“The Wolf Among Us is easily one of the best story-driven games I’ve played. The atmosphere and characters are really well done, and the choices keep things interesting. I liked the twists in the story, and the darker…”
“I didn't get to understand this before, nor have the patience, but I decided to replay it this time and I was not disappointed. The choices do matter, the lines of dialogue and actions can speak a lot louder than words…”
“I never read any of Fables comic and generally have little interest towards stories with detective theme. But I enjoyed The Wolf Among Us much more than I initially expected and some aspects felt better than TWD S1. I…”

“Super gra z ciekawą, zagmatwaną fabułą i oryginalną grafiką. Podoba mi się że cały czas podejmuje się wybory i jest mało głupiego łażenia. Błędów nie znalazłem, a platynka łatwa i przyjemna. Bardzo polecam!”

“9.5/10 Second best Telltale game and probably one of the more unique games I've ever played. The visuals of this game are also absolutely stunning, complimented by the banger soundtrack, it's crazy this game out in 2013.”

“I had a great time playing The Wolf Among Us. The story kept me hooked and constantly second-guessing my choices, which made every decision feel important. The gameplay was fun and easy to get into, and the overall…”
“A clever and stylish game that pulls no punches when dealing with mature subject matter. Well worth it for anyone that wants a 10 hour narrative experience that asks them to make difficult decisions.”

“The perfect Telltale game? Gameplay wise, it's exactly as you'd expect. But as an interactive story, it's very engaging. Well written, great pacing, brilliantly voice acted and dripping with style, this is an easy 5/5.”
“It´s hard to believe it´s been already 13 years since first release .. this game is still one of my favorites Telltale interactive experiences and stories Amazing music, animations and top notch voice acting with great…”

“This is my first telltale game. the story is good other than that it was MEH. while i was collecting book of fabels i felt that my choices doesnt really matter. it was an okay game overall”
“If I wanted to watch cartoons, I'd turn on the tv. There is almost no gameplay and the interactions are mostly dialog. The storyline is ridiculous and very very slow to develop. The mechanics of any "combat" are very…”
“As another reviewer said, I'm no a big fan of mystery adventure games, but the story was gritty, human enough to keep me engaged to the end. The stupid timer on dialogue choices pissed me off though - sometimes it just…”

“This game was really good its just sad that it was only 10 hours long, one of the top 5 games I've ever played, it was really fun and after beating it was easy to get all of the achievements, I loved playing the game…”
“Great story like the other telltale games. But as with the other ones quite short. I am also disappointed that the ending has pretty minor variances. You get to do a million choices during the story, but ultimately, for…”

— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“The Wolf Among Us is one of those rare narrative-driven games that manages to feel both gritty and deeply human at the same time. Set in a dark, noir-inspired version of a fairy tale universe, it pulls you in immediately with its striking art style, moody soundtrack, and sharp…”
