The Expanse A Telltale Series Episode 1 – PS5 Review

The Expanse is the first title since the rebirth of Telltale Games. They are continuing with the format of an episodic adventure that has worked well for them in the past. To The Brig or The Airlock Based on James S.A. Corey’s popular book series and TV show, The Expanse. Players can now explore this extraordinary world like never before, taking on the perspective of Camina Drummer. When it was announced that The Expanse was being made into a Telltale series it piqued my interest and went into my book of games to keep an eye on. Gameplay Just a heads up, the game's storyline takes place before the TV series, so it's unnecessary to watch the show to enjoy the game fully. It is up to you to make the story choices, your actions as Drummer will shape the world around you. Episode On...

But where's the fun in that? Gameplay Though Gunsmith Simulator doesn't focus on a real story, the player does receive occasional emails from their Grandpa. The first email says that your Grandpa wants you to take over a Gunsmith workshop and that it won't be easy. He also sends a Colt M1911 that...
