Do you also miss the exploration and puzzles from the older telltale games?

I really love the first season of The Walking Dead...and also the "Wolf among us" but for now I'm a bit jaded about their story-driven games. I own nearly every Telltale game - most of them as retail-editions (all sam and Max seasons, ToMI, Wallace and gromit, Strong Bad, Back to the future...) but the newer ones - I don't know - I've lost interest in them.
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand, that most of the fanbase love the story-driven experience - and also do I...but a little bit of challange would be nice...a few puzzles to get you deeper into the story and telltale games had really clever and original puzzles in their older games. So I really hope for a franchise like "Indiana Jones" where you can mix great story-telling, fun-action, exploration and puzzles.
What do you guys think...do you also miss a bit of "intellectual"-challange ;) and exploration (like in TWD season 1)? Maybe take a look at "Life is strange" - I think they've made the perfect mixture of story telling and exploration with good (easy) puzzles to solve.

    There's a bit of the puzzle situation you're talking about in Batman when you have to investigate a scene and figure out what really went down.

    Okay...maybe I should try Batman - for only 15 euros on steam I can't do anything wrong ;)

    I miss the mainly puzzle-driven games, and a lot of other people do as well, but most of them have left. Telltale thinks they can make more money with licensed games that don't make the player think too hard.

    Not to mention, they misinterpreted Walking Dead Season 1's success as having been because it felt like an interactive TV show when it was actually the slower paced, interactive parts that people liked. :/

    Yes yes yes! I really miss those. I remember thinking how genius the train scene was in TWDG S1E4, and the part in S1E1 where you have to get to the girl in the motel was a good one too. Telltale pls incorporate more puzzles into TWDG s3! They've started reincorporating hubs and stuff, so I feel like reincorporating puzzles should be the next step.

    I miss the exploration, but i can really do without puzzles. I'm glad they don't put much puzzles in their games now.

    Puzzle now : Here you have this square with invisable walls ; Get this car out of the way with these extremely convenient materials that just happen to be around.

    I really miss the mix of puzzles & the slow pace exploration as well..

    Well yeah, I do miss some light puzzle scenes. But as already stated, Batman does include some easy scene solving, which is cool. Still, I´m coming from the PC Days where Lucas Arts did release those quite hard Adventure Games, so I would enjoy a few puzzles every now and then.

    Not really. Playing the Walking Dead season 1 feels like I have to do chores before getting to what I actually care about.

    Walking Dead S1 was my first TT game and the only TT game that I've played before that one was Back to the Future.

    I loved that game, but to complete it and get every achievement I had to use a guide. I am going to get Jurassic Park today and that's the only old TT game that I want and haven't played yet. I love QTE moments so I'm sure I'll like the game more than what critics thought of it.

    I don't like puzzles in games, so count me out on them returning to that. It didn't help that after all of these years I've been used to QTE moments in TT games, so when Kid Bif was shooting at me in the truck, I was freaking out, only to realize that I can't die.

    Oh yes I remember how much I loved trying to get the damn train aworkin...not much. It was the conversations that I loved...so more conversations is what I want maybe a puzzle or two. But I am loving season 3.

    Batman has some puzzles where you have to link things together and do some detective work it's kind of cool, of the telltale games I have played it is my favorite

    At least you got to the train. For years I could never shoot the fucking bandits. xD

    I don't like puzzles in video games because I suck at it so much. I didn't play Resident Evil 0 and 1 for puzzles.
