The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 Smoke and Mirrors
Xbox 360 DLC
2014



I liked the first episode a lot because unlike The Walking Dead and Sam & Max there was a lot more action in this game. Well episode 2 mostly steers away from this. Even the amount of point and click puzzles are missing. A lot of what we get is dialog decisions.

What we also get several surprising swerves. Nothing like what Vince Russo does but rather some interesting plot twists. And again we end on a cliffhanger. But I guess that's to be expected in episodic gaming.

I think it was fun to try and solve mysteries like your a crime scene investigator but the action is mostly missing. It honestly felt like I was playing more of one of those interactive Japanese novels rather than a video game at some points.

Anyway I'm still excited to see what happens next. It's just that they used this episode to build up tension.

I give this episode a 7/10.
