Telltale Games are back with a new sci-fi based adventure game entitled, The Expanse: A Telltale Series.
2023 didn't see any new adventure games masterpieces being released. That said, there were more than a few noteworthy titles anyway.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "After several years, Telltale's royal return to the narrative adventure spotlight is an odd duck – but not in a bad way per se. Given the repertoire of more prominent blockbuster IPs to select from, it's neat to see The Expanse as Telltale's returning salvo. But this thawing out of cryo-sleep doesn't mean the rest of the creative world was standing still. Even when considering specific expectations for episodic adventures, other titles have done more in expanding certain elements, even if only by inches in the grand scheme. That doesn't disregard Telltale & Deck Nine's accomplishments – especially as a story that deepened my interest for this world altogether – but rather cements why it's just a conditional recommendation."
Telltale making long-winded slow games about long-winded slow series is a perfect fit. In space, no one can hear you yawn.
Games Asylum: "In July we looked at the first episode of The Expanse – the latest episodic series from veterans Telltale, with future episodes spaced a fortnight apart. With the series now concluded, it’s time to cast our critical eye over the whole thing and round up our thoughts. Minor spoilers are ahead, so skip to the final paragraph if you’re merely curious about how it compares to Telltale’s past works."
Wait, what!? The Expanse is getting a game? That's awesome.
One guy loses his head in a decompression accident in the tv series and they fill a whole ship with decapitated crewmembers. I know there is some thematic reason for it but, it just seems funny to me.
