TL;DR

Critics praise The Expanse: A Telltale Series for its emotionally charged storytelling, deep character arcs, and dialogue-driven survival mechanics, with standout nods to its moral complexity and ties to the franchise’s universe. However, flaws emerge in its scaled-down scope, predictable choices, and underdeveloped political stakes, leaving some fans craving the TV show’s grandeur. While it shines as a compelling prequel for newcomers and die-hard fans alike, its ambition falls short of the source material’s high-octane politics.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives widespread acclaim for its emotionally resonant storytelling, character-driven narratives, and immersive world-building. Critics like Finger Guns highlight its "mature and grounded story" with "believable motivations," while Gaming Age praises the game’s focus on dialogue choices that shape survival outcomes, adding replayability. The narrative’s connection to the established Expanse universe is a strong suit, with PlayStation Universe noting the tension arising from 2347’s economic disparities and CD-Action appreciating the geopolitical backdrop that enriches character motivations. IGN and GameSpot commend the impactful decisions that drive emotional weight, while GamesRadar+ and Gamereactor UK laud the character arcs and moral dilemmas that deepen player investment. The episodic format, as noted by Generación Xbox, also enhances accessibility for newcomers while offering depth for fans. However, several critics point to shortcomings in scale, pacing, and narrative ambition. Checkpoint Gaming criticizes the "disappointingly small-scale" story compared to the TV series’ high-stakes politics, while Multiplayer.it and SomosXbox cite pacing issues and predictable choices. New Game Network argues the plot lacks imaginative scope, with "negligible impact on the universe," and Games.cz finds the characters engaging but the core mystery underwhelming. Destructoid expresses a desire for post-show storytelling, suggesting the prequel’s relevance feels limited. Additionally, TheGamer and Twinfinite note that fast-paced exposition can overwhelm newcomers, and Eurogamer Germany mentions unexplored aspects of the universe. These critiques highlight a tension between the game’s focus on character depth and its ability to match the series’ broader political stakes. Overall, critics agree that The Expanse: A Telltale Series succeeds as a character-driven prequel with strong decision-making mechanics and emotional resonance, even if it falls short of the TV show’s grander scale. While IGN, GameSpot, and Gamereactor UK praise its ability to stand alone while enriching the universe, others like Checkpoint Gaming and New Game Network feel it lacks the ambition of its source material. The consensus leans toward appreciation for its narrative craftsmanship and integration with the Expanse lore, with many acknowledging its value as a complementary experience rather than a direct rival to the TV series. Despite mixed reactions to pacing and scope, the game’s focus on Camina Drummer’s journey and moral complexity earns it a place as a compelling entry in the franchise.

