Kenneth Shepard's Reviews
“Give No Shelter” still doesn’t do much to stand out among everything else in The Walking Dead’s universe, but it does make a more compelling case for its main character’s struggle.
2064: Read Only Memories has a fascinating world full of potential for great stories, but spends a lot of time focusing on things that aren’t as novel as its best parts.
While occasionally caving under the weight of its ambition, Greedfall delivers a world worth exploring inhabited by characters and stories just as memorable.
Telltale's Game of Thrones is at its best when it focuses on its own characters and isn't making a point to include ones from the books and show. The first season is one that is full of hard choices and a lot of sacrifice and feels very much in line with what fans have come to expect from Game of Thrones, but just how much all of this will matter has been hidden away for a second season.
A stellar interpretation of Bruce Wayne and Gotham can’t hide that Batman is one of Telltale’s biggest technical messes yet
Don't Stop Believin' helps to undo a lot of damage of previous episodes, but this more level-headed characterization is five episodes too late.
Hacker's Memory is a solid addition to the original Cyber Sleuth, but as its own game it has little in the way of substance.
Unravel Two is a clever and endearing take on the original's formula, but doesn't come through on its cooperative premise.
Persona Q2's has a lot of fun dungeon crawling to offer, but doesn't make the most of its great cast's time together.
The Walking Dead: Michonne feels like twice the amount of well-worn territory than Telltale series typically deal with, and much of that comes from its existing within a property that is reaching the ceiling of its dramatic potential.
While deep and captivating on their own, Digimon World Next Order's bloated mechanics step all over each other and make progressing through the game as a whole a stressful chore.
Catherine: Full Body has more interesting things to say about relationships that are dragged down by a story too cynical to let it shine.
The Last Guardian's story is moving and beautifully told, but the poor execution of its dated mechanics hold it back from the greatness of its predecessors.
The way that Telltale takes advantage of Minecraft lore to form its own narrative is intriguing and will delight fans of the original game, but what the studio is doing with this new story isn't doing much that will excite anyone else.
As Michonne concludes it becomes clear that this mini-series does little to nothing to differentiate itself from everything The Walking Dead has already offered, nor does it do much to excuse the general sameness of everything Telltale is doing these days.
World of Final Fantasy offers up a great tribute to the history of the franchise, but as its own game it has little to nothing of substance to say.
While there's nothing here that will cure Telltale fatigue, Guardians of the Galaxy also manages to stumble in its writing and visual style where the studio typically succeeds.
Dream Daddy is more of a dad sim than a dating sim, as its romance feels artificial on most occasions.
More Than a Feeling drags as it attempts to salvage some characters, but can't overcome some of Guardians of the Galaxy's lack of clarity and visual flair.
Brave New World wastes what precious little time Before the Storm has on filler, holding back meaningful developments until the very end.
