    First about the technical and art aspects - they are top notch. Graphics, art direction, dialog, voice overs - all of those are at a very high level. It definitely will give a lot of animated series and movies a run for their money.

    Now the game play has been disappointing for some as it is unlike Monkey Island or any classic adventure game for that matter. While you do have an inventory and sometimes get to use items from it there really are no puzzles to solve. The game just moves along regardless if you do things or not. I think to get full enjoyment out of it you should view this game more as one of those "choose your own adventure books" but with a great story, great characters and some though choices rather than as an adventure game. If you do that you will have a blast, if you are looking for clever puzzles then I am afraid this might not be the game for you.

    The choices are pretty hard regardless whether they really matter and so on in the end. What matters is that you know what choices you made and some of them were some of the hardest choices I have ever had to make outside of real life.

    The characters are very interesting and the game is quite mature, and not in a boobs everywhere type of way. There is poverty, forced prostitution, loan sharks, and even the bad guys are more of anti-heroes than just one dimensional evil characters.

    The whole settings, based on the Fable comics which are quite great, is awesome. But I am a sucker for fairy tales and seeing this downtrodden community of characters you grew up with facing every day life far from their home is downright heartbreaking.

    And this is what this game ultimately gave me, it gave me a good 8 hours of an emotional roller coaster filled with hard choices. I was angry, I was sad, I was happy, and I was sorry... the walking dead made me cry, but this made me feel.

    Overall, highly recommended!    … Expand

    A fantastic game. Finished it in two days. It's got a great story and very relatable characters. If you're a sucker for adventure games, you probably like great stories. And if you like great stories, you'll absolutely love this game. Stellar storytelling.
    The Walking Dead is a masterpiece and so is this one. I have absolute confidence in Telltale Games. They can do no wrong.

    The Wolf Among Us starts off brilliantly with the first episode showcasing some of the best writing in all the video games I've played.

The noirish setting with its unique art style had me hooked, and most of the characters that are introduced have a lot of depth and personality. Voice acting is great and the soundtrack feels appropriate for every scene, aiding whatever emotional impact the game attempts to induce. Overall, the first episode gave me a very positive impression of the game and the cliffhanger ending had me wanting more.

    Subsequent episodes are still quite decent, however I felt they weren't of the same calibre as the first episode which I consider to be the most well constructed of all five. Difficult choices are present throughout the series, however the game does occasionally feel as if there's very little progression and some glaring plot holes also start to emerge. I think most people will agree that the fourth episode was relatively weak, as not only was it the shortest, but the secondary characters that were introduced felt poorly developed and the build up to the finale was underwhelming. The final episode had some pretty epic action scenes, but the Crooked Man doesn't feel like much of a threatening antagonist, thus the trial scene wasn't as tense or climactic as I expected. I was also hoping for a better resolution between Bigby and Snow, though the final interaction with Nerissa is very eye-opening and concludes the series on an overall positive note.

    Lastly, throughout the whole game, you'll also probably encounter occasional stuttering. Some of the animations may also seem a bit jerky, particularly in action scenes, but none of this isn't very significant. Finishing the game, I couldn't help feeling slightly disappointed that the rest of the game didn't quite hold up to the very high standards of the first episode. However, the game is still very engaging and well worth the price. Anyone who has played previous games from Telltale, or anyone interested in what is a very mature and memorable setting should consider playing The Wolf Among Us.

    I don't like adventure games, but gave this one a try because of the good reviews, and I'm glad I did. Excellent art and writing, great voice acting, and a fair amount of branching choices to help you define your character and create the story.

    I still don't like adventure games, but I'll continue to make exceptions for anything from this studio, as long as they maintain this level of quality.

    The combination of art, music, and story actually manages to be better than the comic it is based on. In particular, the women characters are portrayed with more depth than in the first few years of the comic.

    I don't usually go for cartoony games, but I took a chance on this because I enjoyed the Walking Dead game. Bottom line: I think Wolf is better than Dead.

However, I found the setting original and the story-telling to be everything I could have hoped for. Compared to the Walking dead game, I found this one to be better for the following reasons: (1) Wolf gives you ample opportunity to engage your inner badass (2) the grittiness and violence ground the story so that its not too fantastic (3) the fantasy elements are part most people's culture, so we all can participate without special learning effort. (4) the Fabletown citizen decision making at the end of the game appeared to me to be a novel game mechanic and was temporarily memorized. Perhaps its not as deep as it appeared, but I felt like there was a difficult mob mechanic that I was ultimately able to win-over to my opinion.

