    The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a phenomenal addition to this much-loved franchise. With excellent acting and some fantastic plot twists, this will keep you entertained throughout. Furthermore, it has plenty of replay value. My only complaint is that each of the chapters should have been longer.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a fantastic companion piece to The Expanse show, telling a prequel story with so many weighty decisions that include the lives of various crew members is “classic” Telltale. Even when players make a seemingly good choice you can’t help but think about what sort of negative connotations its going to yield later down the road. I enjoyed virtually every moment of The Expanse, this is Telltalle at their very best anyone who is a fan of their past work shouldn’t miss this series.

    Telltale returns with an adventure worthy of its style, modernized in every aspect. If you liked them before, you will like it now and if you are a fan of the series, it is an absolutely essential game for you.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a carefully curated product that stays true to the TV series. Cara Gee's performance is sensational and the supporting characters are exquisitely written. However, the narrative twists and turns are predictable and the plot uneven in pace. Paradoxically, it might appeal more to those who have never seen the tv show.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series may be a satisfying experience for die-hard fans of the series who want to try a game based on that universe, but it is unlikely to appeal to a wider audience.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series feels like a fairly decent return to form for Telltale Games after its temporary closure. As a fan of The Expanse, I can attest that this Telltale series represents the show, and the character of Camina Drummer in particular, very authentically, and it was a joy to return to that setting and explore it from a different perspective. Despite those positives as a fan, the series also suffers from feeling especially short, linear and low-stakes. While The Expanse: A Telltale Series certainly has its high points, diehard fans of The Expanse or Telltale Games’ previous output are likely the only ones who would get much out of the experience.
