The Expanse Episode 2 Highlights Flaw in Telltale’s Storytelling Approach

The Expanse: A Telltale Series marks the triumphant return of Telltale Games, following its acquisition by LCG Entertainment. The series is developed by Deck Nine Games, known best for its work on the Life is Strange franchise. Telltale’s approach to both gameplay and decision-making has evolved in its time away, with The Expanse focusing primarily on relationship-building and exploration. However, the freedom of choice struggles alongside this approach. Episode 2 highlights a flaw in Telltale’s implementation of this freedom, as many players are unaware that their minor decisions during exploration have the biggest impact on the series narrative.
