This is more of a confession and cautionary tale than it is a review.

The Wolf Among Us has been sitting unplayed in my library for over 7 years. Why? No idea. I very much enjoyed Telltales' Walking Dead games, but I guess there always was something newer, something flashier waiting in my library when it came to picking the next game.

The Wolf Among Us is neither new nor flashy. Rather, it is a timeless masterpiece.
Excellent storytelling with a gripping plot. Believable characters that you get invested in and care for. A distinct and beautiful art style that holds up very well after all those years and helps transport that noir feel.

If you are deciding whether or not to buy it - by this time you know what to do by the sea of blue thumbs-up.
If the game is already sitting in your massive backlog though - don't be like me. Don't scroll past it for the umpteenth time. Break the cycle. Install it, play it, then come back, leave a review and get someone else to play this gem of a game.

One of my new favorites. Can't believe I'd never heard of it before.
