The very influential testbed for ‘The Telltale Way’. A wonderful example of storytelling in games and in retrospect, remarkably accomplished. Its characters, and decision making ensure its a classic.
The Wolf Among Us is the best of midterm Telltale. Dark, funny and at times very clever - it’s sad we’ll never see more of it.
The seventh entry in the ‘Citizen Abel’ series of games, and probably my favourite. It’s very short (10-15 minutes) but absolutely worth it. I wish there were more games like Thirty Flights.
Proof that graphical fidelity are not required to tell a good story and have engaging characters. Good platforming puzzles too.
Transistor is a bold, beautiful masterpiece. Turn-based strategic combat which is fun and challenging punctuate an absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet story with typically great Supergiant dialog and VA.
A short, tragic, passionate and engaging masterpiece. The wartime stories are told eloquently and respectfully. Don’t be surprised if it hits you in hard in the feels.
If you’re into challenging platformers this is a must buy. At times the difficulty feels artificial, but overall it’s extremely solid. Prepare yourself for frustration if not rage.
