    This is such an underrated game! It is one of the best interactive story games I've ever played.

    The dialogue choices often don't make much of a difference but many of them do, along with some other major choices. The fighting can be pretty fun and is definitely a joy to watch.

    Overall, a pleasurable 9 hour experience, the whole way through. The ending was wrapped up nicely (no major plot holes) with a *slight* cliffhanger at the end, JUST enough to get you excited for Season 2.

    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!

    I went in to this game thinking that there was no way I would like this as much as the Walking Dead. I was Right! But only in one small facet - it wasn't as long as the Walking Dead.

    Review for Episodes 1-5 *NO SPOILERS*

    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!

    An amazing game?? well it has amazing history, characters,voice acting its really well putt togheter, on the other hand the people who may think this is and adventure game will be dissapointed because there are no puzzles to solve, only story and decisions to make and it is a good one from episode 1 to 5, if you can accept that then you will enjoy it.

    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.

The story was extremely wellI 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. 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.

    Phenomenal Game. The Story, graphics and gameplay are pretty good. My recommendation for all of Telltale Games (Walking Dead, Wolf Among Us, Season 2...etc) are to wait till all the episodes are out before you buy the game so you don't get irritated when their proposed timetable isn't met.

    The Wolf Among Us is amazing. So I give it a 9 or 10, probably a 10.

    I used to think TWDG was the best TellTale have done but TWAU is just...amazing! I am in love with some of the characters and the game really drags you in from the start. I don't mean to compare TWDG and TWAU but so far TWAU is slightly better than season 1 TWDG even though both are amazing. 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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."

    While Telltale Games has produced numerous remarkable titles, it's clear that "The Wolf Among Us" stands as a shining gem in their collection. 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 game has not only left a lasting impact on me but also solidified itself as a true masterpiece in the realm of interactive storytelling.

Ich möchte das Minecraft, TWD, Batman und Borderland´s Telltale Game jetzt nicht mehr missen, aber wenn Eigenproduktionen genau so gut bis besser sind, weil man sie auch noch gar nicht kennt dann würde ich lieber mehr von diesen haben wollen.

    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.

    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.
    I take these games more as watching story then playing game. Which is working for me quite okay.

    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.

    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.

    This is NOT a game for children! It might help some of us become better adults, however.

    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. The end of the game indicated the setting is from a series of graphic novels (not something I'm likely to read).

The end of the game indicated the setting is from a series of graphic novels (not something I'm likely to read). 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.

    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.

That alone is pretty much enough to sell it to me, and it delivers on the promise of dark, gritty twists on classic characters while also involving you deeply in the world around as it unveils itself right along with the mystery you're tracking.

    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. Telltale really knows how to capture a fictional setting well, so if you're into point and click adventures with emphasis on story over puzzles, you can't go wrong with this one.

    *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.

    Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
    I believe The Wolf Among Us took game industry to whole new level with its intriguing story.
    Unique visual and atmosphere, great music and voice acting make the game perfect. The game has great character development which makes them look more alive. I loved how the game kept its drama right to the end. A proper ending and so many unanswered questions!

    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.

    I am not too familiar with the fable comic series but for the first impression of this franchise, this game is amazing. The concept of fairy tale characters living in the modern-day is very interesting. Tell-Tale has made quite a niche game.

    독특하고 매력적인 세계관에서 하드보일드 탐정물 표현한건 역대급. 이러고 시즌2 안내놓는건 범죄. 행동에 따른 결과가 크진 않아도 분명 드러난다는점도 좋다.

    Avere la possibilità di fare delle scelte che cambieranno il corso della storia? I'm in! Uno dei giochi migliori di questo genere, dalla grafica che richiama il disegno del fumetto originale, alle storia non troppo complessa e godibile, fino ai personaggi ben caratterizzati.
    Creature sovrannaturali, combattimenti e tanta avventura, è questo TWAU.

    it's first time i played this genre. The game is more of a movie rather than a game. However it was extremely interesting, the plot of the story holds you in suspense all the time. The choices you make that affect the story are nice too (wish they had bigger impact though, giving 9 instead of 10 because of that). The graphics are a bit cartoony, but still very pleasant.

Разработчики выше головы прыгнули, передавая эмоции героев. ГГ прям как живой, умный детектив, но тоже может ошибаться, могут сдавать нервы, не всегда всё выходит гладко и передано это потрясающе. По сути игруля является приквелом комикса Fables. У разработчиков вообще хорошо получается передавать атмосферу первоисточников, если судить по борде и ходокам, волк не стал исключением. Однако, вселенная Fables настолько безгранична, что передать её суть одной историей невозможно физически, чем собственно этот проект и отличается от других творений студии. Фанаты интерактивного кинца, вам скорее всего зайдёт. Нравится нуарная атмосфера? Играй однозначно! Фанаты оригинального комикса, вам понравится! Любителей детективов сразу предупреждаю, игра является больше психологической драмой, чем самим детективом. Разработчики сделали больше упор на эмоции героев и их внутренние переживания. 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. А так, однозначно, игра достойна внимания!!! Expand

    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.

    Without a doubt, my favorite graphic adventure of telltale games that, although without being a big fan of these, I have to admit that the story keeps you stuck until the end. Recommended.

    one of the best stories I have ever played. this wonderful game is based on the fables comics. it does not spoil anything crucial to the comic, in fact this game seems to be an alternative universe. in any case the events of this game definitely take place before those of the comic. putting things simply, this game is what would happen if a realistic shrek universe ended up in hiding inone of the best stories I have ever played. this wonderful game is based on the fables comics. it does not spoil anything crucial to the comic, in fact this game seems to be an alternative universe. in any case the events of this game definitely take place before those of the comic. putting things simply, this game is what would happen if a realistic shrek universe ended up in hiding in our world, running from the armies of a conqueror. and the main character is like always-smoking wolverine.

    Atmosphere: the noire atmosphere is brilliant there. Music, characters, decorations and locations make me fell a pressure of such a gloomy, criminal, fantastic world.
    Animation: I'm really keen on Telltale's animation. It looks like oil paintings.
    Gameplay: there is nothing unusual in comparison with other interactive movies: QTE, a phrase choice in dialogues or choice of actions.

    story-wise, this game is great and the game play mechanics are simple, art design is really cool and filled with vibrant colors
    I totally recommend this game to anyone especially those who like telltale games
