10 Titles To Play If You Love Telltale Games

Truthfully speaking, everybody loves Telltale.

Yes, we may complain about their episodic release dates being inconsistent, their episodes having the occasional glitches and their graphics engine being more outdated than the countless memes about their characters remembering things, but our rage and bitterness comes from a place of love.

We are a part of the large following they've more than earned by implementing a solid and malleable formula: point-and-click gameplay, puzzles, interesting characters, gripping narratives and solid voice acting. A blueprint which has allowed them to work with a number of ridiculously popular properties from Minecraft to the mother f'ing Batman.

Still, while these may seem like Telltale exclusive ingredients to only the most pig-ignorant of fanboys, there are many other games which consist of moral dilemmas, explorative gameplay and cinematic focus.

Some of which do it even better than Telltale themselves.

If you’re fan of Telltale games because you enjoy watching their narratives unwind, getting invested in their characters and solving sets of puzzles, here are a plethora of similarly designed games that, while you might not know about, you may enjoy even more.

The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 is everything you love and loathe about the adventure genre. Its sceneries are stunningly beautiful, its characters are whacky, well voice acted and distinct, and it is full of countless jigsaw puzzles. Sadly, it also has awkward and slow walking animations, the puzzles often don’t have any logical bearing and its infuriating camera makes picking specific objects up impossible at the worst of times.

Still, in-spite-of suicide encouraging faults like puzzles being unsolvable when fixed in the wrong order, The Book Of Unwritten Tales 2 is an unforgettable and mostly pleasant adventure.

To save the land of Avantasia, you control multiple characters. All of whom are given their own individual chapters and stand out with their striking personalities. Exploring its world, you’ll find yourself in dozens of different locales – ones which are always full of references and tributes to beloved fantasy works such as Monsters Inc., The Lord Of The Rings and Portal.

As a sequel to a cult favourite, The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a package which Telltale fans should give a chance. Its story is engaging, its characters are memorable and its countless references will have fans of The Wolf Among Us itching to explore every nook and cranny.
