    I've played all the telltale games to date and this the best IMO, in fact this is the best point and click game I've ever played, I love this game so much I've completed in on PS3,ps4, vita and Xbox 360 lol, so this reviews ally's to all platforms although it obviously runs best on ps4 and dosent play quite as well on vita, not many duo's have stuck in my mind as much as lee and clem, butI've played all the telltale games to date and this the best IMO, in fact this is the best point and click game I've ever played, I love this game so much I've completed in on PS3,ps4, vita and Xbox 360 lol, so this reviews ally's to all platforms although it obviously runs best on ps4 and dosent play quite as well on vita, not many duo's have stuck in my mind as much as lee and clem, but there not the only great charictors in this game there's loads, the story is fantastic music is nice and is just an alround great game, I could go on and on about how good this game is I really could, but you will never know how. Good it really is unless you go play it, it's next to nothing now on most platforms, so go buy it… Expand

    The Walking Dead: TTS is pretty much a tamer version of the FX show, but is another story about survivors from the Atlanta area. Like with every other Telltale game, its a CYOA (Choose your own adventure), so there are all kinds of ways a situation can go. (Save for a few key moments)

    Playing as a survivor, as the whole world turns to sh*t is a good change of pace as you get to experience more of the human element of the TWD world.

    As a story by itself, it is a must play for fans of the series, along with Season 2. (which is even better!)

    Personal advice, If you plan on going all out, I'd avoid Season 3 altogether and wait until the next one, you aren't really missing much.    … Expand

Conoce a una pequeña niña de nombre Clementine la cual los llevara de a vivir muchas situaciones , mas tragedias que buenas noticias, quizás la vida que le depara a un hombre y una niña en un mundo de zombies no sea de lo mas prometedor.
    Es un juego el cual no lucen las grandes gráficas ni la gran potencia tecnológica de otros juegos, pero comparando con otros transmite mayor emoción, pues que las voces que le dan vida a los personajes que iremos conociendo son excelentes , pero algo que me resulto increíble es que apesar de que no tiene los grandes gráficos vaya que esas expresiones que tienen los individuos en el juego resaltan mucho mas que otros trabajos que se jactan de la tecnología de motioncapture de los que he podido jugar previamente, y complementen maravillosamente las voces, tomamos decisiones en el juego las cuales repercutirán en el numero de integrantes con los que llegamos al final, pero al jugarlo mas de una vez y decir que pasaría si hago esto?, voy por aquí?, no se diferente al anterior, no afecta de gran manera la historia pero apesar de ellos es una historia que no reinventa la rueda una historia sencilla bien contada, detalles que marcan y recordaras,
    Por lo anterior recomiendo ampliamente este juego.    … Expand

    This is less of a game and more of an interactive story. Put that aside, one of the most heart wrenching stories I've ever experienced. I cried, I'll never forget it.

    Finally! I finally got around to beating Tale Tales The Walking Dead, and I have to say damn, damn, damn.

I finally got around to beating Tale Tales The Walking Dead, and I have to say damn, damn, damn. This game is awesome I know I won't be saying anything that you haven't already heard before but this game proves that story can beat gameplay any day of the week. I am in that camp I would rather play a game with an amazing story with meh controls, than a game with great gameplay but lame ass story. This game doesn't always have the best control scheme but it works to get you to the next bit of story. Sadly when you find out the game doesn't actually give you a choice on what happens it loses some of it's luster. A wise man said that this game gives you the elusion of choice and I completely agree with that. Folks in this game if someone is meant to die they are going to die one way or another. I personally think that is a pretty **** thing but it doesn't affect the story at all. This game was able to almost make me cry with the relationship between the character, it can be a real downer. This is the best zombie game out there and I believe it really captures one of the zombie apocalypse scenarios that we would love to see. It is an adventure game so people who only want fast gameplay and the hell with story avoid this game at all cost cause you will more than likely hate it. To the rest of you who are in my shoes and didn't jump on this game last year I got it for eight dollar and it was well worth the price. I give this 4.5-out of 5 the only reason this isn't a perfect game to me is because it didn't have the best gameplay mechanics.… Expand

    Probably the best episodic game ever created! You start to love Lee & Clementine [2 protagonist] right from the beginning and have an epic journey with them through 5 episodes. A powerful story with amazing character development through each episodes leading up to THAT ending

    This game has a really great story, and it is one of the reasons why i loved a comics (i have read all comics by Robert Kirkman). And even after several years i remember all characters, strong moments and emotions from this game. RIP Telltale Games...

    포인트 앤 클릭에서 내가 이끌고 간다는 느낌만 살짝 첨가해준 작품. 다만 이 장르에서 기념비적인 작품이고 스토리적으로도 완성도 높은건 인정. 한동안 이거 이후로 포인트앤클릭 장르에 푹 빠진 기억이 난다.

    The Walking Dead is a genre-defining title for both point-and-click adventures and zombie games. I never thought I'd be so compelled by an "actionless" game but TWD was a game-changer.

Dabei ist die grundlegende Spielmechanik, des in Episoden veröffentlichten Adventures, so simple wie effektiv zugleich. Die Interaktion der Telltale Titel beschränkt sich nämlich auf ein Untersuchen der Umgebung, eine Dialogmechanik, sowie diverse Quick Time Events, mit denen wir vor allem Action Szenen im Spiel bestreiten. Das Ganze funktioniert allerdings überraschend gut und hat sich mittlerweile gar als eigenständiges Genre etablieren können, das auch von anderen Studios, beispielsweise Dontnod Entertainment, erfolgreich bedient wird.

    Die besondere Qualität von "The Walking Dead" ergibt sich aber weder aus dem Spielsystem, noch aus dem teuren Franchise, sondern in erster Linie aus dem erzählerischen Geschick, das Telltale Games insbesondere in der ersten Staffel dieser Videospielserie beweist. Denn die Geschichte um Lee, Clementine und der Gruppe Überlebende, der sich die beiden angeschlossen haben, könnte dramatischer und tragischer kaum erzählt sein. Zudem stellt uns die Erzählung immer wieder vor extreme Herausforderungen, in denen wir selbst zum Handeln gezwungen werden. In vielen dieser Situationen denkt man: "Nope, das will ich jetzt wirklich nicht tun". Man wird, zwecks Überlebens, letztlich zu Entscheidungen gezwungen, denen man im Alltag so sicherlich nie begegnen würde. Das trifft nicht nur das emphatische Wesen in uns, sondern bringt uns auch an den Rand unserer Ethik.

    Neben der emotionalen Betroffenheit, die das Spiel als dramatische Erzählung erzeugt, sind es so vor allem diese gekonnt inszenierten Ausnahmesituationen, die Telltales "The Walking Dead" bei Veröffentlichung nicht nur zu einem Kritiker Liebling, sondern auch zu einem großen Publikums Erfolg gemacht haben.    … Expand

    Excellent story and interesting decision-making story impacts. Pretty rough framerate and control scheme hold this back from being a truly great video game, but as an interactive TV show it is one of the best.

    It deserves it as well, because The Walking Dead is a great game, one that truly pushes what can be done with a video game narrative that cannot be done in film or TV.
