About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

11. 'The Expanse: A Telltale Series' (PS5, PS4, XSX, XOne, PC)

Based on the popular Amazon Prime sci-fi television series, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a story-driven interactive game.

Cody Medellin: A series of sci-fi novels that deal in equal parts political intrigue and investigative drama. A TV series beloved enough to get another life on a streaming service before bowing out. There is enough of an interest in The Expanse that a narrative adventure game would not only find a wide audience but feels like a perfect fit for the characters and the world. Telltale has a history of making these things work, but there's a big question mark around whether this new Telltale, a company that experienced its own death and resurrection, still has the chops to pull it off. Early trailers looked promising thanks to the art style and the use of a familiar character as the protagonist, but we'll have to wait for the summer to see if this is another acclaimed adventure from the studio.

Tony "OUberLord" Mitera: I've loved Telltale's approach to storytelling, but with The Expanse series, it is the first time that it'll be crafting its tales within a universe that I've been really following. Are we going to have to deal with some repercussions of the Protomolecule on our own? Are we still going to feel the existential dread when we read that a character "will remember that"? I'm happy to find out.

Adam Pavlacka: If you haven't seen "The Expanse" TV show (or read the books), then stop right now and go check it out. As the best hard sci-fi you're going to find on TV, the world of the Expanse is littered with shifting alliances, political backstabbing, and galactic intrigue. Although the main story has been told, the universe is large and the potential for additional stories is unlimited. For the game, Telltale partnered up with actress Cara Gee to show us Camina Drummer's story.