    That that being said, I deducted a full point from the rating because the developer failed to allow freaking keybindings. This is completely unacceptable in 2015. I probably should have deducted 9 points to show my utter disdain for this sin. I'm not left handed, by why alienate a huge percentage of the population?

    Finally, I must complain about the action sequences. I can't say for sure, but I think they alter the game in any way. So why include them? I never died. Am I really that good? Replace that WASDQ bullocks with more mouse select-able choices. One of of my favorite choices to select was "hit him" - so do more of that and get rid of the WASDQ.    … Expand

It feels like R-rated Disney, not that it's goofy, but that it takes well-known fairy-tales and brings them into a dark and gritty world. I highly recommend this game.

    As far as game play, it was really up my alley. I love character driven plots, interactions/dialog that have impacts on the gameplay, and combat that doesn't feel too frantic or button-mashy. This really hit a home run for me. Not only were the dialog choices usually impactful and varied, but they seemed true to character and relevent to the surroundings and mood. The combat felt tense without feeling panicked or rushed. I really felt like I got to play the game my way, and almost never felt shoehorned into making a choice I didn't want to make.

    Some of the controls when you're looking around and moving around on your own are a little wonky. The camera angle when you're walking Bigby around a room can be awkward, and occasionally you might miss certain items to interact with because of it, but that was really the only technical flaw I found. For the more artistic elements, there were a few characters whose voice acting didn't really hit home for me (looking at you, Beauty and Beast), but most everyone else was spot on.

    The highlight of this game though is the story. If you love fairytales or a good piece of fiction, you'll enjoy this game, even without any prior knowledge of the comics. Highly recommend.    … Expand

I could say that both really get you interested from the moment you start playing. I can't say the same for season 2 of TWDG ...that was disappointing but I'll just leave it at that.

    I loved playing TWAU and the finale was so awesome plus the little cliffhanger at the end. I can't wait for season 2 and hope it will be as good as season 1. The story line is great, and the choices available are really good - You can either make your character into a very nice person or a very hostile one, I like that. Not to mention the graphics and the whole atmosphere which is really good. I like the music too, and the whole Fable community; it's interesting.

    The fighting and action parts are good, TellTale have done a real good job at those. You actually feel like you're playing a game as well as playing out a story line and that's essential to make a game a game instead of a movie.

    I love Bigby Wolf just as much as I loved playing as Lee Everett, they're awesome protagonists. Voice acting is great and while you're playing you feel as if you're in the place of the playable character which is awesome. Furthermore, the themes are great, as are the antagonists who have well-written roles just as most, if not all, other characters. I am particularly a fan of Bloody Mary as an antagonist (though I disliked her personality as mostly anyone would, I have to say her character was very well-developed) although all of them are good.

    The only bug I ever received on this game was a minor one, which was fixed just by starting that checkpoint of the game again. It never bothered really bothered me though.

    I have to admit, I am looking forward to season 2 of TWAU more than I am looking forward to season 3 of TWDG, most probably because of how amazing TWAU was and how disappointing season 2 of TWDG was, despite season 1 of TWDG being superb.

    I would recommend this game to anybody who enjoys episodic games with player decisions, this game is definitely not for everyone. I know some people have found this game bad but it is NOT (in many people's opinion). Some decisions may not affect the story line, true, but that is only to build up the whole story until the finale so it doesn't have to make a game bad. You're mostly in control of the player in TWAU. Plot twists are great and this game really gets you thinking - I think that, aside from many other parts, the two parts that really got me thinking and trying to guess was the ending of episode 1 and the ending of episode 5.    … Expand

Недостатки в игре те же, что и в других проектах Telltale: рваная анимация и линейный сюжет. Ещё момент: герои игры являются всем известными сказочными персонажами, однако в плане повествования ничего отдалённо не напоминает сказки, собственно как и оригинальный комикс. Так что те кто ждут интерпретации всеми известных историй под нуар, как Alice у МакГи под готику, то вы разочаруетесь, так как повествование идёт как в обычном нуарном детективе, а не в духе детских книжек.

    Very good and interesting, kind of noir, story. I like Fable universum and it is all inside this game. It is fun to meet new people and discover who they actually are.
    What I miss, and this is problem in these games (WD, GOT), is more interaction. But this is a small thing.

