Compared to the Walking Dead game...

...is The Wolf Among Us better, worse or up to par with The Walking Dead?

Both are point and click games, story driven, and by TTG. I loved the walking dead. Will I love this game just as much

[Lukeyg97]

opinions are mixed to whether twau is better than twd personally I think they are equally good they both have their flaws but both are awesome if you loved twd you should love this

I enjoy The Wolf Among Us more than The Walking Dead, but your mileage will definitely vary. TWD was more character focused, while the focus on TWAU is the larger ongoing story (one reason why I prefer it). It also has a more interesting universe IMHO, but that could be partly be because I am sick unto death of zombies. TWD did have more exploration and inventory puzzling though, which is something I miss. Nothing like the drugstore/parking lot scene in the first episode of TWD exists here, and that makes me sad.

In the grand scheme, I'd say they're about even. Depends on what you're looking for, I guess, but they're 95% the same.

The Walking Dead > Wolf Among Us > Walking Dead Season 2

I felt more connected to the walking dead. It was easy to get into and connect to the characters personally. The Wolf Among Us, I'm not sure if its because of the fairy tale setting, but you I'm finding it harder to get immersed. But I'm liking the story more. Murder mystery and the like.

Difficult. I'm a huge fan of The Walking Dead (comics/ show/ games included) so it's hard to be totally objective.

I think the characters in TWD 1 have so much more depth and feel more 'real', TWD 2 seems similar so far though it hasn't had quite the same impact.

However I prefer the story line in TWAU and the fact that it's a lot more interesting, as well as they have the scope of creativity more that TWD.

TL;DR - I like both, for different reasons :D

Oh and you most likely would like this game, I was sceptical at first too but I definitely recommend!

TWD S2 is a more solid experience, some scenes from TWAU make you go o_0, but it's also a great game and if ep 1 got me hyped for the series, 2 made me a little disappointed because nothing really happened, it was just an episode that prepared the player for ep 3, ep 3 however was unexpectedly good and I rate it above any of the Walking Dead S2 episodes.

[You takin notes]

I think they are equal, however the ending to episode 3 in TWAU knocks TWD episode 3 out of the park. Well at least in my opinion.

[Hobbes]

They're different, but in terms of quality I'd say they're pretty even. I was a bit iffy about episode two of TWAU, but it really picked back up again with this new one.

I'd say I'm more invested in TWD though, but that's probably mostly because we're onto the second season so I've formed a bit more of a connection with the characters like Clem.

But to keep it short, if you like TWD, you should like this one too.

well the diffrance that there like time on the wolf among us, but i still say TWD>TWAU

[BlaqkAudio]

I see. So it looks like this game is more story focused. That's cool! I can deal with that :D

Thanks for the awesome replies, everyone! Looks like ill be getting this game once I get the money for it. Seems like there's more praise than criticism here :3

I love both of them tbh, I honestly think if you loved TWD you will love TWAU. Both games are story drivin and rely on choices and they all have great and interesting characters.

[Half-Life Scientist]

To be honest, I may have some bias because I am a huge fan of the comics of Fables than I am with The Walking Dead. So naturally I would say that The Wolf Among Us is more of my favorite, but The Walking Dead Game is fantastic nevertheless.

I think I like TWAU more. There are more interesting characters in TWAU. Those in TWD season 2 we never get to know very far, and as soon as you do they already die. Furthermore I think the idea with the Fables is more interesting than the somewhat exhausted zombie apocalypse theme. TWD is all about surviving, basically. Which kinda gets repetitive, predictable, boring after some while.

As for puzzling: None of the games really go very far there. The second season of TWD is on-par with TWAU or even more lacking there. There is "some" (crime) scene investigation in TWAU but it is rudimentarily at best and lackluster to anyone who seeks something even halfway challenging. Situations like the parking lot or the front of the drugstore as seen in the first season of TWD you will not find in either games.
