The Expanse: A Telltale Series – Episode 2: Hunting Grounds Review

Our review of Episode One for The Expanse: A Telltale Series can be found here.

Conclusion

The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode 2: Hunting Grounds throws you straight into the action, continuing from the cliff-hanger of Episode 1. You and your crew are running low on resources and have to escape from the space pirates. You have more exploring to do, relationships to build and more resources to gather. It’s more of the same gameplay for the most part, with the inclusion of a new evade mechanic from drones and some light gun fights. The story has enough depth to keep us wanting to come back as soon as Episode 3 is ready.

Summary
I love Telltale style of games, ever since Xbox 360. The Expanse builds on the great formula of the story driven games and modernises it. I hope to see more Telltale games come out in the near future and dabble in different franchises.
Good

Gaming used to be about playing Championship Manager ,but then I was introduced to consoles and I fell in love with Xbox 360. Xbox has always been my console of choice. Catch me on Apex or Call of Duty. Gamertag/Twitter: Chocolatebear80
