Ranking Telltale Games

trying to play more of them soon, but one of the first studios I remember being a big fan of, they were a much needed studio in the video game landscape. made me appreciate adventure and narrative-based games as a kid

The Walking Dead

phenomenal story with a great cast, with every episode being pretty memorable. I think this is where they started to incorporate less puzzles and just create interactive comic book-styled narratives, which I don't mind as it still feels pretty engaging. deserves all the praise it gets

The Wolf Among Us

what made me want to start this list in the first place as I thought I already played all the worthwhile TT games but I was massively wrong. Overall an incredible plot, very gripping and engaging. Went into this game blind, so I don't know the source material, but using fables centered around a murder mystery in a modern day NY is just such a cool premise. sure it might have some cliche moments if you've seen other pieces of media with a cold and rugged detective investigating a murder that's bigger than he realizes, but i love it

Sam & Max: Save the World
Sam & Max: Save the World
this was the first TT game I ever played, I think my parents just got me it cause it had a bunny and dog on the cover. So for that, I hold this game pretty fondly, and I think the remaster proves the game still holds up quite well. Lots of funny jokes and Sam & Max bounce off each other very well, however the puzzles can be a bit tricky, especially with how open some of the environments are. for sure has some moon logic moments but overall, still pretty charming

Tales from the Borderlands
