The Fantastic Four: First Steps was met with good reviews from fans and critics alike, generally seen asthe best outing for Marvel’s first family yet - even if that’s not saying much. However, that might not translate to box office success, as it’s now suffering from the same problem as Thunderbolts.

While there are Disney animated movie adaptations or other live-action films, playing through fairy tale worlds is an entirely different experience. The tales told by brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm, along with stories from other cultures, have put game developers into creative gear to try and turn them into something often darker and more horrifying....
