Reviews

Episode 1: Faith - Metacritic: 85/100 (34 reviews)

"Telltale has once again delivered a well-written adventure, this time with an added dose of stylish noir presentation." - IGN (9/10)

"The Wolf Among Us deftly merges Walking Dead's moral quandaries with a noir murder mystery starring Fables' cast of fairy tale legends." - PC Gamer (9/10)

"While the gameplay is still second-rate compared to the story, Faith succeeds most because of its unpredictability. Even longtime Fables fans will be shocked by some of the revelations." - GameInformer (9/10)

"Cityscapes are cloaked in deep purple haze and long shadows, and droning minor-scale chords heave and sigh, suffocating you with their smoky nuances. No matter how this story unfolds, it's hard to imagine a happy ending clearing away the pervading darkness." - GameSpot (8/10)

I'm disspointed that there hasn't been more hype for this game. :/ The Walking Dead was one my favorite games last year, and the premise behind Wolf Among Us seems amazing (and I don't know a ton about Fables to begin with, though I imagine getting into the series because of this game).

I just finished Episode 1 and I'm certainly hungry for more. It has a few welcome improvements to TWD's formula (QTEs suck less in my opinion), and the presentation is spot-on. I'm holding off on my story reservations until later chapters, but so far it's good and not completely predictable.

Glad you are enjoyed the first episode. I think i am going to wait for the whole season to be out. I know the episodic nature works quite well as one ends up anticipating the release of the next chapter but at the moment i am quite busy in terms of gaming and otherwise.

Completely understandable. I still need to catch up on Civ V: Brave New World and The Swapper.
