    A tightly defined roller coaster ride toward the finale, but along that ride, meaningful choices define Bigby Wolf and craft interactive storytelling at its finest.

    The Wolf Among Us: Episode 4 - A Sheep’s Clothing may feel a little flat due to a lack of compelling content, but we’ll have to wait a couple of months to find out if the groundwork laid here pays off.

    In Sheep's Clothing ties together loose ends and answers a lot of questions. This episode is more a movie than it is game, but entertained us nonetheless. However, there are so many things obvious now - story-wise - that you wonder what else is coming up in the series.

    In large part, the ultimate success of The Wolf Among Us rests on how well Telltale handles Episode 5.

    This short ep is as close as we've come to filler. [Aug 2014, p.91]

There were a ton of big events and plot reveals, and it all ended on a shocking conclusion. Thankfully though this episode does still manage to impress. Granted the scale of events is not as big as the ones in episode 3, but even the littler moments here are still highly enjoyable. As always the choices you are going to make feel important, and will undoubtedly have big effects on the final episode. Managing relationships with these characters and influencing their opinions of Bigby kepy me invested, and the writing is just as fantastic as ever. The only real issue with it is it's abrupt ending. I get why they ended it the way they did, but Telltale could have made it feel smoother. Overall though it's a minor issue in what is another fantastic entry in the story. My total score for this episode is a 9.1/10=Amazing.… Full Review »

I see the negatives, and I agree that this episode was a little shorter, and had fewer emotional or intense dialogue choices, but this episode played with a good theme that I really enjoyed and made bigby's character feel more human than ever, friendship. this episode touched back on the characters that truly seem to understand bigby and like him for who he is, such as Collin, and I'm thinking even Merissa. I really liked that element to this episode. I also like that they really focused on brining all the pieces of the plot together which I think the game needed. If they had to focus on plot this time around instead of dialogue choices, that's totally fine with me and I enjoyed this episode for that. I do strongly agree that the episode could have been another half an hour longer or so… Full Review »
