The Walking Dead (2012)

If you like walking dead and being sad that's fine but zombies to me should be thrilling and scary.

This game touched me soo hard! I love the whole series but the first one is an entirely different emotion for me. I want to experience it like the first time again.

Telltale Games are well known for creating great story based games in which the objective is not to murder every soul in sight, collect some hidden treasure or set the fastest time, no, its all about telling a story and letting you decide how that story will end.

With The Walking Dead, Telltale does it again. An amazing game in which I literally cried at the end. When a game can do that to my rotten black heart, that means something.

Because the focus here is based one hundred percent on the story, I will not say anything about it. This is something you need to experience for yourself.

Let me just say that it is themed around the famous comic and TV series: The Walking Dead. That part was obvious, but it also completely original. It has some characters and locations from the comics, but is otherwise completely new and fresh.

You collect different items that you can/must later use to progress. The game is on rail and apart from some mini games and puzzles, it plays itself forward, after the right choice or response has been given. It gives the feeling of an old school point and click game.

The game can end early when making the wrong decision, in which you need to start over. The whole ending and which characters still live and which dies is entirely up to you. Based on your conversation with characters and your actions, it will dramatically impact the outcome. For this reason, you can play the game over again multiple times, and get many different endings.

The Walking Dead from Telltales looks beautiful and makes good use of the cell shading graphics. The sounds and music are nice and fits the game well.

The biggest strong point of this game is the connection that you establish with the characters and especially, the main character. You get really attached to them. You cannot stop playing because you want to know what is going to happen next.

I found the game a little short, but this can be the fact that it is just so damn good that you keep playing for hours on end.

The 400 days DLC was also a masterpiece. I enjoyed it immensely.

This was my first experience with a Telltale game and it was a beautiful experience. Like I said, I cried like a baby at the end of the game and they were tears of sadness but also joy. The joy of finally playing a good game in the year 2013, the year that I completed this game fully.

Definitely recommend this experience to anyone.

this game was nuts to butts
almost every scene was packed with action and jump scares
the TV show looks like gutter water compared to this rendition

From gameplay style to the story telling this game has it all
I was a fan of the Father Daughter moments of the game
as well as the Trust and Butterfly Effect of situations, it was all tied
together in a very nice package

Even surrounding the basic premise of a Zombie Apocalypse

Cant think of a single complaint unless you count the consequences
of my own actions lmao

Very hyped at this moment to get into Season 2 and pick up were Lee left off..
