DISPATCH REVIEW (did telltale blow it?)

Top 26 Most Anticipated of 2026 - https://youtu.be/xKD1N4kS6og It was only about a month ago that it looked like Dispatch might end up releasing in 2026, so we added it to our Most Anticipated Top 26 of 2026. If Dispatch is up your alley, then the rest of list might be too! PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A REVIEW IN PROGRESS and only covers the first two episodes. We will update review accordingly as new episodes are released. Hopefully, Dispatch will prove that the problem with Telltale games wasn’t due to the lack of talent, but poor vision and mismanagement, which is ironic since Dispatch is a game about managing relationships with other humans and misfit superheroes. Like a phoenix, AdHoc was formed in 2018 by some of the most talented people at Telltale who were abruptly thrown away weeks before the studio imploded and filed bankruptcy. Dispatch is their debut and if the first two episodes are any indication, it shows that greatness can’t be rushed and the downfall of Telltale wasn’t from lack of talent as Dispatch features excellence across the board in a binge worthy experience that blurs the line with prestige TV. Within just the first few episodes of Dispatch, AdHoc displays their willingness to learn from the past and utilizes their talent to evolve the genre. Instead of licensing legacy IP, they have dreamt up an incredible universe that is fully realized thanks to a timeless art style that the studio is calling Western Anime and a fantastic soundtrack that gives it a premium feel. The experience is captivating thanks to a deeply engaging narrative anchored by phenomenal performances that is perfectly balanced with a unique gameplay that emphasizes genre strengths.
