The Walking Dead is a five-part game series set in the same universe as Robert Kirkman’s award-winning comic book series. Play as Lee Everett, a convicted criminal, who has been given a second chance at life in a world devastated by the undead. With corpses returning to life and survivors stopping at nothing to maintain their own safety, protecting an orphaned girl named Clementine may offer him redemption in a world gone to hell.
Groundbreaking, an absolutely brilliant and inspirational release by Telltale that made me rethink how I thought about adventure gaming and episodic releases. I gave this game a 9 only because it dragged on in places, put in several rather arbitrary choices (morally speaking, which is a point they pump hard) and ultimately missed several opportunities to implement concepts that presumably were left out due to time and staff restraints. Telltale is definitely a company to watch.