The gameplay of The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives praise for its improvements over previous Telltale titles, particularly in exploration and narrative depth. Critics like Finger Guns highlight a "step up" in level design, noting larger environments and more freedom of movement, while Gaming Age emphasizes hidden interactions and expanded opportunities for player engagement. The zero-gravity mechanics are frequently lauded, with Metro GameCentral and Gamereactor UK praising the creative navigation through ship interiors and the immersive sense of space exploration. Push Square and Movies Games and Tech commend the blend of interactive cutscenes, light puzzle-solving, and a balanced mix of dialogue choices and quick-time events (QTEs). The game’s focus on branching conversations and decision-making also stands out, with Generación Xbox noting that player choices significantly impact the story, even if the mechanics themselves are not revolutionary. These elements collectively create a more dynamic experience compared to Telltale’s earlier formula. However, several critics point to repetitive mechanics and a lack of innovation as key drawbacks. SomosXbox and Multiplayer.it criticize the game for feeling like a "walking simulator" with minimal environmental interaction, while CD-Action and Eurogamer Germany argue that the gameplay feels simplistic, with shallow puzzles and linear progression. Issues with controls and pacing are also recurring complaints: PCGamesN mentions sluggish movement and camera problems, while Gfinity and IGN note imprecise QTEs and combat that lacks depth. New Game Network and TheGamer highlight the monotony of repetitive tasks and rushed decision-making, with the latter criticizing "binary choices" that fail to offer meaningful consequences. Additionally, Games.cz and TRG point out that short episodes undermine character development, leaving some mechanics underexplored or unfulfilling. Overall, critics agree that The Expanse: A Telltale Series represents a step forward for the franchise but remains tethered to its familiar formula. While Finger Guns, Gaming Age, and Gamereactor UK celebrate its expanded exploration and narrative-driven gameplay, others like SomosXbox and CD-Action find it lacking in innovation and depth. The game’s zero-gravity mechanics and branching dialogue are seen as standout features, but issues with repetition, control responsiveness, and pacing temper its overall impact. Despite mixed reactions, the consensus leans toward viewing it as a solid entry for fans of narrative-driven experiences, even if it doesn’t fully break from Telltale’s established patterns. As Cultured Vultures and Destructoid note, while some elements feel unpolished, the emphasis on player choice and story immersion keeps the experience engaging for those who prioritize narrative over gameplay novelty.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives widespread praise for its visual design, particularly in its environments and atmospheric storytelling. Critics highlight the game’s immersive space settings, with PlayStation Universe noting "gorgeous zero-g set pieces" and Push Square commending the "extensive and detailed environments" that feel worth exploring. The game’s art direction is lauded for balancing realism and stylization, as IGN Portugal emphasizes "detailed character expressions" and CD-Action praises "cinematic shots and a moody color palette." ZTGD and Adventure Game Hotspot highlight the faithful replication of the show’s aesthetic, with recognizable ship designs and easter eggs. Additionally, Destructoid calls it "the most visually beautiful Telltale game yet," while GameSpot notes "high-quality, realistic graphics" that enhance immersion in the sci-fi universe. However, several critics point to technical and artistic shortcomings. Finger Guns criticizes the "not the best" character models, while Games.cz mentions characters occasionally falling into the "uncanny valley," appearing unsettlingly close to human. PlayStation Universe and TechRadar Gaming note issues like low texture detail up close and "muddy textures" or glitches, respectively. Checkpoint Gaming points out that environments are often limited to repetitive grey space stations, and Twinfinite suggests the visual style makes environments feel less distinct. IGN acknowledges some "rough animations," while New Game Network critiques "strange character designs" and underdeveloped environments, though it praises the visually appealing space battles. Overall, the consensus leans positive, with most critics agreeing that The Expanse represents a significant leap forward for Telltale’s visual standards. While technical flaws and occasional artistic missteps exist, the game’s strengths in environment design, atmospheric storytelling, and faithful adaptation of the source material outweigh its shortcomings. Destructoid, IGN Portugal, and Worth Playing all highlight it as the studio’s best-looking title yet, with PlayStation Universe and TheGamer emphasizing how its visuals effectively enhance immersion. Though some critiques about character models and polish persist, the majority view The Expanse as a visually impressive achievement that aligns well with its sci-fi narrative.

The sound design and music of The Expanse: A Telltale Series received largely positive feedback, with many critics praising its atmospheric depth and emotional resonance. Gaming Age highlighted the "great overall voice acting" and noted Cara Gee’s return as a standout for the lead character, while Metro GameCentral acknowledged the original voices as a key contributor to the game’s sound design. Movies Games and Tech lauded the "excellent sound effects," and PCGamesN called the sound design "one of the best aspects," emphasizing its role in enhancing immersion. The integration of the series’ music, such as the show’s theme song, was also celebrated for adding emotional weight, with SomosXbox noting how original music deepened the game’s connection to the Expanse universe. Adventure Game Hotspot and TheGamer praised specific elements like a "Martian song" and subtle musical scores that enriched the atmosphere, underscoring the effort to create an authentic sci-fi experience. However, several critics pointed out notable flaws in the sound design. Metro GameCentral criticized the "bizarrely poor audio mixing," particularly the jarring high volume during spacesuit dialogue, which undermined key scenes. Gfinity mentioned distracting microphone clipping issues, while Twinfinite highlighted inconsistencies, including "audio glitches" and "unmemorable ambient music." Adventure Game Hotspot noted that sound effects were "occasionally absent," and the musical score was "sparse," suggesting a lack of cohesion in certain areas. Additionally, SomosXbox pointed out that the Spanish localization did not always align with the series’ terminology, which could disrupt immersion for non-English speakers. These technical shortcomings occasionally detracted from the overall experience despite the game’s ambitious audio goals. Overall, the critics’ opinions reflect a balanced view of The Expanse: A Telltale Series’s sound design and music. While many praised its atmospheric contributions, voice acting, and integration of the show’s musical identity—particularly from outlets like PCGamesN, Gaming Age, and TheGamer—others emphasized technical flaws that hindered consistency. The game’s audio elements were widely seen as a strength in fostering immersion, but issues like poor mixing, glitches, and sparse scoring created uneven experiences. Despite these criticisms, the consensus leaned toward appreciation for the effort to replicate the Expanse universe’s sonic identity, with many reviewers acknowledging that the positives—such as Cara Gee’s performance and the show’s thematic music—significantly elevated the game’s narrative and emotional impact.

Cara Gee’s blistering portrayal of Camina Drummer steals the show, with critics hailing her as a standout in The Expanse: A Telltale Series. The voice acting earns universal praise for its emotional authenticity and fidelity to the source material, though uneven supporting performances and occasional impersonators slightly undercut the experience.

