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

    When it came to Telltale's style of game design, this is where they shined the most. But hopefully in the sequel there will be more of a impact on choices, saves carried over, GREAT story telling, and a continuation of the action scenes.

    There could be more quicktime event combats. It seems Telltale used them in the first episode to show innovations and it was all. Ok, there were some but not many.

    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

    A great game, there's a lot of action and the story is amazing, you feel like you're the protagonist of a movie.
    The only thing that killed it for me is that there isn't many finals, and the paths you take, doesn't change the story at all.

    Another great game from Telltale games.

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

    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.

    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

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

    Absolutely top-notch stuff. One of Telltale's better games easily.

    Great mature story and humour, but interactivity and conventional gameplay is quite limited. Its also quite short. It's half-way between an animated TV series and a “game”. As long as you are ok with that, you are in for a real treat.

    I need to say that the world and the main character are extremely entertaining, but there are so many flaws in the writing, no risks taken, the other characters don't have any depth and the moral grey area in the final part, falls flat because every outcome is the same in the end.    … Expand

    Good movie, mediocre game. Lacking in gameplay department even compared to The Walking Dead. I recommend to those who enjoyed TWD.

Esta ultima se centra solo en elecciones que aparentemente modifican la historia (he probado a cambiar algunas elecciones, y he de decir que los cambios en la historia son realmente mínimos) y con eventos de Quick Time Event (aparece una tecla y le tienes que dar repetidamente o antes de que desaparezca...).

    Respecto a la historia, solo decir que es una revisión adulta de las fabulas para niños, las cuales han tenido que emigrar de su lugar natal al mundo terrenal, y se han establecido en un barrio de New York llamado Fabletown. Nosotros encarnamos a Bigby Wolf, el lobo que normalmente es el malo en todas las fabulas, ha dejado su pasado atrás y ahora trabaja como Sheriff para proteger a todas las fabulas que habitan el barrio. Al comienzo, hay un asesinato, y es ahí cuando toda la historia se desencadena.

    Añadir que esta completamente en ingles (aunque puedes encontrar traducción al Español).

    Dicho esto, si lo que buscas es una historia policíaca que te mantiene enganchado de principio a final y te importa poco que carezca de jugabilidad, este es tu juego.    … Expand

    W gruncie rzeczy moją przygodę z The Wolf Among Us uważam za bardzo udaną. Poznani podczas gry bohaterowie są bardzo zróżnicowani i zapadają w pamięć. Sam wątek fabularny jest również dość dobrze poprowadzony i nie pozwala się nudzić.

Poznani podczas gry bohaterowie są bardzo zróżnicowani i zapadają w pamięć. Sam wątek fabularny jest również dość dobrze poprowadzony i nie pozwala się nudzić. Mógłbym trochę pomarudzić odnośnie długości kolejnych epizodów (piąty przeszedłem w godzinę, a wszystkie w sumie w około 6 i pół), samo zakończenie pozostawia również pewien niedosyt… Największym jednak problemem tego tytułu jest wspomniany na początku recenzji fakt - ta gra praktycznie przechodzi się sama, jest niczym interaktywny film, w którym mamy jedynie wpływ na teksty wypowiadane przez głównego bohatera. Czy to jednak wada? Rzecz jasna decyduje to o dalszym rozwoju fabuły, jednak zdecydowanie brakuje tutaj większej interakcji z otoczeniem (czegoś więcej niż szybkie naciskanie określonych klawiszy i klikanie na widoczne przed nami przedmioty). Jestem więc jak tytułowy bohater - rozdarty między dobrymi i złymi stronami tej produkcji. Zdecydowanie jest to gra, którą zapamiętam na dłużej, jednak bardziej w kontekście ciekawej fabuły, niż samej rozgrywki.

