The Wolf Among Us, Ep.2: Smoke & Mirrors
So, Telltale Games are all about twists. I think there's always one at the very end, but this one had an extra twist very early on, too. And to be honest, I didn't really like it at first. It instantly made everything very confusing. However, they were quick to thoroughly explain how it all happened, so after that I was okay with it. It tied to the overall plot very well after all, after it had the chance to progress a little bit further after the initial "what the hell".
This episode was much less action-oriented than the first, although there was a little bit of that here too. At this point I should mention, that those scenes seem to be very well directed. Yes, they are nothing but QTE's, but the action looks really cool. I always get extra-excited when I notice one's about to happen.
Well, not much else to be said about this episode. It mostly focused on progressing the story, instead of constantly throwing "Holy Shit! What the fuck! Who's this guy? Oh my God" -moments at you like the first episode. It was a nice chance of pace. Not really sure how I feel about the ending - I mean, I kinda had my suspects, but it was still... a little creepy. Very interesting to see how the next conversation with a particular character will go.
