We have carefully picked the very best titles. If you are a fan of the developer we are pretty certain your favorite game will make it into the list. Let’s get right into it.

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones deviates from the regular Telltale Games formula of having 5 episodes. Instead, the game takes place over the span of 6 episodes. Of course similar to other Telltale Games the choices that the players make affect what happens in subsequent episodes.

In addition, what is also very different from other Telltale titles is that now you have 5 playable characters instead of 1 or 2. All of them are trying their best to save their families after being on the losing side of the war.

The game still was enjoyed by plenty of gamers and that is the reason why a sequel was in the talks. The sequel was put on hold in 2017 and then eventually got canceled when Telltale Games closed in 2018.

While there are certainly better options when it comes to which Telltale game to play Game of Thrones is certainly worth trying out. Like we mentioned people do like so you never know you might end up liking it as well. It still made our best Telltale games list even if it is at the bottom.

The Walking Dead Michonne

Michonne is one of the most popular characters in the TV show. Fans were delighted to see that they would be able to shape and alter her story by going through it in a Telltale game. While the game didn’t turn out as good as fans had hoped it’s still very decent. 

Furthermore, unlike most of the best Telltale games, The Walking Dead: Michonne has 3 episodes instead of 5. Now, these are indeed few but fans consider the second episode to be some of the best in Telltale’s series.

The main purpose of the game was to provide further character development for Michonne who fans had grown to like a lot very quickly. In that task, the game surely succeeded it is just that it felt half-baked compared to Telltale’s other titles. 

If you are a fan of Telltale’s The Walking Dead you will enjoy the game. Even if you are coming from the TV series the game will satisfy you.

Bone The Great Cow Race

Now here is a game on our list that is a sequel. Its prequel Bone: Out From The Bonewile was released back in 2005. It didn’t make our list but you can certainly check it out before this one.

The gameplay has the player controlling the three Bone cousins. It feels straight up like a graphic novel or visual novel. The main thing that carries it isn’t its gameplay but it is its entertaining writing. 

Moreover, the only main negative about the game is its short length which can be a turn-off for a lot of gamers. You can finish it in 3 hours on average. That playtime feels especially extra short when compared to almost every other game released in its timeframe. 

Bone: The Great Cow Race is still worth checking out though. Whether it be as a piece of Telltale history or as a regular good short entertaining game, the quality over quantity approach it goes for is what has made it appear on our list.

The story focuses on 5 protagonists one of which returns in The Walking Dead Season Two. It gives a different point of the view on the apocalypse. 400 Days show the players how other people aside from their characters are suffering from the apocalypse.

Furthermore, it is titled “400 Days” because it focuses on a single location where survivors come and leave. It starts from the first day of the apocalypse until the 400th one. 

If you are a fan of Telltale’s The Walking Dead or you are somebody who is now getting into the franchise 400 Days is worth checking out. It is a great DLC story and adds a lot to the overall worldbuilding of The Walking Dead.

Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy

Telltale is no stranger to getting big licenses and they did receive another massive one from Marvel. The game is based on Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy comic book series which takes the reader on an epic adventure throughout the entire galaxy.

Guardians of The Galaxy has nowadays become a quite popular property thanks to the success of its films. Telltale Games released their version back in 2017. It started with an excellent opening that had the fans hooked. 

The game has 5 episodes. As mentioned earlier the opening episode is stellar. It had fans hyped to see more. Telltale’s Guardians of The Galaxy was mainly praised for its great immersive voice acting and fast-paced story. 

Moreover, the main criticism it received was that it followed the exact same formula that other Telltale Games did. Gamers were expecting that they would switch some things up. 

The other and the main disappointing thing was the game’s ending episode. It felt extremely lackluster when compared to the rest of the game. Fans of the movies, and comics, and even those that had loved the game thus far were disappointed with the final episode.

Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy is still a very enjoyable game. The voice acting and story carry the experience. It is nothing special and is exactly like your everyday Telltale games but it is certainly worth checking out.

Pros:

• Marvel’s Guardians of The Galaxy is optimized very well and experiences many hiccups while running.

Back to the Future The Game

It is the original popular time travel adventure story. The movies have an extremely memorable journey. Back to the Future: The game was adapting the first film of the trilogy. That film is considered by many to be the best time travel story.

