[Game] Telltale Games - The Walking Dead: Season One

The Apple App Store were doing this game as a free download and you also got Episode 1 for free too. I downloaded it because I heard so many good reviews on the game and, being a zombie enthusiast, I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Well, was I in for a ride.

The game consists of five episodes and one add-on extra called '400 Days.' They were doing a bundle deal, episodes 2-5 plus 400 Days for £14.99 so I opted for that, all in all saving around a fiver.

You play as the character Lee, a convicted criminal on his way to prison when the apocalypse breaks out. Ultimately meeting Clementine in Episode 1. You meet and lose many great characters along the way, but I'm not going to give the story up for those who like a surprise.

I found the game severely tense and emotional. You are given time limits on decisions that you have to make. These decisions range from menial conversation to saving someone's life. Each time you make a choice it alters the game in a different direction as a direct result and consequence of your decision.

The graphics are great, they have a comic book feel and it is easy to navigate and play. Great for a first time gamer like myself. But just as good for a pro-gamer, too.

In this game we do see some old and familiar faces from the comics and the TV Show.

I have yet to play 400 Days yet. It bridges the gap between Season 1 and Season 2. As it's an add-on and a Season in its own right, I shall write a separate post for it once I'm done.

Overall 10/10, brilliant game. I recommend it to everyone and I have already downloaded Season 2.
