    The game and its atmosphere manage to get you hooked pretty fast and you keep going until the end.

    I'd recommend it to anyone that is into these kind of games but afaic they could have done more.    … Expand

    Telltale's most successful game in my opinion. TWD's first and second seasons were better, but then it became very mediocre with the third and final season.

Wolf Among Us has serious potential, but it's being held in a cage by the wrong game company.… Expand

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."

    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.    … Expand

    That was a good one. Nice enough to make me interested in the Fables universe, and I think it was worth it just for that. Hope the sequel end up being even better!

    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.

    In The Wolf Among Us, you follow the story and use deductions to make better choices. This preserves its narrative flow, while still rewarding you for solving its mysteries.

    The best choice driven game I have ever played. Beautifully written with incredible story and characters. Choices don't have a huge impact overall but the game makes you so invested in the characters that they still feel impactful.

    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

    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.

    Very good story and interesting characters. Ofcourse, it comes with the usual TTG issues (choices not mattering, lacking gameplay, long loading times, bugs, etc.) but it more than makes up for it with the writing.

    На мой взгляд лучшая игра telltale за все время. Нуарный детектив в сеттинге волшебного города заселенного всеми известными персонажами сказок. Выборы все так же не особо влияют на сюжет но в любом случае игра восхитительна.На мой взгляд лучшая игра telltale за все время.

    Ich finde diese eigene Produktion so gut und besser als so manch Andere für die man Lizenzen benötigte. 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.

Ha.ving to read dialogue options and choose before characters finish talking was also an unnecessary annoyance.

    The Wolf Among Us is nice example of how comic book that became a game. Personally i still can't pick the best Telltale game but it goes between First TWD season and The Wolf Among Us. And both games are amazing.
