The Wolf Among Us Remastered Reviews

The 30 Oct 2026 snapshot shows Metacritic PS5 at 85 from 11 reviews, Steam at 91 percent positive from 148 reviews, and PlayStation at 4.95/5 from 373 ratings. Each store score is a single-source snapshot from that store. IGN gives 8/10 and PlayStation LifeStyle gives 9/10. GameDaily reports OpenCritic 84; a matching direct listing was not verified, so that is a reported figure, not a confirmed live score.

Scores, with the disagreement left visible

The PS5 Metacritic card now says 85 from 11 reviews, matching GameDaily's 85 report. Pure Xbox reported PC 86 and PS5 85 on 29 Oct. A separate captured card showed 84 from 8 reviews without a reliable platform label. These are different dated samples, not numbers to average.

Who should spend the money

New players get the recommendation. IGN and PlayStation LifeStyle both still like the mystery, and the critic cards sit in the mid-80s. The complaints are stiff animation and deleted scenes that look unfinished.

If you finished the original and only want the plot, the reviews do not call this essential. The owner discount and the extras are the reason to return. Trophy hunters get a short list: PowerPyx calls the platinum a 1/10 difficulty and about seven hours plus.

Noir Mode splits people. Some reviews call it more than a filter. The roundup also says the timer is harder to read and that the neon look is the thing you lose. I am not picking a winner.
