I really dig the Telltale formula. These games are really able to set a tone / mood and give you a great new world to escape to. I actually like the linearity, as it allows me to turn of my head and just be swept away in the story.
My favorites are The Wolf Among Us and The Walking Dead, both are such incredibly atmospheric masterpieces. In both cases the music is astonishing too!
Tales From The Borderlands might be the funniest game I’ve ever played. It came at the exact right moment in Telltale’s run: a lot of tropes in their games were already established, giving them an ideal playing ground to subvert expectations and joke at their own expense.
I’ve heard decent things about their Batman games and still need to play the final season of The Walking Dead.
I really hope The Wolf Among Us 2 delivers and that the new team is able to survive and continue making these amazing experiences.
I love Telltale’s stuff, but they’re a bit hit or miss for me. I really liked The Wolf Among Us and Tales from the Borderlands, but really didn’t care for The Walking Dead sequels and Batman. A lot of companies tried to replicate what they had but they never had writing as good.
That said, Telltale really needed some alternate endings. There’s only so much “X will remember this” I can read before I realize how little my actions matter.
I’m sadly not optimistic that The Wolf Among Us 2 is ever coming out. They laid off most of their staff half a year ago.
I have Tales from the Borderlands and Poker Night in my library, but I just can’t bring myself to play them. Knowing they’re just basically limping along really makes me not want to get invested in characters I know probably won’t get the resolution they deserve.
Tales from the Borderlands is a finished story, and it’s amazing! Please at least try the first episode, it has some of my fondest and over the top gaming memories!
Okie dokie. After I “finish” Satisfactory and Vampire Survivors.
I adore the walking dead games, they totally spoiled the TV show for me as the characters were soo much better. Lee and Clem at the end of the first game was such an emotional gut punch, one of the few times a game made me cry.
Lee and Clem had such a great story, nothing else I played in the series even came close. I’d even go so far to say that it wins over most other kid/dad duos in games.
The list (for people like me who don’t always remember which company made the games we play) :

Turns out, I haven’t played any of their games yet.
Tales from the Borderlands is the best Borderlands game, and it’s a shame that they even screwed that game’s characters up in Borderlands 3
