Deviating from the previous two games Wild Hunt now has open world environments that are so large and detailed it can be intimidating. In comparison to other open-world games such as Skyrim the open World in The Witcher 3 is 3.5 time larger, in comparison the GTA5 The Witcher 3 is 1.5 times larger.
Pro Immersive story
The dialogue of the game is very intriguing as well as voiced superbly making for a very immersive experience as far as story is concerned. It is through the care the developers took to implement such realistic writing and voice work that makes the game so intriguing and an experience to play.
Con Story feels like a chore
Most quests feel like a chore in that it is basically fetch quests in exchange for information to advance the story. While this is often a mechanic found in games to keep the gameplay long it does get tiresome.
Pro Easily controllable tactical gameplay
Good tactical UI interface which is easily controlled through pausing the gameplay. Once the gameplay is paused a radial menu and be used in order to make decisions on how to attack or maneuver.
Pro Game characters are fully rounded
NPC's have believable characters with fleshed out background stories. Many are able to be used as companions of which will have tons of text interactions that are well written and believable.
Con Too easy to fix wronged companion relationships
While this is done most likely to avoid breaking the game it is way too easy to fix relationships with companions who the player has made angry by purchasing and giving them gifts. basically the player can treat them however they want to then give a gift to ficxany problems.
Pro Great plot and great drama
The story is really engaging, along with the drama which is the most prominent aspect of the game (but don't let that turn you off if you think that drama isn't your thing, because this is so well done).
Pro Attention to detail
Life Is Strange has quite a bit of attention to detail compared to some other games. It has a lot of details that the player can interact with (interact meaning examine or talk to, not anything physics-based whatsoever), things which frequently trigger audible dialogue narrated by the protagonist....
Con Some poor writing and unbelievable characters
Many of the characters use dialog and behave unlike how a teenager would making for poor believable characters and story.
Pro Characters feel real
The writing is so well done that the character and their story fell very real, even when realizing the story takes place in a fairy-tale world. This allows for immersion in the game that is often not matched by other point and click adventure games.
Pro In game encyclopedia
For those that want more back-story into the Fables comic there is an in game encyclopedia that allows for a more in depth analysis of the characters and their surrounding story.
Pro Refinement of earlier success
With the success TellTale achieved in their Walking Dead series, The Wolf Among US takes every good aspect of that gameplay and refines it even further.
The Wolf Among Us is a point and click adventure game based on the Fables comic books. The gameplay consists the player navigating branching dialogue scenes as well as clicking certain places in a pre-rendered scene to have the character move to that location in order to click on objects in the near area to see if there are clues or info to be found. Through investigating many different scenes the player can piece together the story as well as use items to unlock new areas and advance the story.

It only takes about four hours to complete, which some people find too short for any game

For fans of games with retro stylings but with a palette which evokes wistful nostalgia.
