The Wolf Among Us ist ein klassisches Point-and-Klick-Adventure mit typischer Telltale-Entscheidungslogik. Im Gegensatz zu „The Walking Dead“ ist das Setting erfrischend realistisch, spielt sich die Geschichte doch im New York des Jahres 1986 ab und nicht in der Postapokalypse. Der einzige Twist: Fabelwesen existieren! Das grafisch an seiner Comic-Vorlage orientierte Spiel überzeugt mit interessanten Charakteren, schnittigen Dialogen und unerwarteten Wendungen. Das Genre „Hard-Boiled Detective“ harmoniert dabei hervorragend mit den Spielmechaniken des Point-and-Klick. Auch verzichtete Telltale hier auf die zähen Mini-Suchspiele der TWD-Reihe – danke!
Einziger Nachteil sind wohl die teilweise fragwürdigen Antworten von Protagonist Bigby Wolf, die sich nicht immer mit der gewählten Antwortoption decken und häufig in eine gänzlich andere Richtung führen. Auch merkt man schnell, dass viele Entscheidungen keinen gravierenden Einfluss auf die Geschichte nehmen – das hat mir in „Tales from the Borderlands“ deutlich besser gefallen. Auch über die Sinnhaftigkeit des Endes lässt sich streiten (Deus Ex Machina?).
Fazit: In meinen Augen ein Höhepunkt des Telltale-Oeuvres, welcher Fantasy und Crime gekonnt vereint.

In your travels you meet all kind of favorite characters from our childhood fables. Snow White, Ichabod Crane, Beauty and the Beast, and many more. The difference in these fables is that they are thrust into a very adult world that contains murder, prostitutes, and bar fights.
While the entire storyline was very loosely tied together (you'll get the pun when you play the game), the way it is told and the narrative of the entire gameplay is fantastic and fun. This is a choose your own adventure game from Telltale Games which pretty much means you can control the conversation but the overall outcomes are never all that different except for a few instances.
The graphics were great for this, the voice overs were perfect, and the sounds and soundtrack fit the game perfectly. Definitely one game you cannot miss from Telltale Games. I'd even say it's better than the Walking Dead series.

In fact, the only bit i didnt really care for was the quick reaction fights where you have to hit the correct button quickly or get beaten up/repeat the fight- this was because i was using a playstation controler but the buttons it was telling me to press where x-box controller buttons, so it was just a bit to confusing for my brain alot of the time (why did Microsoft choose to have an 'X' button but put it in a different place anyway!?! haha). Anyway my minor instinctual button pressing issues aside, its a great experience. Yes i know that the majority of your choices as to what you say does not make any long term difference but it just makes the whole experience so much more immersive and involving than just reading a comic/watching a film.
Great story and well worth the £12-ish i paid for it.

- I loved the mature version of fable characters and i loved how they used these characters' features in the story to create more diversity.
- Choices do matter in the game and some of the choices are hard to choose.
- Story gets more and more interesting each episode.
- It is an entertaining game with loveable characters and it's a must play imo.
Yeah you should try this game!
PS: Still waiting for the 2nd game...

At the start a lot of characters get introduced at once so it's quite confusing trying to remember who is who, but you will get to know them fast

VERDICT:
Most reviews are saying this is on par with the Walking Dead, i'd have to disagree. I wasn't attached to the characters and didn't really mind who I was putting at risk, maybe it was because I was so dedicated to find the killer which for me was the whole point of the season, where as for the Walking Dead it was the matter of survival and living with people who are in the same boat as you.
That being said, this is still a fantastic game and should be played for the story and for some of the decisions. I did stumble across some bugs where I had to restart the game but nothing too serious since the save system was reliable. It's the second best TellTale game I've played to date and there should definitely be a sequel due to how things ended, it's a shame TellTale is out of business.
Total Score = 94/100.

