The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a game that feels like another season of the show. It’s a well-defined narrative that piques your interest from start to finish. The game nails the vibes of one of TV’s most overlooked sci-fi dramas. The writing and performances in the first two episodes are every bit as well crafted as the show, with a focus more on intimate character beats than solar-system politics. The game manages to fill the void admirably left by the show.
The game is visually stunning and represents Telltale Games at its finest. The level designers imbue the environments with an appropriate amount of “lived-in-ness” — much of what they’ve created can be explored in zero gravity. The implementation here is shockingly intuitive, allowing you to attach your “grav boots” not only to the floor, but walls and ceilings as well. As a scrapper, you’ll be able to easily launch off of and explore the wreckage of ships floating above Jupiter, searching for spare parts, fuel, and maybe something extra for your crewmates. For Expanse fans in particular, it’s quite the treat flying around the carcasses of MCRN and U.N. Navy vessels, fully realized in all their vastness.
The game’s story is engaging and well-written. It’s a narrative-driven experience that will keep you hooked from start to finish. The choices you make throughout the game have real consequences that affect how the story plays out. This makes for a highly replayable experience that will keep you coming back for more.
The voice acting in The Expanse: A Telltale Series is top-notch. The actors do an excellent job of bringing their characters to life and making them feel like real people. The dialogue is well-written and believable, which helps to immerse you in the world of The Expanse.
Overall, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a varied and engaging experience moment-to-moment. If you’re looking for a game that will keep you hooked from start to finish, then this is definitely one to check out!
In conclusion, The Expanse: A Telltale Series on Xbox is an excellent addition to the franchise. It captures the tone and style of the show perfectly while also delivering an engaging narrative-driven experience. The visuals are stunning, and the voice acting is top-notch. If you’re a fan of The Expanse or just looking for a great story-driven game, then this is definitely one to check out!
