Roger from Codec Moments writes :"When it comes to fairy tales, more often than not the story is dark and deep in plot and is shrouded in heroism and happy endings. Fables, a comic book series written by Bill Willingham, knows all too well that fairy tales tend to be based on adult themes, be they death, consequences or evil villains. The writer of Fables brought that side of childhood fairy tales to the forefront of his stories. The Wolf Among Us, developed by Telltale Games is an adaptation of the Fables universe brought for the first time to video game format."

HG: "Comedy and drama seem to exist on opposite ends of the narrative spectrum. Often times, purposely injecting humor into a dramatic tale, or vise versa, feels inorganic and forced. The most talented writers find a way to teeter along the proverbial fence separating the two extremes, masterfully blending suspense and absurdity. In recent years, Telltale Games has shown us that it has the capability of penning spectacular dramatic stories, as The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us consistently keep players on the edges of their seats. With Tales from the Borderlands first episode Zer0 Sum, a series set in the Borderlands universe that actually requires no investment in the original shooters, the heralded narrative development studio has shown that their writing chops extend far further than mere drama.

Hey Poor Player's Francis DiPersio writes- When Tales from the Borderlands was first announced it was easy to feel a bit skeptical as to whether or not Telltale Games could deliver as far as spinning a yarn as grand as The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us. Dont get me wrong; while the Borderlands titles have always featured some enjoyable writing, the narrative itself is usually buried under mountains of bullet-riddled bodies and shimmering loot. In the dangerous, bandit-filled wastelands of Pandora, the story has always taken backseat to wholesale destruction, the pursuit of bigger, badder guns and even bigger, badder psychopaths to blast into mountains of twitching meat.

Telltale has made itself quite the reputation for a certain type of game thanks to The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. With the release of Tales from the Borderlands the company has improved upon its own reputation in a big way. With the announcement of this particular title, there have been some who wondered what could be done when talking about taking a different approach to an already rich video game world. It turns out that Pandora and its inhabitants were never filled out quite as well or quite as completely as they were with Tales from the Borderlands.

SP: "Telltale Games was mostly known for making old-school point-and-click adventure games in franchises like Sam Max a few years ago, but with the debut of The Walking Dead, the developer has shown that it can not only adapt the old genre's mechanics to tell a novel interactive story, but it can also work really well within established universes, such as the one made by the actual "Walking Dead" comics. Afterwards, the studio rolled out The Walking Dead Season 2, as well as The Wolf Among Us, an adventure experience based on the popular "Fables" comic book series."