GAMEPLAY:
The Wolf Among Us is a graphic adventure game, played from a third-person perspective. The player controls protagonist Bigby Wolf, who must investigate the murder of a woman. Throughout the game, the player explores various three-dimensional environments, such as apartment buildings and a bar. The player may also talk with non-player characters, and see the conversations presented in the form of dialogue trees.
The dialogue options chosen during conversations would either have a positive or negative effect on how other characters view Bigby, and their perceptions would influence future events in the story. Some scenes are more action-oriented, forcing the player to respond to a series of quick time event (QTE) prompts. The player is not required to complete every QTE prompt, and skipping certain prompts may affect future events in the story.

At every moment, I was drawn into the game's world and its very fascinating characters; unraveling the crimes and intrigue; constantly making decisions that impacted what was happening; and feeling like I was an old film noir detective dealing with a world-shattering mystery.
Definitely pick up this game!

I also feel like your decisions have a much bigger impact on your experience than Telltale's other games. Granted, it essentially ends the same regardless of what you do, with one big decision at the end, but there seem to be more branching paths. The biggest difference is in choosing what locations to sleuth out. You might have three places to investigate and only enough time to investigate two. Or you have to investigate locations A and B, but depending on where you choose to go first, things will play out very differently. Get there early, maybe you can catch a character that otherwise would have escaped. Get there late, maybe you missed an opportunity to save a life. It adds more replayability beyond, like, being nice during one playthrough and being a d!ckwad during the next.
Such a great game

The story is simple, at least as fairy tale murder mysteries go. See, there hasn’t been a murder in Fabletown in years, but when Bigby Wolf discovers the gory remnant of such a killing on his front step, it’s time to start investigating with the help of his sometimes-partner, sometimes-adversary Snow White. Of course, there are political considerations with the current acting mayor trying to keep his citizens from rioting, and there are other characters (some original to the game) lurking in the shadows, interested in this murder for their own reasons. The killing sets up the five-episode story arc that rapidly takes a couple sharp turns—and even asks you, in a recorded moment of choice, who your primary suspect is near the end of the episode.
There are a number of “battle sequences” that are high-adrenaline, involving a series of quick time events (emphasis on the quick). These battles (sometimes they are pure fights, sometimes pursuits) occur through quick directional keystrokes, plus the occasional single-button-mashing and a semi-precise mouse click thrown in here and there. They are longer and more varied than any such sequence in The Walking Dead and feel more essential to the narrative.
So much of the focus will be, and should be, on the storytelling, but even a compelling story is made better with good graphics and sound, and in these areas Telltale excels as much as ever. The cel-shaded world of Fabletown, New York is brightly colored and heavily stylized in a comic book fashion. The animation is generally good—I love the way the character shadows look, even if they don’t actually have any relevance to where the light source is—but even if it's not technically impressive, the game is always enjoyable to look at with vibrant character models and the lively world they inhabit, where all the interiors of apartments, bars, and offices are full of details that make them really feel lived in. A conversation-driven game must also have believable facial expressions, and as much for the primary human characters as for the alcoholic pig and the disagreeable toad, Telltale nails the match between visible expression and dialogue emotion. The voice acting is truly top-notch; some of the best to be found in modern gaming, with the script so well executed that I legitimately laughed out loud at the dark humor multiple times—something I almost never do while playing a game. It’s not always easy, for some reason, for game designers to execute concepts like character interruption, but the timing and delivery are flawless here. The always reliable Jared Emerson-Johnson again scores the episode with just the right understated mood music, never forcing the soundtrack into an unnecessary point of focus.
This game is peculiarly compelling while being deviously humorous, simultaneously bright and gritty, and always deliriously entertaining.
I loved looking at it, exploring it, and living in this bizarrely imaginative world of Fabletown.

Telltale games are mostly story & narrative driven and low on game mechanics. However, if you are a fan of storytelling medium & atmospheric soundtrack, this one's a definite great pick. And watch for some twists and surprises. :)
10/10
Edit : Telltale games post revival are planning for a sequel to the story as well. Eagerly waiting.
