The Wolf Among Us review

The Wolf Among Us is the best werewolf game for most players because it has the strongest review record of any wolf game on Steam and asks very little of your PC. You play Bigby Wolf, the big bad wolf of the fairy tales, now sheriff of Fabletown, investigating a brutal murder among fairy tale characters living in our world. Telltale's Steam page lists five episodes and a choice system where the timing of a decision matters as much as the decision itself. The minimum spec is 3 GB of RAM and 2 GB of storage, and 97% of 19,252 English Steam reviews are positive. It costs $14.99. Telltale also released The Wolf Among Us Remastered on Steam on October 29, 2026, with refreshed visuals and a black-and-white Noir Mode, listed at $24.99 and needing 8 GB of RAM. The limits: it is single-player, Windows only on Steam, and a dialogue-led detective story rather than an action game.
