What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
8/10 The Wolf Among Us is a narrative game with limited choices and a great story.
Peak writing, amazing atmosphere, great characters and such a unique art style.
The gameplay itself is simple and heavily focused on dialogue, but that works in favor of the experience rather than hurting it.
The artstyle is perfect for the subject and I thought the sound effects, dialogue, music, and voice acting added a lot to the game.
The cel-shaded comic book style ages gracefully; runs perfectly on Steam Deck.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
