    It's story was predictable by the end, but I enjoyed the character interactions and world the game is set in. Plus I really loved the neon noire the game goes for.

    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 Wolf Among US is a choose your adventure narrative game with a unique comic book style art style. It has a good sense of mystery at first but doesn't really go anywhere. I didn't really like any of characters either. 35 achievements can be had in about 8 hours.

    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

    Probably one of the best of Telltale creations on pair with Tale from Borderlands series. Immersive world and interesting characters made me always ask myself "What would Bigby do" when making in-game decisions.

    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

    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.

    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

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.

    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

    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

    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

    Despite most people giving Telltale's The Walking Dead the title of best Telltale game, I'm going to have to strongly disagree. The Wolf Among Us raises the bar for interactive storytelling because it takes a relatively unknown comic (at least to me at the time of playing the game) and brings it into a perfect gaming medium for it.