    The things I love... the story with many cliffhangers at the end of each episode, I remember being shocked when it came out and not all episodes were available. It may seem like it's a typical detective story, but trust me. With the interesting setting this game is in, it's way more complicated than it first seems. The characters in TWAU are also very nicely done. This was probably the last Telltale game where they actually weren't money-grabbing **** All characters you meet are important to the story and are very developed. There's not a single character that seems pointless. The positive ones do really help you and feel their presence, negative ones are also awesome, makes you feel scared... until the wolf gets angry. Now we get to the absolute bad ass main character - Bigby Wolf. All his forms bring new gameplay elements. First, it's just a man-looking wolf, then he reveals his second form and becomes way more powerful. Though in the final episode, the enemies managed to make him so angry for him to transform to his true form - the Big Bad Wolf. While playing for this character you feel great, you feel like you have a lot of power and you are not afraid of anything. It's a great feeling. Another thing I absolutely love is the soundtrack. A M A Z I N G! It first the theme and I still can't stop listening to some of the tracks in this game. My favorite one must be the Opening Credits theme.

    Overall, I'd say this is on the level of The Walking Dead. Very powerful, but not in the same way as TWD. A must-play for story-lovers of the game industry. 10/10    … Expand

    It's not the most sophisticated graphics but remains true to the style of the Fables graphic novel series. The fighting is not especially engaging. The story is a sophisticated whodunit that is at least on a par with Bill Willingham's finest. I especially liked the final accounting, when all the aggrieved parties confront the baddie in chief. Then there were a few epilogues that had a lot of heart.

    The most challenging part of the game is knowing what to say or do in situations that are often morally ambiguous. You don't have much time and any choice you make could turn out wrong. Your choices make a real difference in the story and in how people perceive you... and eventually in how you perceive yourself.

Inspired by the same comic book series name, The Wolf Among Us thrusts us into the paws of Sheriff Bigby Wolf who must keep Fabletown together. Having not read the comics of the same name, this game introduces players wonderfully to the dark, grim, and somewhat satirical nature of old fables struggling to thrive in the modern world. The writing is still top notch, as well as the voice acting and animations that accompany it. What I really enjoyed is the very noir inspired synth soundtrack which really draws much inspiration from 80s crime noir films. The mechanics are much the same with The Walking Dead where you go a about a fixed camera angle inspecting items, making conversation and decision, and when the going gets tough QTEs come into place. Its a well working formula that has succeeded in much of the episodes but along with that came TellTale's biggest flaw: your decisions have little impact whatsoever. It irked me a tad when I read on the top left corner that example character notices something, but fails to see any consequences. Even deciding who lives or dies does not change outcomes or later scenarios, which is a big flaw in a game that promotes player choices. Overall it was a vastly engrossing adventure from start to finish, but I somewhat felt I had little control over the occurring events, entertaining or not.… Expand

It is safe to say they delivered. Based on the Fables comic book series this original storyline is sure to have anyone who like a good thriller gripped, with twists and turns throughout.

    The Wolf Among Us was amazing from start to finish, Telltale really shines in their newest game. It's based on the Fables comic book series. You play as Bigby Wolf, or The Big Bad Wolf, who is sheriff of Fabletown. It follows through a string of connected murdles that lead through an unpredictable story that's witty and deceptive. There's so much to love about this game, you can go into it knowing nothing of the comic series, as I did, and still get so much out of it. It's perfect as a prequel and it definitely sparked an interest to check out the comics.

    The story is strung together throughout all 5 episodes, and Bigby really shows why he's called The Big Bad Wolf, he makes a perfect sheriff and can definitely back up his bark with his bite, which episode 5 showcased completely what he's capable of if pushed to his limits. I thought episode 5 brought the season to a perfect close, but also leaves the door open just enough for a second season.

    The controls are easy, choosing what to say when prompted, exploring environments is fun and rewarding, and the script is perfect, especially Bigby's lines. It made me laugh, made me cry, made me sad, and I really felt like I connected with the characters and Fabletown. I really feel like this is Telltale's best work so far, and I loved The Walking Dead and Back To The Future games. I'm really looking forward to see what Telltale has in store for us next!

    There's nothing I can really say is wrong with the game, the choices you make seemlessly weave the story along and I felt like my choices affected the story in a way that felt very personal. I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes comic books or fans of Telltale Games, or even if you liked The Walking Dead game....no not Survival Instinct. But definitely give it a try! You won't regret it. It has an amazing story, the graphics are beautiful and really looks like a comic book. It's probably Telltale's best game so far, and I can't wait to see what's next!

