The Wolf among us is a genuine masterpiece. The theme music is such a vibe.
The walking dead season 1 and 2 are amazing. 3 not so much. 4 I haven’t played yet but heard good things about.
Batman is in my backlog, but I heard the second season especially is unexpectedly good.
I have most of these in my library, but still tempted to buy it for the final season of The Walking Dead and the second season of batman.
The expanse I know nothing about. Tales from monkey island seems decent.
Season 3 was pretty bad, everyone was so shiny! 4 is good so far. Art style is back and improved + the gameplay is way better (combat!)
I think they somehow added part of the style to the previous games too, if you wanted to replay them anyway 👀And you’re right about Wolf, if it were a tv show I’d never hit skip on the intro. Hopefully season 2 is still happening?
Edit: on the art -
“Graphic Black” art style brings Season 4’s enhanced visual style to all previous seasons. Also includes full dynamic lighting to episodes that previously did not receive this upgrade.
Walking Dead season 3 was weird because Clementine went from being a sweet and timid kid to being a shoot first ask question later, fuck everybody kind of person. She’s very hostile to the player character in 3. You don’t see any transformation as to why her personality changed so much. I kind of get it, she’s growing up into a teenager in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world. But then you start the 4th game and she’s much closer to who she was in the first 2 games. It’s hard to imagine anything she did in the 3rd game as being canon

Included
- The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series
There’s a lot of hours here, it has the 4 Seasons, 400 Days (a dlc), and The Walking Dead: Michonne. Seasons 1, 2, and 4 are great, give this a shot if you haven’t yet! I’m replaying it and it still stands up. - The Wolf Among Us
urban fantasy, nice and grim - The Expanse: A Telltale Series
- Tales of Monkey Island: Complete Season
- Batman - The Telltale Series
- Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series
Didn’t play the bottom 4, so not sure on the quality. Tales From the Borderlands is currently free with prime, too! Worth a playthrough
I’ve played Tales of Monkey Island. If you’ve played Telltale’s version of Sam and Max, it’s pretty much the same kind of take. Probably suffers quite a bit from the episodic format, and puzzles are a bit straightforward compared to classic monkey island games. Fans of the series mostly consider it a huge letdown.
Can’t say anything about the more serious parts of the Telltale catalogue, I’ve never played those, but for having played this, the 3 Sam & Max seasons and Back to the Future, there was certainly a Telltale formula that started annoying me after a while. They went less and less subtle about crafting their dialogues so they all lead to the same answer, they clearly wrote their stories with an objective to reuse character models and assets, and they still used that in-house engine that looked and controlled terribly, barely improved through the years.
Their story based games feel higher budget, the controls start out serviceable but get better.
I think Wolf is the best controlling of the games I’ve played, but I might change my mind after Season 4. S4 is definitely the best looking so farThanks for the info! Monkey Island might be fun for a rainy day, never played the originals
You should definitely check out the original Monkey Island games when you have a chance! 1 and 2 got well done remasters, and 3 onward don’t really need any remastering.

Thank you!
I loved the Walking Dead series
Same. Best Game Series and storytelling Telltale has ever done.
The Wolf Among Us is awesome. Batman was pretty good too. I’ve been wanting to play The Expanse.
Sweet!
I’ve never been able to get into them, but I’m definitely buying this as a gift for someone.