The voice acting in The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives overwhelmingly positive praise from critics, with many highlighting its emotional depth and authenticity. Cara Gee’s portrayal of Camina Drummer is consistently lauded as a standout performance, with reviewers like PlayStation Universe noting her “hardened exterior tempered by acerbic wit and simmering rage,” while GamesRadar+ emphasizes how her work enhances the character’s connection to players. The cast’s ability to translate the show’s tone into interactive storytelling is frequently cited, as seen in Checkpoint Gaming’s observation that dialogue feels “very authentic to the TV series.” Several critics, including Movies Games and Tech and GameGrin, describe the voice acting as “spectacular” or “stellar,” with IGN praising its “powerful and emotive” delivery. The return of original actors, particularly Gee, is seen as a key strength, adding credibility and emotional resonance to the narrative. While the majority of reviews celebrate the voice acting, some critiques point to uneven performances. Finger Guns notes that the voice acting “could be improved,” suggesting room for growth, while Adventure Game Hotspot mentions one character’s portrayal feels inconsistent. Gfinity and Twinfinite also note that while Cara Gee shines, other characters vary in quality, with some delivering “impressive” performances and others falling into the “passable” range. PCGamesN adds that secondary characters lack depth, and Games.cz mentions some roles are voiced by impersonators, which could detract from immersion. These criticisms, though minor, highlight that while the lead performances excel, the supporting cast occasionally struggles to match the same level of consistency. Overall, the consensus among critics is highly favorable, with the voice acting being a significant strength of The Expanse: A Telltale Series. The majority of reviews, including those from Gaming Age, Metro GameCentral, and TechRadar Gaming, emphasize its role in enhancing character development and narrative immersion. While there are occasional critiques about supporting characters or impersonators, these do not overshadow the widespread acclaim for Cara Gee’s performance and the cast’s ability to bring the universe to life. As IGN and GameSpot note, the voice acting contributes meaningfully to the game’s emotional core, making it a key factor in its success despite minor imperfections. The positive reception underscores the importance of strong vocal performances in shaping player engagement and fidelity to the source material.

The technical performance of The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives generally positive feedback across its platforms, with notable improvements over previous Telltale titles. On PS5, critics like Gaming Age praise the game’s smooth performance without visual issues or bugs, while Metro GameCentral highlights it as the "most polished Telltale experience yet" with enhanced character models and visuals. PlayStation Universe commends its use of Unreal Engine 4, calling it the best-looking Telltale title to date. For Xbox Series X, Generación Xbox notes stable high-resolution performance at 60fps, and Movies Games and Tech appreciates responsive controls and intuitive markers. On PC, multiple reviewers, including CGMagazine, Cultured Vultures, and GameSpew, emphasize a more polished experience with resolved technical issues compared to earlier Telltale games, while GameSpot and Worth Playing acknowledge smooth performance without major hiccups. However, platform-specific challenges persist. On PS5, Metro GameCentral criticizes inconsistent audio mixing, which detracts from immersion. For Xbox Series X, Multiplayer.it points to lingering issues with zero-gravity movement mechanics, and SomosXbox reports occasional bugs like checkpoint restarts or lost collectibles. On PC, the criticisms are more varied: Adventure Game Hotspot highlights clunky dialogue interactions and pacing, while Eurogamer Germany and Shacknews note frustrating design choices like unclear checkpoints and unskippable cutscenes. Additionally, GamesRadar+, PCGamesN, and TheGamer mention technical hiccups such as clunky controls, camera issues, and glitches, though these are often described as minor compared to the game’s overall polish. Overall, critics agree that The Expanse: A Telltale Series represents a significant step forward in technical stability for the franchise. While PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are praised for their visual fidelity and performance consistency—particularly Generación Xbox’s 60fps frame rate and PlayStation Universe’s Unreal Engine 4 visuals—the PC version, though improved, still faces some technical hurdles. Despite these issues, many reviewers, including GameSpew and CGMagazine, emphasize that the game’s performance is notably more refined than previous Telltale titles. The mixed feedback on PC underscores that while the core experience is smoother, minor bugs and design quirks remain, but they do not overshadow the game’s strengths. Across all platforms, the consensus leans toward a technically solid release with fewer frustrations than expected from the studio’s earlier work.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives praise for its replay value driven by branching narratives and player agency, with multiple critics highlighting the impact of choices on story outcomes. Finger Guns and Gaming Age emphasize that subtle decisions create different paths, while PlayStation Universe and Movies Games and Tech note that exploring collectibles and alternate story avenues enhances replayability. The episodic structure is also seen as a plus, with Metro GameCentral and SomosXbox pointing out that the short length of each episode makes repeated playthroughs more accessible. Additionally, critics like ZTGD and Cultured Vultures appreciate the weighty decisions and their potential consequences, suggesting fans of Telltale’s style will find value in revisiting the game to experience varied character arcs and outcomes. However, several critics express concerns about limitations in replayability due to narrative constraints. Destructoid and Eurogamer Germany argue that the story feels linear, with choices having minimal impact on the overall trajectory, while Games.cz and New Game Network cite a lack of significant decisions or pacing issues that make repeated playthroughs tedious. The final episode is frequently criticized for being underwhelming or short, as noted by Metro GameCentral and PlayStation Universe, which reduces the incentive to revisit later chapters. Additionally, Multiplayer.it and TheGamer suggest that predictability—especially for fans of the source material—diminishes the appeal of replaying, while IGN Portugal and TechRadar Gaming question whether the limited number of major choices justifies multiple playthroughs. Overall, critics are divided but lean toward moderate replay value, acknowledging the game’s choice-driven mechanics and episodic design as strengths while critiquing its narrative constraints. While outlets like CGMagazine, GameSpot, and VideoGamer champion the game’s potential for varied outcomes and decision-based storytelling, others such as Destructoid and Eurogamer Germany highlight its shortcomings in creating meaningful branching paths. The consensus suggests that while the game offers enough variation to justify one or two replays—particularly for newcomers or those invested in the franchise—the lack of substantial consequences for choices and a predictable ending may limit broader appeal. Ultimately, the replay value hinges on player interest in exploring narrative possibilities rather than a deeply transformative experience.

