Telltale Games are making some of the best games i have played in a long time, they may not be long or have the graphics of the new gen consoles but thats one reason than makes then so good. The graphics used in there games are fantastic and add that extra special something to the games and this is why they are becoming successful. The wolf among us is just one of there (hopefully many) new games that give the gamer something to get excited about.
After playing the walking dead series one game I was very excited for the next projects to start to be released and these did not fail to disappoint. From the classic Movie spin-offs that include Back to the future (still playing) and Jurassic park (Again still Playing) to the second series of the walking dead and the game I am going to tell you about today, The wolfs among us.
The wolfs among us I had not seen anything about and was excited to start playing it and even just after episode one I am sure its not going to disappoint. The game follows the store of a sheriff called BigBy. You roam the foul streets of ‘80s-era New York as Bigby Wolf, a detective/policeman who’s employed to help keep things peaceful amongst New York’s population of Fables. Yes that is right BigBy is no other than the Big Bad Wolf, I know how awesome is that. If you have ever seen a TV show Called “once upon a time” you will feel very at home as you could say this is where the idea came from.
As the game starts out you are called to a disturbance to a run down flat that houses none other than the frog and the woodsman, and this is why you are hear, to sort out a disturbance caused by the woodsman knocking around some unknown women you do not recall but all becomes clear later. The game works just like the walking dead, you just point and click and interact with things laying around and the combat as well as the quick time evens work just as well. I am happy to see they have not changed to much in how the games play due to the fact that it works so you feel right at home with the controls.
The game takes a quick turn for the worst as the women (Faith also known as Donkey Skin Girl) you meet with the woodsman’s head is found on the stair case to your flat and it quickly turns into a murder puzzle game in witch you need to find clues as well as running into other trouble with some of the other fair tale characters inc, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the beast (from beauty and the beast) and red riding hood alone with others. The game takes yet a fuhrer bad turn as right at the end red riding hoods head is also waiting for you to return home, there is only one thing worse than a serial kill and thats one that kills fairytale’s.
the first episode might have only taken one and a half hours to complete but it was worth every second and with part two and three already out I cant wait to get them started while waiting for the last two parts. Up to know its been full of characters, back story’s and BIOS on the main ones you have meet on the way.
I have no fear that the remaining parts are going to be just as fun all filled packed of gaming goodness and at £18.99 for all five parts its a steal and i recommend anyone who liked the walking dead series to strongly think about investing in this yet another top class game by Telltale Games.
