Game is superb! Support? Not so much.

I was extremely excited for this new TellTale game, and had immense joy playing it!

....

I played this game over 4 months ago, right at it's release. No word from TellTale about further updates, nothing. They dropped this game so they could release their Walking Dead Game Season 2 as quickly as possible. This game had amazing potential, but because of the companies lackluster support and updates, I have to give it 3 stars.

For those that had to get the game through their website, we had to wait hours and hours after release before we were able to get the download, although those that got it through Steam were able to play immediately. Again, during that, we received no word from TellTale. And afterwards, they offered Steam codes of the game to those who ordered from their website. But for those of us that ordered from amazon or other places that LED us to the website for download and purchase, we got nothing. Even though we were in the same situation as the others.

The game is amazing. But I advise you to wait until all the episodes are out until you buy it, because then you won't be left with a cliffhanger for over 4 months.

A wonderful, unique game

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2015

Based on the, Fables, comic series by Bill Willingham comes, The Wolf Among Us, by Telltale Games.

It's the mid 1980s. The New York City night life is bright. And out of a taxi cab steps a man. Well, not exactly a man, but a wolf. His name is Bigby Wolf. And a long time ago he was known as, The Big Bad Wolf. But Bigby is now the sheriff of a low key community called, Fabletown. Residents of Fabletown are all fables from the classic stories of The Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson. The reason they live in New York now is because they were driven out of their homelands. One night, a mysterious girl is murdered and her head is left at Bigby's doorstep. And so the story begins...

There's 5 episodes in this game that feels like a TV series. Gameplay is based on dialog choices, quick time events, and some free roaming. And within the choices are 5 main ones that appear statistically at the end of each episode. Throughout the game, you can choose how to play Bigby. Is he a good guy trying to redeem himself or still The Big Bad Wolf? In the end, justice will still be served.

The Wolf Among Us is a unique and enjoyable game. It has a well written story, a cool 80s sounding soundtrack, and great humor and mystery elements. I highly recommend playing it.

Suprisingly good

I was a little unsure of this purchase to be honest, but good word of mouth and reviews convinced me to try this game and I am really glad I did! You play as sheriff Bigsbe, a sherif for a magical town set in New York. Your job is to keep law and order, naturally, though the twist is that the town is made up of magical inhabitants, fairy tale characters to be precise. You are formerly the 'Big Bad' wolf and you work with snow white. You get to meet the toad, as beauty, the beast as well as some lesser known fairy tale characters. The game is done in cartoon style, but done well. The voice acting is good and well synched to the characters lips. Also worth noting this game gives you a myriad of choices to make which will directly affect how characters react to you as well as the game itself. A very good game with about 2 - 2 1/2 hours of mission on the first episode with definite replayability options, though I like a lot of folks I reckon am waiting to replay the game until after seeing the entire story unfold

LOVED IT!

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014

I loved this game, I've always loved point & click adventures but this one took it to a new level for me. I haven't played The Walking Dead yet but I most likely will now. I loved the familiar point&click but the fast paced action scenes were a great addition! At first I thought the game was going to be slow paced but it quickly picked up. I really enjoyed having choices and yes, sometimes I had regrets.... but the best part is I can replay it and find out how things could have gone instead. All in all I loved this game. The characters are diverse and interesting, the atmosphere is dark. It definitely satisfied my craving for a good point & click adventure. Looking forward to Season 2!!

Exceeded my expectations as a game. I wish there were more variations on how it can end up. The story is pretty linear, and it feels like your choices only change the story at surface level. Choices don't really make much of a difference. The story is epic. I was hooked and couldn't put it down. I played all of the episodes in 1 sitting. I wish you could download other episodes while playing the current one.

Great Game - Poor Execution

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2014

Platform: PC DownloadVerified Purchase

I really love this game, however there is considerable wait time between episodes and the last episode was so short that I finished it in less than an hour. Waiting a month for less than an hours’ worth of game play is just not worth it to me. This concept of waiting on episodes is no different than paying money for something that’s not finished yet, so if I were you I would wait until this game is completely finished, all episodes are made, before you buy, of course that could mean a year are so :-(

Good game, mostly choices but it was an interesting introduction to the Fables and their world. I won't be checking out the comic book series, but I have enjoyed the game.

Some choices just lead to the same place, but you can change up the story by making new choices.
