I'm definitely eager to play Season 2.… Expand

   Didn't reach the emotional stakes of the actual game but the DLC does well in telling 5 stories very quickly. 400 Days tells these storiesDidn't reach the emotional stakes of the actual game but the DLC does well in telling 5 stories very quickly. 400 Days tells these stories very well too, much better than your usual AAA titles, just like the actual game. TellTale have experimented here and I believe it has worked and it is great to see that there are a few new gameplay mechanics and that can only bode well for the future of this game. Not perfect though, as I did think it was a little short but overall a 9/10 was fair for what you are paying here.… Expand

It presents various stories that you shape through your choices – a brilliant concept that I truly enjoyed, despite finding it a bit brief.
   
   The choices made here carry into the second game, potentially influencing which characters appear. The gameplay mirrors that of the original game, delivering the same captivating experience – the usual awesome stuff.… Expand

If I would rate the chapters, this is my opinion, beginning from the best: Vince, Wyatt, Russel, Bonnie and Shel. If I think about my choices here I can say that they are motivated by the depth of which I felt involved, both in my identification with the characters and impact on the chapter. Bonnie's and Shel's chapter illustrate my point. I rated this chapter relatively low because I didn't really feel connected with the characters because of the lack of character building (compare with Vince's episode). It's cool that Telltale delivers new content, but they try to compensate for the shortness of the chapters by incorporating at least one hard choice in them. At least, that's what they aimed to do. In Bonnie's and Shel's case, there sure were decision that would have had real emotional repercussions (for the player), but the potential strength of these decisions is minimized by the lack of character building and identification (especially in Shel's chapter). So Telltale has to choose between character building (which requires serene scenes) and some action too (to keep some players from getting bored), but I think they should have focused on character building (like with Vince) because the climax of the chapter (the most important part as you wish, and the part by which most of the players will rate the chapter in my opinion) depends upon character building and identification. I don't say the chapters are no good, because Telltale really deserved props for sucking the player in on such short notice, but some change of focus in certain chapter would have made it an overall better product, more worthy of the expensive price tag (now 5 EUR; January 2014). All in all, it would have been better if Telltale deleted 2 chapters and dug more into the other.
   
   Another thing now, what's great about these five different points of view is the diversity of situations and character types, something you didn't have in Season One. After finishing, what I also would like is some more insight in how the characters in the end decided to accept or decline a certain proposition, to better see where and how I impacted this. A positive note to end with: it's sweet to see controller support, and it really fits the game better than a mouse.… Expand

The heavy choices you have to make are still there, but they don't carry as far like the first season. I say it's worth the $5, especially since the choices are planned to carry into Season 2.… Expand

Now the game just hangs up at a black screen whenever IBought this when it was released but have not had a chance to try it until recently. Now the game just hangs up at a black screen whenever I try to start an episode and it seems this is a common problem that has popped up since 400 days. I played the game with absolutely zero problems before installing 400 days, and now I can't even refresh on the base story so I can play the new season because 400 days broke the game.… Expand
