Here's what the critics are saying about Telltale's Bone games...
Graphically, Bone is a beautiful title. Very cartoonish in style, each character is rendered perfectly. Thorn is stunning in a simple fashion. Gran'Ma Ben is not stunning, but she is detailed. The Bone's look like bones. Even the cows are drawn to perfection.
Score: 8.6/10 | IGN
This sequel is certainly an amazing piece of work. The voice acting is tremendous and the visuals are just fabulous. ... It's really hard to go wrong with the Bone games if you are looking for something that is a fun and challenging mix of old school adventure and current technology.Score: 8.0/10 | Game Tunnel