Furthermore, the insane amount of love the franchise gets from fans is the reason why Telltale Games were extra careful when developing the game. They were doing online surveys to see if the fans were satisfied.

Back to the Future: The game successfully adapted most of the charm of the films with accurate and faithful writing. What made the adaption so accurate was also the fact that the co-writer of the trilogy Bob Gale was working on the game as a writer.

The game was released episodically so fans had to wait before they could continue the story. Telltale Games was obviously very passionate about the IP. They wanted to make sure that they made a truly faithful game.

In addition, all of the dedication paid off. Back to the Future: The game is a very enjoyable product. Passion and care are very evident in the final product.

Pros:

• You have to change your settings after completing every episode, which feels like a chore.
• The inventory in Back to the Future The Game might get rid of some items without any prior notice.

Sam & Max Save The World

Sam & Max: Save The World stayed very faithful to the comics. The visual style perfectly captured the charm of the comics’ and the game was very faithfully written. Its gameplay mainly revolves around solving puzzles and talking to people.

The puzzles are of course fun but challenging. Some would even consider them hard. The writing alongside being faithful is very enjoyable as one would expect from Telltale Games and former LucasArts developers.

In addition, Sam & Max: Save The World is a pretty lengthy game. It takes place over the span of 6 episodes. We are sure that you would enjoy the adventures of the duo. It is an easy recommendation for anybody who loves the charm of classic LucasArts games.

All of these aspects make Sam & Max: Save The World a very memorable game for people who played it back in the day. Also, all of these aspects are the reason why the game made it into our list. Do give it a shot if you are looking for a unique fun well written game.

Pros:

• Some of the puzzles in Save The World can get incredibly frustrating and force you to search for a solution online.
• You might often get stuck at one point in Sam & Max and have a very hard time figuring out what to do next.

Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures

Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures turned out to be a passionate enjoyable game. The game consists of 4 episodes. Through these episodes, players will be controlling both Wallace and Gromit. 

The game was not developed by Telltale Games alone. For it, they partnered up with Aardman Animation. They needed to do that to properly develop the game’s characters and animations. The voice actor for Wallace is replaced but the change is almost seamless. 

It is certainly a very well-done game. Fans of the original franchise will love it. If you can get a hold of it give it a shot.

Pros:

Sam & Max Beyond Time And Space

And the duo returns to grab another spot on our list. Sam & Max: Beyond Time And Space was released after Sam & Max: Save The World. It is a great sequel and improves on a lot of aspects of its predecessor.

The game follows the most common Telltale episode count. It takes place over the span of 5 episodes. All of these are filled with charming interactions and encounters. Each episode improves upon the quality of the one that came before it.

In addition, Sam & Max: Beyond Time And Space was mainly praised for its story. There were pretty much no boring or out-of-place moments in the campaign. If you loved the previous entry there is literally no reason to not play this one. 

We personally loved the game’s charming story and had a blast. That is why we will wholeheartedly recommend you check it out. It is easily one of the best Telltales games. The extra interactions add a lot to the immersion and the captivity of the story.

Batman The Telltale Series

Batman The Telltale Series came out in 2016 on pretty much all the platforms, even on Nintendo Switch and Mobile Devices. The game features 5 episodes. Just like the regular Telltale Games formula all the choices you make alter things in the story.

The game actually introduced a new feature to the repetitive Telltale formula. It was more of an assistance feature rather than a significant gameplay one. The feature was called Crowd Play it allowed players to get help by seeing what choices other players made. 

Furthermore, Batman, The Telltale Series is one of the very few Telltale games with multiple branching paths. That means now your choices actually matter a lot more than they did in other games and they significantly impact the story.

Most fans really enjoyed Telltale’s take on Batman. Some people thought the game felt uninteresting. We certainly had a very fun time with it and will easily recommend it to Telltale fans or Batman fans.

Pros:

• The story in Batman The Telltale Series is great, as it uniquely approaches Batman’s story, which makes the game stand out.
• Batman The Telltale Series has a little bit of focus on combat, which is rare to see in a Telltale game.
• Batman The Telltale Series puts a huge focus on the detective aspects of Batman, which is the best thing about the game.
• The replay value in Batman The Telltale Series is very high because there are various dialogue options you can pick from.

