Telltale's The Walking Dead

[Overview] Telltale's The Walking Dead was one of the biggest game releases of 2012. It was a massive change of pace from the typical zombie game of that era, being more slow and story driven rather than a fast action packed shooter. While the later seasons ended up being fairly lackluster, The Walking Dead's season 1 stands above the rest as being the best game in the series by far. [Positives] - Great story. - Great soundtrack. - Great characters and voice acting. - Incredible, bleak atmosphere. - Lots of ambiguity and morally grey choices. - Nice graphics and a great art style inspired by the comics. [Negatives] - Most choices don't affect the overall story in major ways. The core story is totally linear, it's only some smaller details that are affected. - The 400 Days DLC was supposed to tie in deeply with the second season, but most of these ideas were scrapped during development. It ended up only being a small part of season two. - The gameplay isn't very deep or difficult. [Conclusion] While The Walking Dead may be somewhat of a 'movie game', it's also one of the best examples of a video game story done right. Definitely a must play (or watch). 8.5/10

enjoyed this more than i thought i would

Bought the whole walking dead franchise in a bundle sale, already leery about these kind of games being not really games but just novels with silly interactions to make the player feel like they are connected, like opening doors as actions lol but I found myself enjoying the playthrough, the story drew me in. Perhaps it was my terrible choices that made for heart wrenching scenes, whatever it was I found myself invested in the characters. Pros: Great graphics, a bit blurry and nondescript sometimes but overall nice. Decent voice acting and an immersive music score that doesnt intrude. Some jump scares, some terrible scenes and choices. All good. Story line superb. Cons: more times than not I found myself fidgeting with the UI in order to get interactive icons to display, which they tended to have a very small window to activate with a strange lag, so if you swept your mouse too fast the icon wouldnt show, etc. In fact, the whole game is learning how to game the system to proceed the story, getting the right angle to show interactions, learning how to manage the insane quick time events etc. lag is very problematic with combat actions, often by the time you got the mouse moved/centered to display the action it was too late. Biggest problem with the game is unskippable animations, dialogue and scenes which was very annoying after death, or trying to find solutions to puzzles and hadnt yet found the way to jiggle the game to display the actionable icon or dialogue. As for dialogue choices, sometimes the reactions just didnt go with the actual dialogue or event. often times the results of choices made no sense, felt scripted and made to create a linear drama. you cant play either good or evil as the game forces the results into a same linear path. still.... one wants to try. even with those cons, the main story keeps you invested in the game and indeed, like me, wanting to replay to see if you can keep a person alive etc.

Best of the serie so far

Simply the best. Deep connections, heartbreaking moments, very tense scenes. This game is a psychological pleasure for everybody. Though it's not a coincidence that is rated 18+.

Almost bought a tear to my ear.

I don`t cry. I have a daughter that looks much like the little girl your protagonist meets in the game. I knida look a bit like the protagonist too. The people you meet are generally realistic with their different characters and excellent voice acting/expressions. You will have very, very hard decisions to make. You`ll have to go through some serious bad stuff. I didn`t cry by the end, but I could`ve.
