Critic Reviews for The Wolf Among Us: Episode 5 - Cry Wolf
The Walking Dead showed that mainstream audiences had long overlooked what classic adventure games had to offer; The Wolf Among Us proves that the best from Telltale is yet to come.
The Wolf Among Us Episode 5: Cry Wolf is a fantastic finale, and some of the best work Telltale has ever done.
The finale resolves lingering questions while giving you more to ponder
Cry Wolf brings The Wolf Among Us to an uneven conclusion, but still packs the occasional emotional punch.
Cry Wolf serves as a satisfying conclusion to The Wolf Among Us, delivering on all the promise that previous episodes held. Telltale's original characters and plot fit perfectly into Bill Willingham's brilliant world, and every Fables fan will be satisfied with this expansion of the series' lore.
Telltale's greatest accomplishment is delivering a worthwhile entry into the Fables cannon, keeping true to the ideals without taking any liberties whatsoever. Even though many fans will already know how the characters end up, The Wolf Among Us manages to be gripping from start to finish – there's just no real weak point, and Cry Wolf is a fittingly great ending to a fantastic series.
Cry Wolf may not have been as strong as some of the episodes before it, but it remains an appropriate capstone to an excellent series that once again proves that Telltale is one of the most interesting companies in the video game market today. I can't wait to see what they do with Game of Thrones.
