equally as intriguing as the first season of Telltale's Walking Dead game, if not moreso. Very engaging choices and interesting characters with depth. Telltale's signature art style is seen again in this game, and I have no complaints, the game is beautiful. Really enjoying myself thus far.

    It has a Very interesting and exciting story. Very unique play style. It's one of a few single player games I really enjoyed. I can't call it's a game since basically you just watch it, more like a very long movie, but it is amazing. Totally worth my money. It deserves 10/10.

    This game will definitely teach you something, it's a guarantee. Especially decision-making skill.

    Give it 9 or 10?
    Is 9.5 exist?? No? Okay, 9 then.
    -Maybe it's because of a minor glitches on gameplay. Which has no effect on the great storyline though, but yes it is flaw.
    -There are some animation elements in the scene that are less integrated. Example when clicking "Look" to the wall magz for the second time, Bigby still use the "walk_in_&_get_closer_to_the_wall_magz" animation, when he was already IFO the wall magz.

    Over all, this is definitely a must buy game.    … Expand

    Great first episode. Great music, great art, great story, and great dialog. Only gripe with the game is that it is too good and I felt there could have been more choices but Telltale are really defining a new genre.

    I also grew with Monkey Island and the other greats at the time but I can see that what Telltale is doing is different. The game is more akin to those choose your own adventure books than to a true adventure game. And if you see it in this light then you can trully enjoy it for what it is, a great semi-interactive story.

    And the choices you have to make are quite good, only very rarely I felt like I couldn't choose what I wanted to choose which has been a problem even with Monkey Island. Like for instance a character gives you sob story and I wanted to say: I believe you, you can go. But I didn't get that choice which can feel constricting at times but that was really only 1 time during the episode.

    Overall, highly recommended.    … Expand

    A superb game by telltale once again. Great art style music and characters. It offers dark humour in places and difficult character choices, so much that you question yourself whats right and wrong and explore many different emotions. I think the next step for telltale is to offer more game play methods to really break the barrier so for that reason 9/10

    It has all be done before and much better so many other games, alter, tailoring gamer choices to events and outcomes. Even a game coming from under the same brand the Walking Dead had many better choices of characters left in play from direct game event actions. But also tedious when having a naff ending and lacking in much specific difference.

    Puzzle games, seek and search games are wonderful. However this isn't that type of game, items often wont fit as in if you do or don't have them, they are painfully easy to find, further they are mostly of no real consequence to outcomes. Actions won't particularly effect any game play neither will most choices of speech.

    Somebody will argue because I tore off a creatures arm in a programmed sequenced fight. The game is severely altered Oh no. That same armless guy is saying the same things to me in all the same places, however armless. if going to a different location this will affect a different game outcome? No! The same events will always take place, more through a lack of any actual event though. dulling wait another few months to get a different starting episode animation that won't have altered anything.

    Ultimately a tedious rip off selling a 1/5 of the game every few months to get more money from the gamer, but never the entire game for any complete discounted satisfaction.

    Simply them playing out a story for the gamer , where personally I would rather be watching my TV or reading a book. Avoid a complete waste of time until the full version is available at a discount    … Expand

    This game shows you how not even the fairytale life isn't just magic, and princes, and happy endings, and you can't get comfortable before something bad happens. It is a mature detective noir game, in spotlight with big bad wolf's dificult morale choices. I hgihly recommend playing it, like every other Telltale Game it's a hit.