The Expanse: A Telltale Series receives widespread praise for its narrative depth, emotional engagement, and faithful adaptation of the source material. Critics highlight its compelling storytelling, strong character development, and immersive atmosphere, with many noting its ability to capture the spirit of The Expanse universe. Finger Guns emphasizes its emotional moments and potential, while Gaming Age calls it a “solid attempt” to reestablish Telltale’s legacy. Metro GameCentral lauds it as one of the studio’s strongest efforts, praising its alignment with the show’s essence, and PlayStation Universe applauds its engaging characters and improved visuals. Push Square and Checkpoint Gaming commend its tight storytelling and authentic portrayal of Camina Drummer, while ZTGD and Cultured Vultures celebrate it as a “fantastic companion piece” and a successful reinvention of Telltale’s mechanics. These reviews underscore the game’s strengths in narrative design, voice acting, and world-building, making it a standout entry for fans of the franchise and storytelling-driven games. However, several critics point to significant shortcomings in gameplay innovation, pacing, and structural depth. Metro GameCentral notes that while the game “captures the spirit of the universe,” it fails to evolve Telltale’s “tired gameplay design.” Checkpoint Gaming criticizes its short, linear structure and low-stakes narrative, while Generación Xbox highlights a lack of innovation and underdeveloped characters. Multiplayer.it and SomosXbox point to pacing issues and narrative inconsistencies, with the latter calling it “unlikely to appeal to a wider audience.” Adventure Game Hotspot and CD-Action criticize superficial storytelling and limited gameplay diversity, and New Game Network delivers a stark negative assessment, calling it “disappointing” due to slow pacing and unlikable characters. Even positive reviews acknowledge flaws: Shacknews mentions dated mechanics, TechRadar Gaming points to visual polish issues, and TheGamer notes frustrations with repetitive choices. These critiques collectively highlight the game’s reliance on familiar Telltale formulas without substantial evolution. Despite mixed feedback, the overall consensus leans toward appreciation for The Expanse: A Telltale Series as a solid return for the studio, particularly for fans of the franchise or narrative-driven games. While critics like IGN and GamesRadar+ praise its “compelling narrative” and “character depth,” others such as Destructoid and Eurogamer Germany acknowledge its potential but note it falls short of being a groundbreaking experience. The game’s ability to balance emotional storytelling with genre expectations earns it recognition as a worthwhile, if imperfect, entry in Telltale’s catalog. While some reviewers, like New Game Network, find it lacking, the majority agree that it successfully captures the essence of The Expanse and delivers an engaging, if occasionally flawed, experience. The critical reception suggests it is best suited for dedicated fans rather than newcomers, but its narrative strengths ensure it remains a memorable addition to both the franchise and Telltale’s legacy.

TL;DR

A tale of two halves: The Expanse: A Telltale Series dazzles with rich storytelling, emotional depth, and faithful world-building, earning praise as a standout narrative experience. But its reliance on stale gameplay mechanics, rushed pacing, and underdeveloped characters undermines its potential, leaving fans divided—celebrated as a heartfelt return for the franchise, yet criticized for failing to evolve Telltale’s formula.
