Poll Your favorite David Cage style game? (92 votes)
Admittedly, I haven't played all the Telltale games (I've played Walking Dead 1, Wolf Among Us, and Borderlands), as well as the three David Cage style David Cage games. My best experience so far overall has been The Wolf Among Us. It was a series I didn't know anything about and I really enjoyed seeing all those characters in a dark setting. Also, I really dug the music. David Cage games tend to start strong but lose track somewhere along the way and Heavy Rain, I still think, kept it going the longest. Indigo loses it half way, and Beyond is just kind of a mess.
Anyway, I thought I was done with these type of games after playing Tales from the Borderlands and didn't really like it as much as some folks but started playing Life is Strange and to my surprise, I'm having an even better time than when I watched it played by the GBE guys. The writing tries too hard but playing it by myself, I'm really connecting with the tone of the game. The voice work and music really cuts through the heavy handed writing and combined with the softly modeled characters, softly lit environments, and not to mention, brilliantly colored world, really nails the somber and melancholic tone the game is going for. There are these spots where you can just sit and Max goes into a small monologue which I think perfectly captures what thegame is about. I'm only through the 1st episode but it as the potential to knock Wolf Among Us off my David Cage throne.
