    Walking Dead did not get me as didn’t the Borderlands one. But Telltale’s Batman and ESPECIALLY Wolf Among Us are great.

    I guess it comes down to the writing quality.

      Telltales Batman is on my TODO list, gotta get on that. IMO the first TT Borderlands was fairly fun, haven’t touched the second season.

      It’s been several years since I played LiS, so the details of the game are a bit hazy. I recall it feeling bit lame on the beginning, but it did ramp up quite a bit towards the end. The beginning was (mostly) some school drama, like some girls acting like absolute brats and dealing with that.

      The first episode is free on steam, btw. If you’re on the fence, try it out before purchase.

          You‘d get the gist of it. It‘s a classic. If you wouldn’t get on with the vibe of the first episode, ramping it up won’t be much help.

          I honestly can’t remember where the episode ended, as it has been several years since I played it. Sorry :/

          It does have the bratty schoolgirls being bratty, but it isn’t the entire episode.

      Writing quality and general theme. Among those four titles, you’ve got zombie apocalypse, space western, Batman, and an urban fantasy retelling of fairy tales. Taking Borderlands for example, if nothing about the Borderlands franchise interests a player, it’s unlikely the Telltale one will either. It’s not impossible, but I wouldn’t put money on the odds.

        I came at it as a Borderlands virgin, but it struck me really as poorly written compared to the other titles, almost as much as their Monkey Island and Sam and Max titles (both franchises I love otherwise).
