    [​IMG]The Council: Episode One has already a number of reviews.

    Gamewatcher 8/10
    The Council is off to an excellent, intriguing and suspenseful start, and the minor issues it has didn't really make us enjoy it any less. We're already looking forward to Episode 2, especially after the cliffhanger conclusion which promises to ramp the action up, and that's the best endorsement we can give.

    Techraptor 8/10
    Occasionally rough around the edges, The Council's first episode is a surprisingly entertaining combination of Telltale's episodic adventure games and tabletop RPG elements.

    Gameradar 3/5
    The Council Episode One: The Mad Ones review: "I wondered how characters could believe what was coming out of my mouth"
    Despite its promising new mechanics that make conversation a game of strategy, the interaction between its characters lets The Council episode one down.

    Roobla 3.7/5
    With its RPG-like systems and detailed approach to dialogue, The Council can feel a bit overwhelming but when you've learnt and understood it all, there is something that clicks into place. When it does, The Council is a thoroughly enjoyable game. It is yet to be seen if it will take on the same success as a Walking Dead (2012) or Life is Strange, but the potential is there to be something completely different to the adventure game scene.
