8/10 feels fair here

Solid, enjoyable story with some standout moments but not an entirely impactful plot

9

Possibly the best Telltale!

7/10

Only scratches the surface of how great the comics are, but that's neither here nor there. Like all Telltale games it has a serious problem with making your choices matter, and unlike The Walking Dead it lacks the benefit of having baked-in nihilism. What it does have though is an incredibly seedy atmosphere, with characters that are extremely charismatic, and examines both poverty and immigration in a creatively unique way (well, as lifted from the comic source at least). This does at least give some depth to your specific Bigby, and the main storyline is well thought out with a compelling mystery. It is enjoyable, but it doesn't live up to its full potential.

The 2nd-best Telltale. Nails the atmosphere.

9/10

Awesome story. Arguably better than Book 1 of the comics (which shares a number of structural similarities)

Nominate Zero Time Dilemma

Much better than the comics it's based on.

I had fun playing it, but it didn't really stick with me. The only thing I really remember is killing the fuck out of Tweedle Dum.

Oh I forgot to bump this.

8/10, seconding what Snake said p much. I don't remember the intricacies of the plot but the atmosphere was terrific, it's the main part of why I enjoy it so much more than other Telltale games.
