The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith

Telltale Games’ second cutscene-based adventure game is a decent noir story, but the Android port suffers from overly simplified controls and button prompts.

So if you aske me to download the game as a whole, I say yes. Especially when it is your first time with the series. Either way, you won’t be disappointed by what you see on you (small) screen – I mean that figurative and litteraly. The game looks very good on you smartphone and tablet and – when you’re a first timer – you’ll be amazed by the story. So go and check it out.

There will always be who says that the story is too linear, or that there's too little action, but truth is that we can only ask for more episodes. Hardcore action gamers will dislike it for sure, but the rest of us mere mortals have here one of the most awesome games in history.

Overall, the Wolf Among Us did not live up to the expectations that The Walking Dead created, which is not surprising. However, what is surprising, is just how far below that mark it hit. It is not a terrible game, just a little better than okay game. Telltale should learn from their experience here that it is very obvious when corners have been cut and a game is rushed. Seeing what they did with the first episode of The Wolf Among Us tells me they definitely could have made something on the level of The Walking Dead.

Here’s the deal; if you love a good story and engaging audio/visuals, this game is perfect for you. At times, it may be a bit tedious and you may have a bit of trouble figuring out what to do next for a brief time, but that’s part of the game’s charm. Anyone who loves a good fairytale with a bit of darkness woven in would do well to get their hands on this game and its season pass.

Characters, story, dialogue, music; it’s all fantastic and prepares people for what looks to be a mysterious ride to the conclusion. For anyone who appreciates old fairytale characters and wants to see them in a brand-new light, this is a dark story that intrigues every step of the way and one I highly recommend checking out.
