The Wolf Among Us: Episode 1 - Faith

Telltale has once again delivered a well-written adventure, this time with an added dose of stylish noir presentation. Faith begins Sheriff Bigby's adventure with an introduction that’s funny, brutal, and mysterious in the best possible ways. If this inaugural episode of The Wolf Among Us is any indication of the rest of the season, then Telltale's latest adventure game is set to provide an adventure every bit as memorable as Lee and Clementine's.

The Wolf Among Us is incredible, no two ways about it. Brilliant writing, brutal action, and tender moments come together and culminate in a masterful way. Throughout its two-hour experience, The Wolf Among Us had me captivated, locked in place and completely immersed in Bigby's world. Although only one episode has been released so far, the potential shown by The Wolf Among Us is exciting, and enticing to say the least. Faith  was the perfect way to start a series which will span over five episodes, and Telltale have left me thirsty for more.

Marred only by an engine that’s really starting to show its age, The Wolf Among Us would’ve been interesting enough as a straight up crime thriller, but its literary basis makes it a completely different beast. With a story that’s as disturbing and shocking as it is gripping, Telltale Games’ first episode ends on such a cliff-hanger that we may need to go and buy the anthology of comics to tide us over until episode two.
