In a world of enormous RPGs with seemingly endless side quests and huge maps, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a refreshing change of pace, and proves that sometimes, less is more. A great RPG doesn't necessarily need to be a 60-hour adventure; it just needs to convincingly drop you into another person's magboots. The Expanse does that and then some, forcing you to make difficult decisions that will haunt you long after you've finished playing.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a fun game that doesn’t stray from Telltale’s normal formula but is strong when viewed within that category. If you like the show or the books, you’ll get a kick out of it.

This game is really great for Telltale's reviving
You know some people may say blaa blah the old ones blah blah
But dude it's 2023 you don't have your ps2 anymore everything is upgraded the graphics the gameplays everything
The game having good graphic doesn't mean that developers focused on graphics because it has a great story too

The Expanse shines as an alternative to the sleek space-age dream of franchises such as Star Trek, with its scrappy, survival sci-fi setting pairing perfectly with the gritty art-style and choice-driven narrative of Telltale Games.
Telltale’s entry to The Expanse feels like an obvious move. A world rife with conflict, character and violence is reimagined through the snarky and laser-focused lens of Camina Drummer - and it’s brimming with life and excitement. This carefully spun narrative buries the arbitrary action gameplay, and is totally worth the few hours you’ll need spare to sink this game.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a return to form, though that form is almost out of style. Each of the five episodes takes an average of about two hours to complete if you’re hunting for all of the collectibles, so the amount of content is on the shorter end. But if you’re looking for solid writing and characters that fit well within The Expanse universe, this adventure is another chance to revisit the series and see Camina Drummer be a badass all over again. However, the dated mechanics and the game’s choice to be a prequel impair the effort.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a solid entry in the studio’s long-running series of narrative-driven games. The episodes look great, and Cara Gee’s performance as the main character is excellent, helping to recreate the feel of the television series even when the most of the regular characters from the show are absent. The game struggles to find engaging mechanics outside of its dialogue scenes, relying too heavily on quicktime events and mediocre movement challenges. But the story and choices you make work well enough that these are minor faults.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a short, unexciting, and slow narrative adventure, full of unlikable characters and repetitive gameplay. Despite a great performance from Cara Gee as Drummer and a few engaging player choices, it is a waste of space.
I love telltale but the expanse just wasn’t it. I heard it was developed by another studio so the drop in quality seems to make sense. I hope they kill it with the wolf among us 2 ️

I will give the current developers credit for the visuals of the game as well as certain aspects of the gameplay. I have always been a huge fan of The Telltale Games, it has become very obvious to me that the spark that gave life to the older games of Telltale is no more. It's very clear to me that the newer developers cared more about how the game looked then they did about creating an environment with both a compelling story as well as characters that you naturally gravitated towards.
These characters are so forgettable... Dull, that's the only word I can think of when I think about these characters in the story, The protagonist has this very strange monotone voice that gives you meaningless narration throughout your gameplay, and her colleagues that around her do not provide any sense of camaraderie, or any sense of belonging with the very minimal dialog options you have to interact with them.
I really hate to compare the new developers with the old, but I will never forget that first episode I played as Lee in The Walking Dead series when I ran into Clementine. Their interaction was so believable and genuine. It glued me in the moment I played it for the first time. Something is missing, I don't feel a connection between the characters and the protagonist.
I don't think these developers realize that the thing that drew us in so closely with the older games was literally the story itself, and how the characters interacted with each other. I am honestly kind of sad that this is all they have to bring to the table. A little bit of profanity doesn't bother me when I'm trying to indulge in a story, but it needs to fit with the circumstance. I feel like the writers for this dialog decided to drop F bombs needlessly just to fill empty space In between their gray storytelling.
