This episode focuses on an alternate reality. In which a dystopian government has complete control over Hill Valley. It's very similar in to world's presented in "Demolition Man" and "1984". Strong female characters with depth that aren't Mary Sues. The story is real solid, too. It has a message, but it doesn't get preachy.

I'm not sure what else to say. Gameplay is similar to the first two episodes. There's some new music in this entry, and it's great. The voice acting is the same quality as the previous episodes.

The only bad thing I can say is that I ran into a lot of graphic problems. Some things would fail to load properly. Especially animations right after scene transitions. Overall it was minor, and didn't take away from the experience.

A bit slow in that mid 2000's point and click adventure way but it's fun and feels like it could have been back to the future 4 or a mini series.

Very cool story, would honestly make a better movie than a game. The controls are pretty crap and there isn't much "gameplay" to speak of. I think the voice acting and story more than make up for it as Telltale games tend to be more story focused. If you like Back to the Future and wish maybe there was one more movie, you will like these.

This one was much darker than the previous ones. Also in this one, the story continues in the upcoming episode. I really enjoyed this one especially thanks to the darker tone.

Preface:
Each review is for an individual episode. But a rough ranking is here:

Episode 1 - 8/10
Episode 2 - 9/10
Episode 3 - 10/10 [Current Review]
Episode 4 - 6/10
Episode 5 - 10/10

The environment in Back to the Future's third episode came out of left field. I'm sure people can say it's sharing an idea from one of the movies, which is somewhat true. But I'd say this episode is probably the least like any of the movies, and yet it's still great. The episode starts off with a huge red flag (plot-wise) and your tension builds up as you keep meeting people and learn what's happening.

This episode in particular was where I started feeling like these episodes together could represent what would have made another great movie for Back to the Future.

Excellent point-and-click advendture in the old school, good time travel story, superb nostalgia and excellent voice acting.

Great series for BTTF! Made me go back and rewatch the movies. The voice acting is great, and the games are fun and a tad challenging at times. Perfect combo. <3

An example of what can happen when game designers love their customers, their job and the source material they get.

This is a love letter to the BttF series and really expands on the what happpened after the movies in a great way. Which maybe one of the greatest challenges when something decides to pick up where the movies/tv show/books etc end.

This was done with care and it really feels like it is the true after story to the BttF francise.

10/10 if you like the orignial series and adventure games
7/10 if you're looking for gripping gameplay

(*** of 5) As tell tale games go, this one also has an interesting stories with some unexpected turn. Still, it couldn't quite hook me. The game felt more like a point and click game. If you like that, go ahead and play it, if you don't, let it be. I really loved "life is strange" and compared to that, "Back to the future" feels awkward. Maybe it's just the outdated graphics, but i doubt it. The story just couldn't really make me dive into it... and the end was rather strange...

Since Steam splits every episode of Back to the Future into a separate store page, unlike newer Telltale games, I'm just putting my review for the entire game here.

A phenomenal adventure game that not only features great puzzles, but is driven by a funny, heatwarming story and incredible acting. It's the best sequel that Back to the Future has ever managed to produce, and made me genuinely care about the original movie even more.

A very nice extension to the established storyline. Great fun with an good sense of humor and timing without too many nods. Nice twist on things that could have happened.

This isn't so much an adventure game as an interactive story, but it's a good bit of fun and easy to enjoy.

The puzzle solutions are sometimes quite unobvious, leaving you hovering the mouse over every conceivable object on the screen or simply using the hint system. That's not to say that this game is challenging by any means, on the whole it's fairly easy to breeze through each episode in one or maybe two sittings.

Fans of Back to the Future will love it. Fans of adventure games, you may want something a bit more challenging. Still a great purchase though, and easily a steam sale must-have.

Citizen Brown has the most intriguing story so far, but it's still short, easy and holds few surprises for adventure game veterans.

For fans of the movies, there really isn't much of a choice other than to play this series. "Back to the Future: The Game" is one of TellTale's earlier games, and it shows, with very limited choices and a linear story. The story itself also hews close to the original trilogy, down to the same feel when it comes to the final resolution.

Voice acting isn't bad. Christopher Lloyd is around to voice Doc Brown, and Michael J. Fox makes a cameo near the end. They got other voice actors to play everyone else (including Marty McFly and the various Biffs), but they do a decent job. The music is great, right out of the movies. To be honest, if you go into this game expecting to be playing the movie (or an episode of the animated series), you'll know what you're in for.

I really enjoyed this series back when it first came out, but it isn't as good as TellTale's later attempts.

If you loved the movies and enjoy the Telltale style, play it. This is older so it's not the same as, say, Wolf Among Us, (more linear) but it's lovely anyway.

This is a freaking AWESOME game! Did a playthrough of it on my YouTube channel, and loved every second of it. It's a great point and click adventure. If you loved the Back To The Future Movies, than you'll LOVE this game! They even have the voices from the actual movie in the game. I rate it 10/10!

I only recommend this game on sale to fans of the BTTF movies. It is a a bare bones point & click linear adventure game with many mildly infuriating components, but the story is a faithful 5 episode sequel to the BTTF movies. You play as Marty McFly in 1985 which starts with an homage to the first movie, but takes place after the 3 movies. I did enjoy this third episode, which poses an interesting question about Doc Brown's life, and it fit well within the greater story.

This episode really starts to pick things up. The best cliffhanger so far too. Can't wait to play through what happens next episode.

What's this game about you ask? SIMPLE
Time Paradoxes
Alternate timelines
A time machine built out of a deLorean
and a simple quote, "GREAT SCOTT!!"