Cons:

• The animations in Batman’s The Telltale Series look awful, especially the walking and face animations.
• You might experience various bugs in Batman The Telltale Series that can interfere with your gameplay.
• The optimization for Batman’s The Telltale Series feels awful.

CSI Deadly Intent

Telltale’s CSI: Deadly Intent came out around the time the show was into its ninth season. The game featured a massive cast of characters. So Telltale Games had to make sure to balance all of them out. This was obviously no small task but they mostly succeeded. 

In addition, the game consists of 5 episodes which are referred to as cases this time around. Also, the game was not published by Telltale Games. Instead, the publishing was handled by Ubisoft. 

Telltale Games developed the game and worked hard to make it as faithful and good as possible. While Ubisoft provided them with the things necessary and then published the title. Both of the companies worked well together and the development wasn’t hindered whatsoever.

It is a vastly different game from what we have come to experience from Telltale Games and yet it feels very familiar. It made our list because it is something very unique and well-made. There are gamers out there who would have a blast with CSI: Deadly Intent.

Pros:

Cons:

• You are very likely to not enjoy CSI Deadly Intent if you are not a veteran fan of the original CSI show.
• The cases in CSI Deadly Intent might not have enough of a challenge as some players would like.
• CSI’s Deadly intent does not do anything unique or ground-breaking that would make it stand out.
• There are not that many gameplay aspects in CSI Deadly Intent, as it feels more like an interactive episode of the CSI show.

Batman The Enemy Within

Here is the direct sequel to Telltale’s Batman: The Telltale Series. Similar to its predecessor it was released on every platform. That includes mobile devices and Nintendo Switch. It is a great sequel and improves upon almost everything. 

The main thing that draws people’s attention to the game. Which was also the main selling point was how much different their version of the Joker was. He was a very complex character and the game took time to thoroughly develop him. 

Batman: The Enemy Within is honestly one of the most unique and emotional Batman stories we have seen outside of the comics. Telltale’s version really adds a lot to the characters and develops them beyond their usual selves. 

It is a Batman game so of course, you will be playing as both Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter ego The Dark Knight Batman. If you love Batman then you must give the game a shot. It easily makes our best Telltale games list.

Pros:

• The story in Batman The Enemy Within is written flawlessly and does a great job of engaging you throughout.

• Bruce Wayne in Batman The Enemy within does not go through any character development at all.

Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People

Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People follows the common Telltale Games five-episode storyline. All the episodes weren’t released at the same time though. People had to wait for other episodes to come out similar to Back To The Future: The Game.

In addition, what was good is that they didn’t have to wait a long time. The game was completed between August and December 2008. That is a significantly shorter timeframe for episode releases when compared to other Telltale games.

If you are the type of gamer who likes to be surprised by entertaining writing. Then Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People is certainly going to be your kind of game. Give it a shot it made our list because of how bizarre and entertaining it is.

Pros:

• If you love Homestar Runner, then Strong Brad’s CG4AP is a must-play game for you.

• The story of Strong Brad’s CG4AP might be a bit disappointing to some players because it is a bit too simple.

The Walking Dead A New Frontier 

Walking Dead A New Frontier has 5 episodes and in all of these, you control the new protagonist, Javier Garcia who we think is a suitable temporary replacement for Clementine. The story focuses on him and his family, how they are surviving the apocalypse and what are their plans.

Furthermore, even though Clementine isn’t the protagonist of the game she is present for most of the game. So if you are just here to see her story progress it definitely does.

The player’s choices still matter and it follows the same old Telltale Games formulae. It is a Telltale The Walking Dead game through and through. The game also features some of the most crucial moments in Clementine’s life.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has great pacing and things kick off really fast. The players will be making pivotal choices in no time. If you haven’t played it yet, give it a shot it is certainly worth checking out.

Pros:

• If you enjoyed Clementine, then you will love A New Frontier, as she is a very important character in the game.
• The graphics in A New Frontier have been greatly improved and offer a lot more details in the environments.
• A New Frontier features several new gameplay mechanics that give you a fresh feel.
• The sound design of A New Frontier is incredible, as a lot of the sounds seem real and high quality.
• The new protagonist introduced in A New Frontier is written very well and many players will enjoy his character.

