A dramatic shift from setting of their previous title, The Wolf Among Us hoped to keep that same fire alive for the episodic story telling genre that Telltale had since solidified their position as king of. What we were given was a series that feels at home in video game format, and while not as powerful as The Walking Dead, is able to keep up that same level of writing and involving storytelling that made us love Telltale’s style.
Games have enormous untapped potential to tell new and compelling stories through interactivity. You won’t be stuck in a long, drawn-out cutscene in these games. These stories are told through player interaction.
Let me know when Tales from the Borderlands Season 2 comes out. Till then, meh.
Following the announcement of The Wolf Among Us 2, Epic Games is offering the first game for free. From today and until December 19th, PC gamers can visit the game’s EGS page and acquire their free copy.
Paul writes: "Telltale Games has a strong history of taking inspiration from graphic novels, with perhaps the most famous being their The Walking Dead series. However, back in 2014, they looked at another writer’s work, a gentleman by the name of Bill Willingham and his Fables series, creating The Wolf Among Us in the process."
This was honestly my least liked TellTale game post TWD, the first 2 episodes were amazing but the last 3 all very disappointing.
