That doesn’t mean that The Mad Ones did not come without its flaws, though. Coupled with the introduction of its RPG mechanics, The Council left a lasting impression after its opening episode came to an end. The French studio shattered the illusion of choice often found in Telltale’s titles, with the choices made across Episode 1: The Mad Ones, Episode 2: Hide and Seek, Episode 3: Ripples, Episode 4: Burning Bridges and Episode 5: Checkmate impacting the trajectory of the story. Interestingly, Big Bad Wolf debuted its episodic title in the same year that the Tales from the Borderlands and Batman: The Enemy Within developer met its unfortunate demise, but The Council only reinforced that episodic gaming could - and would - be more than a one-trick pony. While the point-and-click formula had been successful for Telltale Games (and other developers), it’s hardly surprising that players would experience fatigue with the studio’s work after many years. The Council has been a breath of fresh air for episodic gaming. It’s also worth noting that this review contains minor spoilers from The Council.

Don't even bother playing it.Editor’s note: with Big Bad Wolf’s The Council ending with the release of Episode 5: Checkmate last month, Hardcore Gamer is now reviewing the title in its entirety.
This game goes straight to my 'Trash' folder & hopefully I forget it exists. I can't even bother to write a proper review.
want to replay? suffer), no fast travel (slowly running through the manor gets old really fast). No cutscenes skipping or exiting them (clicked by mistake on the same thing? listen to the entire ramble. Does it make sense? No.Īnimations are glitching and flickering. Then at some point in your adulthood you learn you're actually an alien that's been putting on a human costume without even noticing, and now you have to kill the entire human race by yourself to stay alive. This isn't the plot of this game, but it's somewhat the game's logic: you've been human for as long as you remember. There's no hope left for a decent ending & for the enjoyable playthrough up until the end. Ep3 goes downhill fast & you still hope it's not true, but it's already so damn tiring.Īt the very beginning of episode 4 I understand now.
Episode 1 is really good.Įp 2 is pretty decent and still intriguing. At episode 1 I was confused about all the negative reviews.