Cons:

• The choices you get to make throughout A New Frontier do not feel like they impact the story as much.
• A New Frontier features some shocking and dark first chapters, but they abruptly get toned and become a lot more reserved.
• Some of the new characters introduced in A New Frontier might not feel as interesting to you.
• A New Frontier does not have much gameplay and feels more like an interactive comic book.

The Walking Dead Season Two

Some players would argue that there should not have been a sequel to Telltale’s The Walking Dead. They in their own right are correct but we do have multiple sequels and they are all decent. The Walking Dead: Season Two starts off extremely strong.

From the get-go, The Walking Dead: Season Two introduces the player to a lot of new characters. All of these characters seem very unique with their own personal struggles. The players are free to pick some really serious and antagonizing dialogue options. 

In addition, you can truly turn little Clementine into a selfish person. The player can straight up refuse to help characters who are about to die or blackmail people. It feels like a very worthy sequel to the first game and it is until the third episode.

The game just like every other game in Telltale’s The Walking Dead franchise contains 5 episodes. The first 2 episodes are excellent and have a great emotional impact. After the third episode, the game goes downhill. 

It takes the control away from the player and starts killing characters at random with no way to save them. So if you grew attached to some character there is no way to save them. 

This aspect of Telltale’s games is something gamers have always hated and it is present very prominently in The Walking Dead Season Two. Despite all that it is a good game and a good sequel which is why it made it into our best Telltale games list.

Pros:

• The choices you make in The Walking Dead Season 2 matter and lead to different endings, adding a high amount of replay value to the game.
• The decisions you have made in the previous game can be adapted into The Walking Dead Season 2.

• Jane is introduced in The Walking Dead Season 2 and is written flawlessly while being very interesting.

Cons:

• Some of the characters in The Walking Dead Season 2 do not have a lot of depth and end up being forgettable.
• There is a severe lack of a save option in The Walking Dead Season 2, which can be very annoying.
• The ending of The Walking Dead Season 2 might not hit as hard as the ending of the first game.
• There is not much gameplay in The Walking Dead Season 2 except walking around and interacting with your environment.

Tales of Monkey Island

Tales of Monkey Island is a game developed by Telltale Games from a license provided by LucasArts. It is the fifth installment in the Monkey Island franchise. Fans of the franchise waited a long time for the game as it came out after nearly a decade. 

The game is divided into 5 chapters all of which faithfully add to the Monkey Island franchise. It is a wonderful experience from start to finish. If you just got into the franchise don’t miss out on this amazing edition. 

In addition, what also probably added to the success of Tales of Monkey Island was that Dave Grossman directed it. For those who don’t know he is the guy who worked on the first two games in the franchise.

It is a point-and-click game that was a dying genre by the time Tales of Monkey Island came out. It revived the entire genre. Because of all of these impressive things that it achieves Tales of Monkey Island is certainly one of the best Telltale games.

• Tales of Monkey Island features some awful graphics that can ruin the immersion.

The Walking Dead The Final Season

The Walking Dead: The Final Season perfectly concludes Clementine’s story and with that brings an end to Telltale’s The Walking Dead franchise. It starts off strong and it ends strong. Player choices truly and completely matter here.

It reintroduces an old character who has been missing since the first game. They tie it all together really nicely and give a pretty happy ending depending on how you play the game. You can of course aim for the worst possible outcome. 

Moreover, the game turns Clementine into somewhat of a badass and mature character. She is now playing the role of the caretaker that Lee played for her in the original. Everything wraps up nicely and it feels like the right time to end the franchise rather than milking it for no reason.

The story follows Clementine and AJ on their way to find some supplies for themselves. They end up finding something way more important and priceless, a home. 

Then everything goes horribly wrong and Clementine has to fix it all while trying her best to save the people around her. It really is a story that is mainly focused on character relations and how in a cruel post-apocalyptic world you can still find kind people.

Pros:

• The Walking Dead The Final Season features an incredibly emotional narrative that is sure to tear you up.
• The protagonist of the game, Clementine, is incredibly well-written and has massive depth in her character.

• Most of the things feel like all the previous iterations in the series, which can get a bit old.
• The overall length of the game is a bit short, which can be a bit disappointing.

Wolf Among Us

The protagonist of the story Sheriff Bigby Wolf knows that they will blame his kind for the human’s death. That starts off the story with the player trying to find out what happened and who did it.

