Telltale Games is reviving The Expanse with a prequel game series, and we’ve played the first episode.
Maya is another interesting new character included in the game.
The development team has said that decisions will matter, and this will be more branching than previous games. That gives Telltale and Deck Nine a fine line to walk, because how can you give players full freedom of how to shape a character’s life, when that character’s future is already mapped out via the TV show? It’s going to be interesting to see how that pans out over the course of five episodes.
As it’s a prequel, we’re a little surprised that The Expanse: A Telltale Series isn’t a little more welcoming to newcomers. There’s little in the way of an introduction to the world , and so it feels like players are expected to enter the game with pre-existing knowledge. That’s not to say it’s totally hostile to newcomers, but it may be less engaging than it is to someone who already with a deep understanding and fondness of the universe they’re entering into.
As far as first impressions go, we walked away fairly happy with what episode one of The Expanse: A Telltale Series gave us. It was a little short, and we’d have liked a bit more time getting to know each of the new characters, yet it teased their personalities just enough to make us want to know more about them. And Drummer? Well, she’s as likeable as ever.
