The Escapists: The Walking Dead

Not my kind of game

First of all, let me say that I am not familiar with 'the escapists' and never liked Minecraft, at all. The style used in this title just reminded me very much of that game and this format just doesn't work for me, especially for a zombie game like The Walking Dead. I haven't finished the game and I won't play it again. The only thing that I liked about this title is the loading screen ambiance music. Just to sum up what's wrong with this game for me: 1. The style 2. The controls, it just doesn't feel intuitive. you'll be pressing buttons and clicking left and right to do a single thing. 3. There is a lot happening in terms of interfaces and reading. A lot of it is repetitive. Dialogues and interface boxes are vollied at you. It's hard to tell what's important and what isn't. The music in most cases also gives a sense of unnecessary urgency while you try to figure this all out. 4. The cutscenes look horrible, imagine a chibi pixelart character stretched 100 times its original size. I have no idea what's even being displayed. Just a black screen with some text would be way cleaner. There's probably more, but alas I was looking for a zombie title and this isn't it for me so I quit. This game is more so designed for people who like the escapists probably and are familiar with The Walking Dead, but aren't invested nto the zombie genre. (If you're looking for some real zombie action on GOG try the Zombie Shooter series, or even Zombie Night Terror which is a very compelling game)
