    Each morally ambiguous decision I made left me questioning whether I was the right person to be making them, but in the end, it was MY Bigby and MY story, and I can only thank Telltale Games for giving me the opportunity to tell such an awesome tale in my own way.

    Telltale Games puts to good use the Willingham's Fables in order to create a creepy and original place, where fairy tale creatures live aside from the glamour of the happy endings. A perfect noir thriller, and an interactive adventure that fans of the Californian studio will enjoy.

    Another piece of episodic excellence from Telltale, but it just falls away slightly toward the end. [Oct 2014, p.64]

This means more tough choices, top-notch writing, excellent licensed characters, and an intriguing morally gray world. The results are once again fantastic.

    It succeeds because once again this feels like your story. The often brutal and tough choices you have to make matter, and influence the story in unique ways. Bigby might be a character that's personality and convictions have already been established in other media, but I still felt like I was in control of him and was shaping him to be the type of person I wanted him to be. Thats incredibly impressive.

    It's an experience that's filled with unforgettable moments and a compelling word and story that's filled with awesome characters. As someone who had no previous experience with the comic books this ties into, this game has peaked my curiosity enough that I plan to dive into them in the future. Telltale's TWD follow up is excellent. An absolute must-play for those who loved TWD, and want to see what Telltale can do with a different universe.    … Expand

Much less like a regular action game and more like going through a story by making choices. Time and time again, you will feel that you have made a mistake with your choices, however eventually the story builds up based on how you played. Not a very long game, finished well within 7 hours however worth it. Also easy to earn your trophies (Gold and the Platinum ones too). All you need to do is complete the story. If you missed a trophy, easy to just play that chapter and make the selection to get your trophy.… Expand

No puzzles, no investigation, no cleverGameplay feels dumbed down to a linear walk with unskippable cutscenes, and QTEs (quicktime events). No puzzles, no investigation, no clever choices. It's a passive experience, with every option resulting in similar short retorts from the otherwise characteristic and memorable inhabitants of Fabletown.

    The game is well realised, well produced, well directed, well told. Well made. But it's a shallow core experience, and barely meets the standard for interactive entertainment.

    Conclusively, a game you can easily enjoy as good entertainment, but not a notable experience. I didn't learn anything from the story, and only the QTEs got me excited, for the wrong stressful reasons.

    Biggest takeaway for me was the easy Platinum trophy.    … Expand
