The Wolf Among Us Remastered

The story

Bigby Wolf, the fairy tales’ “big bad wolf” turned sheriff, investigates a string of murders in Fabletown, a hidden New York community of fairy-tale characters. The remaster includes all five episodes of the original and its choices that shape relationships and dialogue (PlayStation Store).

What’s new

• Reworked lighting, animation, environments and interface (PlayStation Store; Final Weapon also notes a steadier frame rate than the original Xbox 360, PS3 and PC releases).
• Noir Mode: the whole game in black and white, toggled at any time (Telltale).
• Five playable deleted scenes, over an hour of behind-the-scenes videos and interviews, and an image gallery (Telltale; Final Weapon).
• Saves and trophies/achievements from the original do not transfer (Telltale support).

What critics say

PS5 scores range from 8.1/10 (Video Chums) to 9/10 (PlayStation LifeStyle, GamingBolt, GameSpew, Checkpoint Gaming). PlayStation LifeStyle calls it “the best way to revisit one of Telltale’s best-crafted stories”. Final Weapon describes a “by-the-books” remaster: well done but light on additions, with new lighting that slightly changes the original’s identity. PlayStation LifeStyle reports a few inherited Telltale glitches, such as textures not loading properly.
