    seen some people complaining like "yet another Mass Effect wannabe" after the Expanse game announcement and like....I don't really think we actually got a surge of good Mass Effect-like games to the point where I got sick of them. Quite the opposite!

    The Expanse started as a MMO project, then a tabletop role-playing game, before becoming these great novels & TV series. Author Ty Franck: "I really wanted a version of EVE [Online], or something like EVE, where you could actually get off of your ship and have adventures on the ground."

    Even without reading the books or watching the show, I could follow this game's story well enough, which I appreciated. That said, it doesn’t quite live up to the emotional highs or meaningful choices of Telltale’s earlier games, and it feels like a smaller, more restrained experience, even with the better graphics. I understand the studio isn’t what it once was, and this game feels like a quiet ending to my Telltale journey rather than a big finale. Still, I’m grateful for the memories they…

    Man, Telltale has to be a grandmaster Lich or something at this point considering they died and then had various degrees of comebacks, successors or otherwise. The Expanse is a particular example of newly (re)formed Telltale cooperating with Deck Nine with a popular IP coming from both novels and TV show. Well, I only wish it was a bit better. We play as Camina Drummer serving under captain Cox in her pre-Tycho days. Scavenging some space wrecks leads them to discover possible payload that…

    Play if you're a fan of The Expanse. Don't if you're not. Prequel story for Drummer is interesting if you're a fan of the series and the show actor Cara Gee. There are a few neat minor things with finding salvage. Otherwise the story is mid and some twists and reveals are great for fans and mean nothing for non-fans. Gameplay is basic and decisions don't feel terribly important for the most part. DLC episiode feels noticeably lower budget and less interesting.

    Set in the beloved universe of James S. A. Corey’s sci-fi saga, this episodic adventure focuses on Camina Drummer, one of the most compelling and complex characters from The Expanse TV series. The game serves as a prequel to the show, exploring Drummer’s early days aboard the scavenger ship Artemis and offering a tense, character-driven story filled with betrayal, loyalty, and the hard choices that define life in the Belt. Telltale’s writing remains sharp, and Cara Gee’s return as Camina…

Literally lost the gist of it. Decision making is so easy and there's no fun and curiousty. The game is more based on collecting stuff rather than making choices. Voice Acting : Really poor! 2/10 .

    A really nice experience for fans of The Expanse TV show. It works perfectly as a cool prequel, with great atmosphere and solid world-building. The story is simple but engaging, and the connections to the show (and books) feel natural, not forced. Classic Telltale gameplay with meaningful choices that genuinely affect how things play out. Only downside: it’s pretty short, and if you’re not familiar with the series or books, it might not have the same impact. Still, a must-play for any Belter…

New and fresh art style which doesn't disappoint. I actually enjoyed exploring in 0g. (To the people saying the game is too short: you clearly haven't done enough of that). The game lacks the huge amount of QTEs that Telltale has gotten us used to, so you could say it is less engaging and more of a movie, however, the…
