    Engaging story .. Cell-shaded graphics got old before I started playing , but thats not really the developers fault ( too much dbz and borderlands ). Very linear game , shabby movement controls.
    It's an okay inbetweener, but why this (kinda) game should ever get more than 7 , implying its a gaming experience worth while.. Is beyond me

    Interactive TV series basically. Good and catchy story that won't let you go until you finish it. As a game though, it's nothing to write home about as the gameplay itself is rather clunky. I have no problem enjoying it for what it is and focus on the story, but unfortunately there are some other issues. The choices you make are not such a deciding factor in shaping the story as it mightInteractive TV series basically. Good and catchy story that won't let you go until you finish it.

I have no problem enjoying it for what it is and focus on the story, but unfortunately there are some other issues. The choices you make are not such a deciding factor in shaping the story as it might seem at first, it might change a dialog line here and there, but the overall path is pretty linear and set in stone beforehand no matter your choice. My fav characters were dying no matter what I did, the chars I didn't like were sticking with me till the end etc. I also cannot believe that they never included the inverted Y-Axis option, it's the only game I have played in years that didn't bother to include it, so they made the game very unpleasant to play for people like me who are used to inverted controls. Whoever is responsible for audio in this game should get fired right away, constant audio problems, audio balance issues, static noise, music cutting off etc. Even years after release they didn't patch these things. I'm also disappointed with 400 days DLC, the reason why I bought the complete series pack as I wanted the complete experience, but it hardly expanded anything on the original story, it's basically just another 5 short random stories. I'm still going to continue with season 2 as I enjoyed the story quite a bit, but I really hope devs learned something and won't repeat these same mistakes. 5/10… Expand

    Decent story thats about all it is. Choice mattering is just an illusion. Nice cel shade graphics though, facial expressions are creepy and ugly as it gets (just a nitpick.) no depth to gameplay or puzzles. Personaly if i play a game like this id rather have something that engages thought process. Such as an old school point and click.Decent game if your lacking motivation.

    The story and characters make this game worth playing. In fact, they make it good. Having said that, as far as a video game goes, it's like watching a season of a television series that makes you press play every few minutes. I don't see why more game elements could not have been added to this game. It's as if they thought they had to choose between narrative and gameplay.

If you see it for cheap enough, it is definitely worth playing through, for the story. Just be ready for it to be more of a series of interactive cutscenes than a video game.… Expand

    It was a fun game, but for me it felt too slow sometimes. I would’ve liked more diversity in the chapters like in the “400 days”. But to change the game with your decisions was a really cool thing!

    The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season on PS4 is the definitive version of this stunning, narrative-driven adventure.

    There are fewer performance problems, but this isn’t quite the overhaul that we were hoping for. That said, if you’re still yet to experience Lee and Clem’s escapade, this is the best version yet. And if you’re already familiar with Telltale Games’ post-apocalyptic journey, then ultimately you’ll have to decide whether it's worth the double dip.
