    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This episode of the epic series is very critical in finding important details about the Crooked Man, but was the most general and lacks key points that could be introduced to further the gameplay. I feel that this episode was simply an intro to the end of the game and didn't include enough to be its own episode. I also wasn't satisfied on how Beauty and Beast changed their personalities so quickly. Initially, I thought that Beauty was a kind, humble person that was quickly there to help. Once I saw the image of their rich and fancy apartment, I can't help but take them as spoiled and selfish. Also the choices weren't as critical because Bigby still got to visit both the Lucky Pawn and the Meat Place. This doesn't put pressure on the player and therefore causes less suspense in the game. This game overall is very well put together and detailed. It is very atmospheric and is very popular due to the fact that you can "Choose your own Adventure". This game is truly unique just like all of the "Tell Tale Games" productions. This episode sets the stage, for what should be, a very interesting finale!… Expand

    As usual, it's excellent. It basically starts wrapping up all the plot points to prepare for the final episode, which is fine with me. Not every episode needs a long badass fight or a substantial revelation. My only complaints are the usual lag in the 360 version and the sudden change in Beauty's and Beast's characters. They used to be so likeable, but now I'm having trouble seeing them asAs usual, it's excellent.

    All in all, it's a great episode. If you've liked this game up to this point, this episode probably won't disappoint you.    … Expand

    Up to this episode we have been trying to piece together what is actually going on within fable town. We were able to figure something's out but this episode reveals how unstable fable town has become. This episode starts to put the pieces of the puzzle together and helps give us greater insight into what makes fable town tick.

    Although there still seems to be some technical difficulties within the game, it does detract from how the end of this episode sets the finale of the series up very nicely...I can't wait!    … Expand

    The plot development in this episode is good, piecing it all together and ends with a truly great cliffhanger that will leave you craving the next one. The characters seem more fleshed out as well. The downside is that this episode suffers from some technical difficulties.

    The story here has been sublime throughout, but as a game The Wolf Among Us still feels remote. [Issue#114, p.84]

    Exposition-heavy, yet light on actual plot development, In Sheep’s Clothing is perhaps the weakest episode of The Wolf Among Us to date.
