Telltale Games: The best games at a glance

The public Telltale Games is known for its video game adaptations of well-known series, films and even video games. Get to know the Telltale universe.

The concept of Telltale Games

Unfortunately, Telltale Games declared bankruptcy, employees were dismissed and only open orders are still closed. Telltale has long understood how to take up the ideas of video games, series and films and thus tell new stories.

• The existing titles are available for PC, PS4 and XBox One. There are also versions for Android and iOS.
• Single episodes or in-game purchases cost up to $ 16.99, but there are often bundles that include multiple games for a fraction of the unit price.
• Unfortunately, the company has taken over and always hoped to be able to build on old successes. In the end, investors withdrew and the expectations of the players were not met with too many titles.

The great success of the publisher

In addition to working on Sam & Max, Tales of Monkey Island, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Games of Thrones, which unfortunately more or less fell short of expectations, the following titles are the great successes of Telltale. The adaptation of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy was not so well received by the fans because it was too action-packed and dark.

• Telltale was particularly successful with the games for the "Walking Dead" series.
• "Tales from the Borderlands" takes place in the apocalyptic world of the "Borderlands" game series, but tells its own story, in which everyone is looking for a fabulous treasure.
• You can slip into the role of Batman in the series of the same name and take on the well-known villains of the masked avenger.
• The last big success was the "Minecraft Story Mode". The standalone title enriched the block world of the popular endless game with a funny and crazy story.
