RPG Gamers summaryTelltale Games, renowned for their gripping choice-dependent narratives, plunges once more into the cosmic deep with The Expanse: A Telltale Series.
The Expanse invites players aboard the Artemis, a scavenging ship navigating the threats and opportunities of the vastly unchartered Belt. Users embody the character of Camina Drummer, the Executive Officer of the ship. In this multilayered plot, players must manage a volatile crew, unravel political schemes, and survive the hostile environment of space; all while choosing paths that test Drummer’s allegiance to her crew, her own survival, and the Belt she has committed to defend.
True to Telltale’s tradition, gameplay combines exploration and interaction, involving zero-g environment physics, scavenging shipwrecks and mitigating a mutiny, while dealing with pirates lurking in the outer reaches of the Belt. The Expanse allows for the interaction with crew members and objects, bringing a fresh level of immersion to the Telltale series.
The game comes with five riveting episodes, with titles such as Archer’s Paradox, Hunting Grounds, First Ones, Impossible Objects, and Europa’s Folly. Each episode introduces new challenges, choices, and consequences that will surely leave players on the edge of their seats.
Telltale Games has crafted a reputation for its dependent narrative structure where players’ choices dictate the storyline’s unfolding. In The Expanse, this tradition persists in the game’s depiction of Drummer’s decisions among lesser evils. It’s less about right and wrong choices, and more about the unforeseen consequences they generate.
Overall, The Expanse: A Telltale Series promises an exciting and immersive gaming adventure, fusing space exploration, politics, and character development in a dynamic narrative experience with choices that genuinely matter. Telltale Games appears set in expanding one’s gaming universe through The Expanse.
