Dispatch already missed a big opportunity to make my choices matter

We’re now four episodes into Dispatch, the latest narrative adventure created by former Telltale Games writers now at AdHoc Studio, and the superhero story is already coming into focus. Though the choices that players make throughout those chapters haven’t proved too consequential yet, it’s clear that we’re at a turning point. A steamy love story has kicked into high gear, tensions are flaring between heroes, and a grander supervillain arc is likely about to emerge from the shadows. There are plenty of cliffhangers that make it worth coming back week to week, but it’s the promise that players’ choices will shape the story that gives Dispatch its real pull.
