![]() ![]() This made In Sheep’s Clothing the least personal chapter yet. ![]() Save for a single fork in the road, there are fewer major decisions to make here than there’ve been all season. I’m fine with short games that leave me fulfilled, but Wolf 4’s scant runtime certainly didn’t satisfy me.My biggest gripe with Wolf Episode 4 is the real lack of weighty choices. I was excited to finally confront them, and ready to exact some revenge, but was completely stunned when the screen went to black and the credits rolled. ![]() Yet those two powerful figures don’t come back in Episode 4 until literally the final seconds. In the awesome final scene of Episode 3, Telltale introduced Bloody Mary and The Crooked Man, two of the series’ strongest villains. As we near the end of the first season, I’d like to see Telltale begin to tackle some of the loose threads instead of pulling on new ones. Bigby shakes down a butcher and gets into a nasty fight in a pawn shop, but none of these encounters really serve to add to the characters or progress the mysteries that we’ve been eager to solve all year. This episode is populated with a handful of new characters like the Jersey Devil, but none of them have scenes with enough meat on the bone to make me really care about them. There are interactions with characters like Toad and Bluebeard that simply seem to run circles around ideas and emotions that we’ve been exploring since Episode 1 without shedding any new light on them. There’s a scene where Bigby visits Beauty and Beast that seemingly serves no purpose other than turning two potentially interesting characters into one-dimensional facades. Sadly, the powerful opening is the episode’s highpoint, and the hour or so that follow feels like a complete decrescendo. ![]()
