Heads must roll

Who heads the streetwalkers in Fabletown?
That is the key question that Bigby, the Sheriff of Fabletown (a kind of "enclave stranded in reality mythical creatures" in New York) seeks to answer. This Bigby sits himself between two stools - it is a wolf creature that turns in to a raging beast aggression spurts, but should pay attention as sheriff that the mythical creatures behave generally compliant and inconspicuous. Poor, forked Bigby. Nobody likes him so really, the lonesome rider. Is it any wonder that he chain-smokes and depends in bars? Bars, cigarette smoke, murders, New York, problems and self-doubt - typed correctly: the lamoryante narrative structure of "The Wolf" is similar to the black series of film noir of the 40s. But that also makes equally clear: the interactive comic is not child's play. Rather a taffes fairy tale for adults.

Formal uses the Game proficient Cellshading the technique with thick outer contours in order to produce the very large comic strip atmosphere - what succeeds masterfully. Visually, "The wolf" a real looker. The graphics are so vivid that it seems at times almost three-dimensional. Film Noir meets comic so? Yes! Finally, the game is based indeed on the comic series "Fables" by Bill Willingham. The gameplay is point and click-based - what else personally actually more Turn-Offs me, kept me almost from the purchase, but to "Wolf" fits very well, since one considered by clicking various dialogue and Tort options liquid but can intervene in the course of history: your decision designed with the game "on the fly" so to speak.

But why I mention this relatively old game, which appeared already in the early days of console for PS4? Well, because I have the PS4 for a year and really good games so far are still scarce for my taste. "The wolf" counts as one of the few positive exceptions that a shorten the waiting time to continually announced (and often shifted?) Innovations like "Life Is Strange" and "The Vanishing of E. Carter". To shoot and play football, drive a car and slaughter other - please give me the secrets, the mysteries, the dialogues, the good storylines and complex characters.

Good characters - of which there are in the comic strip, which recruits its staff from numerous myths and fairy tales, plenty. The figures are in character all worked out so well that one every night it would be to seeing the Fables and Normalos. The seedy, often seedy milieu is the little people - bars, strip clubs, Prositituierte and nipple slips - Welcome to the underworld. Meet the underdogs. The American voice acting are nigh perfectly appropriate to type. In the smoky baritone of Bigby could be purely sit down!

Entertaining comic for adults: "the wolf among us" is an entertaining pastime for gamblers from 18 with a penchant for the special Games atmosphere.