In addition, just like most of the games on our list Wolf Among Us takes place over the span of five episodes. All of these end in a very suspenseful moment that makes the player continue playing as soon as possible. 

It is a very thrilling ride from start to finish. During the adventures, you run into many familiar characters and almost all of them have been gratifyingly implemented into this world.  The ending is very special and it will have some players very shocked.

The game ends on a cliffhanger. Don’t worry it is a good kind of cliffhanger, not the one which leaves the story incomplete but the one that makes you want a sequel. 

The Wolf Among Us is an awesome murder mystery game with amazing characters and impactful choices. We absolutely love the game and highly recommend it to everybody. It is easily one of the best Telltale games and even one of the best games period.

The Walking Dead season one is one of the original games that popularised the father-daughter dynamic that we see in many games nowadays. Lee is an incredible protagonist who is surrounded by other awesome characters that all feel unique.

Lee and Clementine’s relationship is the highlight of the game. The care that Lee shows towards Clementine is very admirable. He literally treats her like she is his own daughter. Lee tries his very best to keep the group together he serves as an excellent leader.

The zombie game genre had gone very bland so you really needed to create something extraordinary to stand out. Telltale Games managed to make the best ps4 zombie game that we had played in years.

Moreover, some players even think that people should just play The Walking Dead season one and ignore the rest. That is just how good it is. It is easily one of the best Telltale games if not the very best. This is the game that made Telltale Games famous and mainstream.

Pros:

• The Walking Dead Season One allows you to make meaningful choices that have a great impact on the overall story and the characters.
• The voice actors have done an incredible job of portraying the characters’ emotions in the most natural way possible.
• The characters are written very well while being interesting and entertaining.
• The Walking Dead Season One does a great job of executing emotional moments that have made many players cry.
• The cities are designed perfectly and they have a lot of realistic details in them.

Cons:

• The controls in The Walking Dead Season One can be a bit wonky and unsatisfying sometimes.
• Some parts of the story can be a little predictable sometimes, which is disappointing.
• You might not like the ending of The Walking Dead Season One.
• One character, in particular, can become very annoying and illogical at one point.

Tales from the Borderlands

Now we arrive at the best Telltale game in our opinion. Tales from the Borderlands is easily the best Borderlands story. It is filled with incredible humor, lovable characters, and a great story bundled with an awesome soundtrack.

Don’t let the Borderlands name scare you away from this incredible game. It was completely developed by Telltale Games. They did the writing, picked the music, and everything else. Chronologically it takes place after Borderlands 2.

The game follows two protagonists Rhys and Fiona. Both of these are extremely charming and the voice acting for both is really well done. You literally won’t find a single bad-written character in the entire game or even a single bad line of dialogue.

There are wholesome references everywhere and the story literally never gets boring. It has 5 episodes and all of these just keep getting better and better. The chemistry between the characters is also great. 

In addition, the opening sequences of each episode are extremely well-directed backed up with some fitting music. It really feels like you are playing through a passionate product. The player’s choices matter and depending on what you do even the ending changes.

It was a delight to see Rhys return to Borderlands 3 as he has become one of our favorite protagonists very quickly. Tales from the Borderlands is an incredible game, one of the best story games out there, and also one of the best games in general.

Tales from the Borderlands was delisted from storefronts but thankfully it is back again and you can buy it and jump in straight away. It is an easy recommendation. Check it out as soon as you can. Handsome Jack is still as awesome as ever if not better.

Pros:

• Tales from the Borderlands features a very rich story with an interesting plot that keeps you engaged.
• There are a lot of fun and wholesome moments spread throughout Tales from the Borderlands.
• The borderlands art style combines with the Telltale art style perfectly and makes a visually stunning product.
• The pacing of the story in Tales from the Borderlands feels seamless and natural.
• There are a lot of plot twists spread throughout Tales from the Borderlands that are genuinely surprising.
• Some of the action sequences are executed flawlessly and add a lot more excitement to Tales from the Borderlands.

Cons:

• You have to make your choices very quickly while thinking fast, which might not sit well with some players.
• There is not much you can do with the guns in Tales from the Borderlands due to the lack of gameplay.
• Even if you miss a QuickTime event, there is not much consequence to it, which takes away from the excitement.
