The Wolf Among Us is an easy game to recommend to almost everyone. It’s a great accomplishment of storytelling to be able to bring together characters like Snow White, The Big Bad Wolf, Mr. Toad and Grendel without being cheesy or silly. In fact the seriousness everything is handled with makes it that much more effective of a tale.
Peter Starr from Bit Cultures reviews Telltales Games' The Wolf Among Us Finale, Episode 5: Cry Wolf on the Xbox One.
"The finale of Telltale Games’ The Wolf Among Us was a satisfying and thrilling conclusion to an excellent first season, however held back by some serious slow-down in the opening scene. I know that the Telltale engine isn’t the most concrete, but typically the frame rate stutters aren’t so egregious so as to significantly detract from the experience."
Peter Starr from Bit Cultures writes:
The Wolf Among Us has been a great narrative experience so far. Phenomenal pacing, solid voice acting, and engaging dialogue options have made this my most enjoyable Telltale experience so far. It’s as disappointing as their other work in regards to how much your decisions affect the story’s outcomes, but it’s still an enjoyable story nonetheless. With the level of quality being consistent through the first four episodes, I can only imagine that there’s some awesome moments ahead in the season finale.
Episode 3 of Telltale’s The Wolf Among Us is as predictable as it is necessary, while cleverly structuring itself within a limited time frame. The gameplay and presentation remain the same, with a handful of investigation scenes interspersed throughout mainly dialogue, with a high-stakes QTE at its conclusion. The interesting twist this episode pulls, however, is in the way the player decides how Bigby’s investigation plays out.
