Dispatch review
Exceptional
by Rogueh

Dispatch hooked me the same way a weekend binge-worthy series does. AdHoc manages to revive the Telltale formula—only sharper, funnier, and more emotionally grounded. The superhero rescue team is both hilarious and genuinely touching, and every choice feels like a moral trap (“Should that be the person I send?”). Each episode ends with a perfect cliffhanger that makes it impossible to stop. The writing is razor-sharp, the performances are spot-on, and the game channels the satirical energy of The Boys without drowning in cheap gore. Aside from one annoying puzzle that broke the flow for a moment, the rest is pure narrative joy—smart twists, memorable character arcs, and finales that stick with you. Compared to The Wolf Among Us, Dispatch feels more modern, more comedic, and more confident in its branching structure. I instantly replayed it just to explore all the outcomes. At €39.99 (often discounted from €49.99), it’s a must-play for narrative game fans on PS5 and PC. Full French review: https://rogueh24.fr/test-du-jeu-dispatch/

It's more show than game but the dispatching is sorta fun and the story is great.
