Haunting, in both the ghostly and the emotional sense.
One of the better examples of a book-to-game adaptation.
A throwback to survival horror's terrifying origins, but falls short in the finish.
Yet more proof that Final Fantasy XIV is the best MMORPG around.
All of the cliches, none of the heart.
Everything that was good about Dragon Quest Heroes, taken to the next level.
Aotearoa is a perfect setting for a video game, and this game is proof.
Even great games can overstay their welcome.
This game would be funny if the reality of it wasn't so terrifying.
Unfortunately, this episode's strengths are all in superficial places. Nobody comes to a Telltale game looking for technical prowess, and plot is only a tiny part of what makes a good story. I hate to say it, but Above the Law falls flat in the places that matter most: the characters and depth that underpin everything else. Without that, the episode is particularly forgettable, which doesn't bode well for an episodic series that's already struggling with its release schedule.
