“Short, but extremely well written. I played the whole thing till the end in a 6 hour session, in one sitting. Maybe the best Telltale game so far.”
“I have to say this is not the best Telltale game I’ve played, and I also hadn’t watched the series/books it is based on before playing it so i might have miss some of the big picture. Still, I enjoyed the experience…”

“A pretty fun game in the telltale formula It is much more enjoyable is you read the books or saw the show”
“if you are a big The Expanse fan then this game is a treat. Drummer was always one of my favorite characters in both the series and the books so getting to be her with the voice/image of Cara Gee is pretty cool. I've…”
“Played the on the SteamDeck without changing settings and it ran perfectly just one part dropped a few frames for a second but that was during a cutscene. As a fan of the sci-fi show I looked forward to seeing what they…”

“A bite-sized glimpse into The Expanse universe. Story felt a bit too isolated but the game has good pacing, nice graphics and runs great on Deck.”

“A solid Telltale Game. 6 hours of play time for me. + The Expanse! + Voice acting, writing, soundtrack (from the TV show), everything is great - Quick time events aren't interesting, they never are (except maybe in…”

“Great for all series fans. I supposed, you should at least see tv show, to appreciate this game. I'm very happy that Cara Gee dubbed Drummer, can't imagine this character without her.”

“I was able to buy a cheap key for a few bucks and it was worth it. The quality is nearly movie like, but the choices do not really matter much at the end. The dlc archangel is not very interesting.”
“I can admit I was skeptical about buying this game, because of all the negative reviews online, then I remembered most telltale games get negative reviews besides the first season of walking dead, and I took the plunge…”
“Well written and voice acted short story. Took me about 8 hours to finish. Worth the money and the time.”

“For fans, this is an interesting little side venture into the Belt- but not much more. My recommendation is conditional; you have to really love the series, and you also have to be willing to forgive some pretty awful…”

“Play if you're a fan of The Expanse. Don't if you're not. Prequel story for Drummer is interesting if you're a fan of the series and the show actor Cara Gee. There are a few neat minor things with finding salvage. Otherwise the story is mid and some twists and reveals are great…”

I love The Expanse series and Drummer was one of my favorite characters, so I was super happy to return to this universe. The game is short but fun, I especially loved episodes 4 and 5. However, in…”