    I give it a 10/10 Perfect score!    … Expand

    What put this game over The Walking Dead for me was the setting, I absolutely loved it! It was basically Once Upon a Time sprinkled with Grimm and I'm all over that. The story was well written which I've come to expect from Teltale and you were constantly left guessing right up until the end, I am still confused about what actually happened 30 minutes later, which honestly I didn't like, I much prefer clear cut endings over the whole "let the player decide what really happened", it's like the cinema shutting off the tape 5 minutes before the end and telling you to imagine the ending. That being said it didn't hurt the game and I have my own theory!

    Teltale have opened my eyes to a genre I never explored before and I thank them for that, I have been really enjoying just sitting back and relaxing in bed deciding people's fates in these interactive films.    … Expand

    I have enjoyed every Tell Tale game I have played thus far but even by that standard The Wolf Among Us is easily my second favourite and a fantastic game. I absolutely love the gritty world it has created taking well known characters from fables and giving them circumstances and lives in our world that is anything from ideal and is very relatable in many cases.

I absolutely love the gritty world it has created taking well known characters from fables and giving them circumstances and lives in our world that is anything from ideal and is very relatable in many cases. The story was extremely well done and I loved many of the choices you could make and ways you could branch things. I didn’t always like the choice options I had but that is actually a good thing as sometimes you don’t have options that are perfect or good so what I loved was how some of them could make me conflicted. The characters are all pretty well explored and I enjoyed them although I would have loved if Bloody Mary had more time in game. I liked how you could be a more brutal Bigby or show restraint or somewhere in the middle. The graphics are similar to other Tell Tale games which is to save a well done comic style. The voice acting was superb across the board with no characters who I would say was voiced poorly. The music was great and the intro credits to each episode really had a good noir feel to it.

    I played The Wolf Among Us on Linux using Wine and DXVK. It crashed once to the desktop but other than that ran great with no other bugs or glitches that I noticed. There are two graphics settings; an AA toggle; and a resolution option. Alt-Tab works. The game manually saves at checkpoints. The spacing on them were alright but it makes trying out different choices a pain sometimes. I would have preferred a manual save system. You can pause cut scenes but not skip them. I couldn’t measure the frame rate but I didn’t notice any lag.

    If you enjoy Tell Tale style games you should really give this a go. You don’t have to know a ton of backstory on the graphic novel or the fable characters to enjoy it as it does a great job explaining things and has a fantastic glossary of characters and events. I finished my play through in eight hours and three minutes and can say I highly enjoyed it and can say it is easily worth it’s current price tag of $19.99 CAD.

One day she met a girl named Faith, and on the same day, Faith was killed and her head was left in front of Bigby's apartment. Who's the killer? and Why? Play the game to the conclusion and you'll get your head blown for it.
    Plus point:
    - After The Walking Dead Season 1, Telltale games made their name known for that masterpiece. And after that, they went and released The Wolf Among Us. When i played the first episode, i was blown. The game is visually beautiful, compared to The Walking Dead, it's totally an upgrade. Kinda like 2D Cell Shading kind of Visual, and it's awesome.
    - The story includes characters that are famous and known to us. Like Snow white, Little Red Riding Hood, Humpty & Dumpty, Bloody Mary, & Etc. Although you never read Fable before, the characters are basically from the fairy tale. So, it's not someone that you don't know at all.
    - Although i must say that the story progress is kinda slow, the conclusion to the game is pretty much awesome. That plot twists are gonna make you nod your head.
    - A much more elaborate battle system. It becomes more similar to Heavy Rain, much more actions you can do, and much more objects that you can interact with. I think this system is an update from The Walking Dead.
    Minus point:
    - Unlike The Walking Dead, the choices that you made in the game doesn't really affect your storyline in an extreme way, which is why the options in the game isn't really that important. This game is not about an adventure, it's about solving a case. So if you are looking for a thrill of adventure in this game, don't.
    - I did mentioned it before on the plus point, that the story progress is slow. And yes, those five episodes has totally different level on intensity. Like Episode 3, it feels like a filler to me.
    The verdict:
    The Wolf Among Us is another great game from Telltale games, and i personally love it. But don't expect it to be similar to The Walking Dead, since it's not an adventure game, but kinda more like Sherlock Holmes kind of game. Uncovering the mysteries is the point of this game.
    And the visual level is beyond good, although you will still feel some technical issue like loading time and frame skip. Other than that, the game is good. What i want to say is, don't compare it to The Walking Dead.    … Expand

    It's mature and has plenty of adult themes, but it doesn't indulge in these things just for the sake of them. The darker content fits very well with the sleazy underworld it's showing to you, and the writing and acting are consistently excellent from start to finish. Mystery, black humour, sudden brutal violence, and a great cast of weird, slightly crazy characters makes this one of the most enjoyable worlds to dive into in recent years.

