The Wolf Among Us

Once Upon a time, a place named Telltale Games, brought us a spectacular game, "The Wolf Among Us". It is filled with excitement, sadness and most of all, MYSTERY. This is by far my favourite telltale game alongside The Walking Dead and Tales from the Borderlands. It brings out emotions which can be displayed by the choices you make, either a full Paragon Bigby or Renegade Bigby, It's your choice, it gives you the chance to be the person you want to be, alongside memorable characters with EXTREMELY good chemistry. It is overall an AMAZING game.

Based on the comic books 'Fables', this game is a story based RPG where your choices have an effect on the rest of the story. Made by the same people that gave us the brilliant Walking Dead and Back to the Future games, this game is the same style as those, but has a little more action in it. The animation is spot on for the feel of the game, giving a touch of brightness to what is, at is heart, a very dark and gritty tale that is meant for the mature gamer.

The characters are well done and are a fresh take on classic fairy tale characters, almost like the television series 'Once upon a time'. I loved this games take on Georgie Porgie, and there are numerous little hints and nods to many of the well known characters that may not appear in the game.

All in all, the adult content makes this game a refreshing experience, and the episodic release means that there is no rush to play the game and you can play through it bit by bit making it last longer. I hope games like this continue to be made and that the level of quality is on par with this game.

The video game have a visual identity with the characters and the animation and it have some mysteries. The investigation is nice to follow along. Some choices are hard to make, it will clearly make you think twice sometimes. Clearly well made until the end who is like the "jugement dernier". Nice video game, i can clearly recommend it.

What a unique game. The Walking Dead was good, really good but for some reason I preferred this. It's edgy, fantastical and often darkly comical. Not to mention an insanely bad ass protagonist. The numerous twists and turns coil together to create a sense that you have no idea what is going on or who the killer is. Best of all, you get to play your way, be the Big bad wolf everyone knows you for or the good guy trying his damnedest to make up for past mistakes. How you shape him is all up to you. The only gripe I have is that it does not optimally function on Xbox360 consoles, even with a hard-drive. Even so, it is an amazing experience and a unique mystery that needs to be experienced at least once. Definite must-play.

One of the top tier games in the story-driven cinematic genre... The Wolf Among Us and The Darkness are the only two games that had such an impact on me that I dove into the source material, both of which originated in comic form. You will fly through these episodes in proper binge-style as you won't be able to handle not knowing what comes next. The world is alive and thriving with mystery and intrigue!
