About fucking time hope it's as good as the first

Hard to say if it even can be - the studio bankruptcy and reorganization means that the studio calling itself "Telltale" today isn't really the same studio that made the first game in terms of personnel and vision. And they've said they scrapped all the ideas they originally had for a Wolf Among Us sequel, so this one might feel more disconnected from the first and things like tone might be different.

That being said, it IS a game based on an outside source (the Fables comics), and supposedly they subcontracted out to a different studio to help (and that studio actually had a bunch of ex-Telltale employees), so maybe they can luck their way into a good game.

Then again, it's not like this would be the first sequel to a Telltale game to kind of stink even without all the extraneous bullshit - the second season of Batman was way worse than the first, and Minecraft: Story Mode season 2 wasn't as good as the first one either. And lots of people would say the same about the Walking Dead games. If anything, I'm not sure Telltale has ever managed a worthwhile sequel.

A least Wolf Among Us doesn't have the added problem that both Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones suffer from - ie, if they want to do a sequel to those, the fact that both franchises have since kind of shat the bed and people are way less interested in them now than they were years ago means there may be way fewer people willing to play the Telltale version. Fables was always kind of niche, and while the series is long over by this point, I feel like most Wolf Among Us fans never read the comics anyway.
