Just a quick heads up to let you know that the fourth episode of Telltale Games’ excellent adventure game The Wolf Among Us (Free), which Telltale began teasing us about last week, is now available to download from within the game. Like previous episodes, it’ll set you back $4.99 if you’re buying them one at a time, or will simply be ready to download if you’ve bought the season pass. This fourth episode is titled “In Sheep’s Clothing" and you can get a gist of what it’s all about in the following trailer (spoilers, obviously).
If you haven’t yet indulged in The Wolf Among Us and are wondering what it’s all about, we’ve covered the first two episodes of the game in our review, and we’ll be withholding food and water from our reviewer until he adds in content from the third and fourth episodes. However, the tl;dr is that The Wolf Among Us is another excellent adventure from Telltale, and if you like gritty takes on classic fairy tales you should definitely check it out.
The fifth and final episode should be hitting sometime later this year, and we’ll have more details on that when they’re available.
I'd definitely watch this on HBO.
I hear the yelling of irate gamers annoyed this was reviewed/giving publicity oxygen to this scum/got a half star more than LIMBO on the wind.
And isn't it ironic... Don't you think?
I've highly enjoyed this game, just like I've enjoyed most of King's titles. It's sad that they always get poor reviews, but this is toucharcade. Someday your staff, and especially your readers, will learn to love free-to-play games. But that day is not today.
3.5/5 is a good rating. It's stating the game is better than average.
Different people enjoy different things. I personally love pixel art in games, and find King's art style to be obnoxious, childish, and bland. You'll find people that say the same about pixel art -- it's just a matter of personal taste. There's nothing to "get"; it just doesn't appeal to some people.
Though I admittedly haven't tried Bubble Witch Saga 2 yet, I find freemium games that make use of consumable items to pass stages to be somewhat "stressful" in a bad way. Given that these games are trying to sell consumables, I tend to feel like the game is stacked against me, in an effort to get me to buy more consumables to "minimize" my pain. I'm reluctant to spend the consumables that I do have, because I don't know if I'll need them later.
There are a lot of freemium games that I enjoy, so it's not just the freemium elements that I dislike. Disco Zoo did an excellent job, and I didn't hesitate to throw a few bucks their way. I thought Clash of Clans did things well, and ended up buying more builders to speed things up because I was enjoying the game. King's games have a certain "style" of f2p that rubs me the wrong way. To me, they feel more like casino slot machines, and prey on the same emotions and feelings.
My point is not trying to debate the merits of King's style of f2p because obviously, a lot of people enjoy it. My point is that different people enjoy different things, so it should come as no surprise that so long as King continues to pump out games with the same formula, that there will be some number of people that continue to dislike them.
I relate. I blocked King games (for a time) from my FB feed due to friend spam. I tried Candy Crush for a couple weeks, but found the game balance predatory, consumables horrid, and social integration annoying. Recently a friend tried to get me to unblock and send her lives. Personally, the itch CC scratches is scratched by other puzzlers that don't turn me into a beggar/troll to my friends and contacts.
The thing I find with pay as you go titles or rather pay or don't go titles is that I eventually lost interest. While I could play I played continuously but as timers set in all I do now is open the app, collect the booster and close it again. I couldn't be bothered playing it knowing I probably won't crack the code in the allotted free goes so I just don't bother. Never got addicted to this game but did get bored with it very quick I'm on about level 59.
This version is much better than the first. However, I was not given the free lives/boosters I was promised on another King game to try the first 10 levels of BWS2.
I enjoy the new bubble witch 2 better than the 1st one , I enjoy all the games by kings , the only issue I have is there isn't enough levels , I already beat it and now I'm waiting for more levels , that's the only thing I don't like .
I give 4 1/2 stars
I reached level 90 and it won't go any further. Does anyone know why?
I love all the King games. What I don't like is dozens of tiny purchases on my account. There should be a way to pay from one central account for any game you wish thus making one large purchase rather than dozens of small ones.
for those of you that have "beaten" this game, does that mean that you've gotten three stars on all levels without buying anything?????????
I'm a fairly decent player and can't seem to do that on at least a couple of levels (that beat moraga one, for example).
No i have had to buy gold bars and get boosters to get through many levels however I have just brought gold bars as it says you get unlimited lives to play for 24 hours it is counting down but not given me unlimited lives!! Very frustrating
