    The best game from Telltale Games after the first season of The Walking Dead. Interesting detective, interesting knowledge, atmospheric music. Telltale music is always in order!

    Absolutely top-notch stuff. One of Telltale's better games easily. IMO, not quite as good as S1 of TWD, but that's the only other thing from Telltale that is even in conversation with The Wolf Among Us in terms of quality. Lack of puzzles and just overall "gameplay" was disappointing for me, though. Really the only fault I have with the game.

    Una de las mejores aventuras graficas de la historia. Artísticamente es para agarrar al dibujante y hacerle un pete. La historia, es una fabula que por cada capitulo la boca la tendrás mas abierta que el anterior. Cada personaje tiene ese no seque que al menos yo busco. Esa cosa siniestra me fascina. Lo jugaría una y mil veces mas. Me da mucha pena que el estudio se haya cerrado. Pero hace poco que se anuncio la parte 2 no puedo esperar para jugarlo.

From the very beginning, I found myself immersed in its intricate narrative, drawn into a world of intrigue and suspense that kept me eagerly playing. The characters are richly developed, each with their own complexities and hidden depths, making every decision I made feel genuinely impactful. The gameplay mechanics are flawlessly executed, seamlessly merging storytelling with player agency.

    As I navigated the choices and dilemmas presented in the game, I felt a profound sense of connection to the characters and their struggles. Every decision felt weighty, reminding me of the power of choice in shaping the outcome of the story. The way the game responds to these choices, tailoring the experience to my decisions, showcases the incredible craftsmanship behind "The Wolf Among Us."

Its ability to elicit strong emotions, keep players engaged, and offer a truly immersive experience is a testament to the artistry of game development.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing game with beautiful artwork and an amazing story.

    The Wolf Among Us is an amazing game that I enjoyed very much. It is another masterpiece from Telltale Games, so I knew that it was going to be fine at least, but when playing, it really impressed me yet again.

    You play as Bigby Wolf, a werewolf that is also the sheriff of Fabletown, a city filled with all sorts of magical and fairy tales creatures. Instead of the jolly and kid friendly concept of fairy tale, you now got a dark, grim atmosphere, full of crime, treason and drug abuse.

    There are many problems and incidents in the town lately and it is up to you and your partners Snow White and Ichabod Crane to solve the murders, crimes and mysteries in the game. Eventually, it is shown that the “Crooked Man” is the main villain in the game and that he is behind all the chaos and violence in the town. You eventually get to him and release your inner Werewolf. This scene was so epic, and I replayed it many times.

    Throughout your investigation, you make choices, ask questions and trying to put the puzzle together in order to progress. Choices, accusations and dialogue you choose, all have a great impact on the outcome of the game, just like the Walking Dead series.

    You also got some quick time events that are not required to progress but will affect the outcome of the story in the end. The Wolf Among Us is the only game in which the quick time events did not feel pointless, unlike many other games out there.

    The game is split up into five episodes, each with their unique story, but linked chronologically. Back in the day, you could buy and play the episodes separately, but in late 2014, the retail version came out, including all the five episodes.

    I loved all the episodes and every story just as much as the previous one. It kept me on edge, always wondering what would happen next. You are guessing where a certain villain will be, what will happen to a certain character in the game and are constantly questioning yourself: “Did I make the right decision back there?” The first time playing this game is a magical feeling that you can only experience once.

    The Wolf Among Us looks beautiful. The cell shading style works very well, especially because this game is based on the comic Fables. It is polished and detailed and the animations and facial expressions are just perfect. The characters really have emotions in their face, and it is this kind of games where you really bond with the characters.

    The music and sound are also perfect. In the background, violin music and grim themes are playing, enhancing your experience. The voice acting is excellent and many times, I forgot that I was playing a game and instead thought I was watching a good movie.

    The Wolf Among Us can be considered a point and click novel, and being so, the click controls, and quick time events are responsive, like they should be.

    The best aspect of this game is of course it’s story. It is so powerful and really takes you into a comic book and let you experience an epic journey. I really cared for the characters, was always curious what would happen next and applauded when I finished all the episodes. This game deserves all the love it can gets and the developers from Telltale Games can be proud of their work.

    I can only praise The Wolf Among us and would certainly recommend it to everyone.    … Expand
