    The Wolf Among Us is a game that exceeds expectations, providing an intriguing, painful, and thought-provoking journey that everyone should experience at least once.

    The Wolf Among Us is a winner for its pacing, its character work, its story, and the manner in which it makes the player think without being overly heavy-handed about it.

    Cry Wolf isn’t without its problems, but it provides a satisfying conclusion to an episodic series that we feared would wrap inconclusively.

    Bigby Wolf is the perfect protagonist for this shocking Telltale adventure in the Fables universe, because of the convincing way you can mold him into a good or bad wolf. Too bad the game is lacking in the technical and gameplay department. [Aug 2014, p.63]

    Telltale struck gold with The Walking Dead, but it seems they merely struck bronze with a promising future in The Wolf Among Us. It has some wonderful characters and a lot of potential, but it fell apart as the season continued.

Yet again TT (Telltale) Games proves they know they're audience with another outstanding game, built on the graphic art style, the point-and-click adventure based game, featuring the harrowing decision based narrative you should be used to by now. The series contains a mass of interesting, conspiring, debauching characters from Belle & Beast to Captain Bluebeard. The game is an emotional rollercoaster as it does an exceptional job of making your choices feel like they matter and that your mind genuinely sways the tempo of the game through the time sensitive choices flung your way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was my favorite game for a very long time. It isn’t anymore but it still is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Nothing new from Telltale. They always make great games. The setting, soundtrack and characters are just incredible. It also has one of the most shocking ending sequences I’ve ever seen.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The idea and the storyline was great, I played it right through as it kept me wanting to know more and find out what happens next. The only thing making my score negative is the fact that very little, if not none of your decisions actually influences the outcome of the game. Yes, you get to decide ones fate at the end, but further than than I experienced linear gameplay, with the story basically forcing you into a direction in which your choices matter very little. I believe this could have been an excellent title if the story was more influenced by the players actions.… Expand

    Une formule bien connue éhontée que TTG nous ressert à l'envi, recyclée à l'infini au fil des licences qu'elle récupère à droite et à gauche pour en faire ses fameux "jeux-poubelle". Ici, une vague histoire d'assassinats dans une communauté de personnages de contes de fées, pauvres migrants planqués dans un quartier sordide du monde réel : ça nous en touche une sans faire bouger l'autre.

    Pseudo-jeu à épisodes en anglais sous-titré qui n'arrête pas de blablater ses conneries à dormir debout, The Wolf among us est aussi palpitant qu'une rediffusion d'un épisode de Navarro et aussi profond que la lecture du Télé7jours.    … Expand
