The Expanse: A Telltale Series Game Review

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a solid entry in the studio’s long-running series of narrative-driven games. It faithfully recreates the look and feel of the show, with excellent voice acting, atmospheric visuals, and a compelling story. However, the game doesn’t innovate much on the Telltale formula, and it can feel a bit short and rushed at times.

Story

The game is set in the same universe as the TV show, and it tells the story of Camina Drummer, a Martian marine officer who is caught up in a conspiracy that threatens to ignite a war between the Inner Planets and the Belt.

The story is well-written and engaging, and it does a good job of balancing character development with political intrigue. The game also features a number of tough choices that will have a real impact on the story.

Characters

The characters in The Expanse are all well-developed and believable. Camina Drummer is a particularly strong protagonist, and she is supported by a cast of interesting and memorable characters.

Gameplay

The gameplay in The Expanse is largely the same as in other Telltale games. It consists of exploring environments, talking to characters, and making choices. There are also a few quick-time events, but they are not too difficult.

The game does feature a few new gameplay elements, such as the ability to hack into computer systems and pilot a space ship. However, these elements are not particularly innovative or well-implemented.

Presentation

The Expanse is a visually appealing game. The environments are detailed and atmospheric, and the character models are well-animated. The game also features excellent voice acting, with Cara Gee reprising her role as Camina Drummer from the TV show.

Overall Verdict

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a solid entry in the studio’s long-running series of narrative-driven games. It faithfully recreates the look and feel of the show, with excellent voice acting, atmospheric visuals, and a compelling story. However, the game doesn’t innovate much on the Telltale formula, and it can feel a bit short and rushed at times.

If you are a fan of the TV show, or if you are looking for a well-written and engaging narrative-driven game, then The Expanse: A Telltale Series is worth checking out. However, if you are looking for a game with innovative gameplay or a lot of replay value, then you may be disappointed.
