    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 far

        Thanks 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.
