[Music]
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
best telltale games
thanks for that just now yeah well now
we're even
[Music]
well i guess we should de-hypnotize
these poor saps again and be on our way
let me
you know how i adore gratuitous violence
for this video we're looking at the best
video games released by the original
telltale game studio between 2004 and
the company's end in 2018.
how many favorites you think should be
remembered let us know in the comments
section
number 10 batman the telltale series
you're wrong about me i'd have put him
in jail
so unless you're making a comment on the
justice system
i'm afraid you've been misinformed there
have been so many different takes on
batman and his vast rogues gallery it
would be easy to write off telltale's
version as having nothing new to offer
but this couldn't be further from the
truth
with troy baker now donning the cape and
cal as bruce wayne the series didn't
just bring in
fresh takes on classic villains like the
penguin and two-face
but also introduced a new villain all
its own lady arkham
the mysterious puppet master is obsessed
with dragging the wayne family name
through the mud and revealing the crimes
of bruce's late father
and she'll go to any lengths to achieve
this goal a worthy match for the world's
greatest detective
number nine minecraft story mode
would you rather fight a hundred
chicken-sized zombies
or ten zombie-sized chickens
just to be clear you wouldn't have any
weapons or
armor so i'd had to go with the giant
chickens not because i want to or
because i think it would be easy but
because
they would be an abomination since its
beginning minecraft has been one of the
most popular video games out there
it's great for both young kids and
casual players but has deep
complex systems as well something for
everyone the only thing minecraft is
missing is a story and in 2015
telltale games decided to rectify this
minecraft story mode ended up being a
surprise hit
letting players customize protagonist
jesse's appearance within the game's
blocky visual style
before sending them off on an admirable
adventure to save the world
fun for all the family story mode became
one of telltale's most popular offerings
thanks for that just now yeah well now
we're even
number eight back to the future the game
jesus christ doc you disintegrated
einstein
calm down money i didn't disintegrate
anything the molecular structure above
height side of the car are completely
intact
where the hell are they the appropriate
question is when the hell are they
of the two big ips telltale won before
the walking dead back to the future was
by far the most successful the other was
jurassic park and the less said about
that the better
back to the future roped in the original
cast of the beloved movies including a
cameo in the final episode from michael
j
fox for a story that wouldn't be a miss
in a fourth film
doc is stranded in the 1930s and marty
needs to go rescue him
in the process accidentally tricking the
young emmett brown into falling for a
girl who's both bad for him
and the residents of hill valley with
time travel shenanigans and lots of
puzzles it's a perfect
back to the future game no but i think
you've got
bigger problems right now great scott
number seven guardians of the galaxy the
telltale series
who is this loser call me
star-lord i'm sure you've all heard of
me
especially you definitely not
no nope well
now you have please stop winking
[Music]
one of the biggest and most mainstream
ips telltale ever got their hands on was
certainly guardians of the galaxy with
the game releasing the same year as the
second movie
though it would have been easy to make a
clean cut adaptation of what the wildly
successful mcu was doing with star-lord
and company
telltale once again didn't pick the path
most traveled and put their own spin on
the comics
flipping the mcu on its head the very
first episode saw them face down
thanos himself before turning their
sights on something far
deadlier relationships telltale deserves
a lot of props for going their own way
with such a well-known franchise
to the best family a guy could ask for
strangest looking one in the galaxy hey
i'll take it
number six batman the enemy within
see there wasn't even a bullet in the
chamber
oops we briefly saw the joker going by
the name john doe
in the first season of batman but by
season two he finally became the
character we all know and love
and again it was a fresh take now joker
is largely an
ally for batman depending on whether the
player decides to trust him or not
which is a pretty big ask for anyone
familiar with the lore
the game's true villains are quickly
revealed to be a sinister agency led by
amanda waller
you'll be shaping not only bruce but
those around him including whether the
joker will become a good guy or a bad
guy or whether gotham even needs batman
at all
number five tales of monkey island do
you mind
i'd be in the middle of an unholy
ceremony here
unholy this
unholy this yeah i know but he didn't
give me much to work with
hey the monkey island series has had a
rough go of it over the years with many
sequels never quite living up to the
quality of the first two
but telltale still made a formidable
attempt with the fifth game in the
series that remains one of their
strongest releases
hapless hero guybrush threepwood once
again goes toe to toe with the undead
pirate lechuck whose demonic undead form
is quickly turned back into a human
the central conflict is guybrush's
attempts to determine whether the new
human lechok is as trustworthy as he
wants you to believe
it was a comforting return to form for
monkey island and was telltale at its
very best
oh come on stupid
boxed hand
number four tails from the borderlands
loader bot
put the car down
another instance of telltale putting
their own spin on a well-established
video game series came when they took on
gearbox's popular looter shooter
franchise
in typical borderlands style the
protagonists are a pair of rogues who
eventually end up working together
to find a new vault in the galaxy and
steal the treasure within
and of course they end up coming to
blows with the series iconic villain
handsome jack who has a nefarious scheme
as always
if you like the space western feel of
borderlands but aren't too keen on
looter shooters
tales from the borderlands is a
masterful take on the established lore
this ladies and gentlemen is the
gorgeous project
and it's gonna lead us to evolve
and then i'll probably kill you number
three
sam and max save the world when are we
gonna get another case sam
surely the local lawbreakers must miss
our esoteric brand of personalized
criminal justice
patience is a sharp razor a swallow
little buddy
telltale's first big hit after lucasarts
eventually lost the rights to develop
video games based on the sam and max
comic books
they picked up the slack and made this
cult classic unlike later telltale games
each of this game's episodes were
standalone stories more akin to an
actual procedural with a different
iconic case to investigate with each new
installment
every case is just as wacky and
enjoyable as sam and max veterans have
come to expect
and in december 2020 a remaster of the
game was released
so you can either experience it for the
first time or dive right back into the
nostalgia
well i guess we should de-hypnotize
these poor saps again and be on our way
let me you know how i adore gratuitous
violence
number two the walking dead do you know
how to do this
nope no idea i'm not much of a stylist
you know
i'm going to look like a boy
but think how much safer you'll be i'd
rather be dead
just now telltale struck gold when the
walking dead season 1 came out in 2012
adapting the original comic books rather
than the tv show which was still
wildly popular at the time the walking
dead introduced that cel-shaded visual
style that would quickly become the norm
for telltale's subsequent games
in this game it was the story of lee a
nuanced protagonist on his way to prison
just as the zombie outbreak is unleashed
upon the world and clementine
a young girl whose parents have died
early on in the chaos
this outstanding story led to clem
becoming one of the most beloved
characters in modern gaming and
certainly in telltale's body
of work what's this thing danny said
it's called a salt lick
yeah but don't lick it it's gross
did you lick it i don't know

number one the wolf among us i'm the law
here
not you now tell me who did it
you think i'm scared of you
you're nothing more than enough it
didn't sell as well as the walking dead
but it was telltale's critical darling
tackling the lesser-known fables comics
in the wolf among us
players take on the role of the big bad
wolf now known as bigby
the sheriff of fabletown where magical
characters from the world's fables and
stories all live together
it's a classic detective story with
bigby investigating some sinister
murders that eventually reveal how deep
the corruption in fable town runs
traditional fairy tales mixed with grimy
1980s new york was a recipe for success
with a gripping investigation full of
twists you'll never see coming