    Plusy:
    + wciągająca i emocjonująca historia
    + postacie (szczególnie główny bohater)
    + fabuła i wybory moralne
    + ścieżka dźwiękowa
    + baśniowy świat przedstawiony z nieco innej perspektywy

    Minusy:
    – wtórne elementy rozgrywki
    – każdy kolejny epizod był coraz krótszy
    – gra przechodzi się praktycznie sama
    – to już bardziej interaktywny serial niż gra

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With a start that gets you hooked and some interesting twists along the road, the story is good but not without its flaws (and disappointing ending). Telltale has had this problem before, but different routes will still lead to the same beats/endings (i.e. Toad). This game is definitely a lot of fun if you enjoy Telltale or story-driven games in general, but it's far from my favorite in the genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With The Wolf Among Us, I had very high expectations. A production of Telltale Games, one of my favorite game publishers (and based in my spiritual home of Marin County, California), the game uses a similar engine and format as The Walking Dead, Season One, one of the best games of recent years. It has a noir setting; draws on the smart comic series, Fables; features similarly breathtaking visuals as The Walking Dead; and stars many of the same excellent voice actors. My mental narrative was an exciting one. It foresaw The Wolf Among Us as a brilliant riff on Western fairy tales and urban legends, holding the Magic Mirror up to these classics and showing us their dark undercurrents.

    Expectations can be fatal, however, to the success of a game. The writers behind The Wolf Among Us failed to pull together a coherent story, let alone one as smart and caustically insightful as The Walking Dead.

    Up through Season Five, I was quite deeply engaged in the story. My favorite character (other than our hot hero, Bigby Wolf) couldn't be any other than the morally demanding, politically engaged, strong female character of Snow White. In some ways, I consider her one of the best developed characters in video gaming of recent years. She takes charge, but vocalizes her self-doubts; she holds firm to principles of justice in the face of exceptions that have proved the rule for too long in Fabletown. Her back-and-forth with Bigby is compelling, and though predictable her relationship with him satisfyingly deepens over the episodes.

    The climax of the game, though--apparently meant to be a dramatic and epic fight between Bigby and the villain's henchwoman, Bloody Mary--nearly drove me to laughter. Suspension of disbelief may seem strained in a game where pigs complain and moan between draws on their cigarettes, but it wasn't until this climax that I felt the boundary had been broken. This silly turn-of-events made me realize that I had crushed on Snow White and Bigby Wolf so much that I no longer really cared what was going on in the narrative. For an intentionally story-driven game, this isn't a good thing. It not only failed to turn the critical eye on literature that I wanted, but it collapsed inward on its shoddy narrative. Not even the strength of its voice acting, graphics, or gameplay, in my view, can balance out the game's inability to make good on its reason for being: to provide a rich interactive story. My expectations far exceeded what The Wolf Among Us became. As a result, it seems little more than glamour on a pig.

    The magic of this fairy tale thus broken, I sit disappointed. I would recommend The Wolf Among Us for fans of Telltale, of noir, and of interactive stories. But only just. I wish this weren't the case, that it had been as masterfully developed as The Walking Dead. But there lies the problem: The Wolf Among Us will always stand out in my mind as the weaker counterpart to an amazing game.    … Expand

    Typical Telltale game, with typical plot for thriller that try to look like detective.

That make me think that game is weak for detective genre.

The first episode came with such high hopes and promises for the series and left us the fans wanting more. Three months has gone by and not a word on Episode 2 or so much as an ETA from Telltale Games. The only thing that TTG has said was that there would be an ETA on episode 2 after the holidays. They have not so much as posted anywhere online in over a month and that has left a lot of fans with souring regret in their mouths. I understand delays and wanting to put out a polished game to the fans but when the game is sold as episodes and is meant to be released every couple of months, it would be beneficial for the dev to keep in contact with the fans. Game developers need to understand that the fans make the game a success or a failure. No word from them means they could care less about the game and is making the rest of us would be fans falling into the same mindset. They have our money and that seems to be what TTG cares about the most.… Expand
