    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.

      They did a fantastic job with the Wolf Among Us. The comics have its moments but it didn’t get me as interested in the story and characters as the game did.