    You are Sheriff Bigby Wolf, in our world, New York. The fables try to keep regular citizens(Mundies) out by using glamours to appear normal. When a few heads start to roll in Fabletown it's up to Bigby to solve this dangerous mystery that will keep twisting. As for the gameplay, the mechanics are typical for Tellatale. They are QTE prompts but you are the choreographer of the fight scenes which is why I love The Wolf Among Us, as well as its well designed consequence system. If you have read Fables by DC Vertigo you would understand more but you still have a great story either way.    … Expand

    Great Telltale game with gripping story, superb writing and characters that are very interesting. Love the noir inpired setting of New York and the secret society of fables aspect. If youre a fan of post TWD Telltale then this is a must play whether youre a fan of the Fables comics or not.

    This game is flawless! I love the ambient, the cel shading, the art style in general. It's based on the comic book "Fables" (wich is very recommended by the community). The best part of this game is the tone wich surrounds classic characters like Snow White, the Big Bad Wolf, etc... The formula results in an interactive noir novel game with very good moments.

    One of the best Telltale games series ever in the typical Telltale look. The story is interesting and all the characters are very good written and act comprehensibly. But decisions you make, often don't feel important for the rest of the story.

    If there's one thing I've learned from playing a Telltale game, it's that there are people who love them and people who despise them. The enjoyment you get out of their games derives from two questions-do you like visual novels and can you deal with quick-time events? If your answer is yes, then you'll love not only this game, but every other Telltale game as well

    A magnificent script, with excellent characters and a very careful narrative.
    The ending is exalted.

    **5/5 stars**

    *GAMEPLAY*: Graphic adventure. It fits perfectly with everything, although I miss a little more exploration.

    *GRAPHICS*: Graphically it's simply Telltale brand. Artistically remarkable, although the city is quite unimaginative.

    *SOUND: Excellent dubbing (as always in Telltale) and a soundtrack that has its moments.
    The sound effects are correct.

    *INNOVATION: The Wolf Among Us presents the world of Fables, a reinvention of the classic children's stories turned into an adult plot. It's been a long time since I've seen something as curious and interesting as this work by Bill Willingham.
    As for the rest, it's the mark of the good Telltale.    … Expand

La historia es impecable, en ningún momento hay partes flojas y siempre te mantiene desde qué empiezas a jugar hasta qué te terminas el juego enganchado y con constante intriga en todos los episodios. La OST es muy buena, quizás algo cortita respecto a otros juegos, pero qué encaja a la perfección con la ambientación del juego. Su duración está bastante bien, yo tardé 11 horas en completarlo y de verdad qué merecen muchísimo la pena ya qué cómo digo, la historia es impecable y siempre os tendrá enganchados.

The choices you were making did have some impact on the story and how the world and it's characters react toward you but it didn't really change the overall experience that much, it was also an issue that most of the characters weren't that fleshed out which made it harder for you to like them or even care about them (the walking dead didn't have this issue and it was awesome because you actually kinda empathized with the the main character and the supporting cast). The game also had a couple of bugs but I enjoyed the overall story and the ''twist'' that they showed up in the end, I can say that it did made me at least a bit interested in the Fables comics which this was inspired from so I can say that this is a pretty alright game 8/10… Expand

    However, the only reason that I don't give a 10 for this game is the influences of choices in game.
    Telltale games are known for freedom of choices; So I was expecting something like Detroit Become Human. I was surprised when I found out the game is actually pretty linear. Like whatever you do, the result is the same. In another words, It was more like of a to-get-involved kind of choices, not to-make-your-own-story choices. This makes game unworthy to play second playthrough.
    In general, it's 100% worth playing because you don't only play the game, you live with it.

    There is nothing I can say too much for this game. I think the thoughts of me and everyone in general are the same. It was by far the best game of Telltale Games. If he continued, he would have stopped even The Walking Dead series, but instead they kept making stupid games and they eventually went down. I really want to see more with a different game company in the future.
