    Quite possibly my favorite gaming series, all bundled into one package with improvements in graphics and many extra features. This is a must have.

    Die erste Staffel war wirklich das Beste der gesamten Reihe. Ab der zweiten Staffel ging die Qualität immer weiter runter. Ab Teil 3 war ich sehr demotiviert aufgrund mancher Entscheidungen der Entwickler (Stichwort: Jane oder Kenny). Die letzte Staffel stieg zwar mit der Qualität wieder an, blieb aber trotzdem im Schatten der ersten Staffel. Schlussendlich musste trotz allem der Protagonist aus Teil 1 einen Gastauftritt bekommen um meine Gefühle aktiv zu wecken. Schlussendlich hat man trotz allem ein spannendes Spiel, was einen einige Abende unterhält.    … Expand

    В этой игре один из самых сильных сюжетов среди всех видеоигр. В 1 сезоне очень хорошая атмосфера и персонажи. Во 2 сезоне история также интригует, игра держит плануку. 3 и 4 сезон не особо понравились. Они неплохие, но на фоне первых двух сезонов слабые.

    Pros:
    + Clementine
    + Generally good stories
    + Still cool to play a "choose your adventure" style game
    + Seasons 1 & 4

    So-So:
    - Illusion of choice is there, but having played many more telltale games, I'm at peace with this.. sort of
    - Seasons 2,3

    Cons:
    - obvious plot armor
    - repeated cycles after season 1

    For the definitive edition, telltale has packaged all of the the walking dead games available in one fantastic bundle. All the games here are massively enjoyable, with season 1,2 and the final season being the highlight out of all the games here. The new graphic black option does not work all of the time though, it glitches out sometimes and pulls you out of the immersion for a short time.For the definitive edition, telltale has packaged all of the the walking dead games available in one fantastic bundle.

    Ok I was thinking the new graphics thing gonna be awesome but It's not that good. Still It's The Walking Dead, Telltale's one of the best things. Great story, great emotions... It deserves more tham 3 point.

    The edition itself is rather good with all it's additional content (creator's comments, characters's models and etc.), but there are a few questions for some seasons.

    The first and the second seasons are good in my opinion (as I see the rating, in people's opinion too). But the New Frontier story and Michonne DLC are rather weak.

    The gameplay of these game is well known for everybody who plays it, so each person decides itself if he likes it or not. From me I can tell that there is good moments as well as bad ones.

    So if you want to try an interesting and long story in post-apocalyptic world and if you don't looking for a gorgeous gameplay and technoligies - you should try this game.    … Expand

    Idk what to say, I came in thinking I would play a okay game, and it would only go down after S.1, but I was suprise with just how intresting the game was ,from the start to finish.

    S.1 and S.4 was IMO 100% the best ones, S.2 was good, and S.3 was okay, but the 1 and 4 was amazing, the soundtrack was perfect, and there is just something about the art stile I love.

    I`m really happy for reborn of Telltale and guys from Skybound. Games from Telltale were the only projects that made an unimaginable impression on me. Recall at least such masterpieces as "The wolf among us" and of course all the seasons of "The walking dead". I will never forget that. And I`m ready to support every move of Skybound. Thank you.

    This was my first introduction to the game and honestly I have never felt as moved by a piece of media in my life. I wasn't a huge fan of season 1 but season 2 was amazing and the all in all the game left me feeling very sad but content and I am so happy that I chose to play it.

    Telltale Games' "The walking dead" had neither a high budget nor outwardly perfect graphics. And yet it was a game that thrilled the hell out of me in all possible aspects of storytelling and characters.

The game is very emotional very dramatic very brutal every choice you make weights on you it makes you think what would you have done in real life in that situation it shows that during an apocalypse we humans are our biggest enemy if we dont work together… Expand

    Technical issues aside, this is in my opinion by far the greatest story the walking dead universe has to offer. The first and fourth seasons are absolute masterpieces. Highly recommended if you like this kind of game.

    Telltale games are unrivaled when it comes to story, writing, choices, and consequences. There are not many games that stack up to this. It is one of my favorite games of all time and I can't wait for their next projects.

    My favorite video game of all time. Clementines journey was a fresh of breath air. And to grow up following this game through to its final moments was a real joy! I'm so glad they put the collection all together so I could play through once again!

    Newcomers to the series are very much recommended to plump for this collection, it’s got everything you need and the story is excellent. Otherwise, it’s probably not worth shelling out to buy everything again.

    In total, this is quite a collection that spans the rise and fall of a truly landmark series. The bonus material is a nice addition and the ability to revisit any and all parts of the saga in one place is welcome. I’m tempted to recommend this collection on the strength of the first series alone, but something as complete as this is a no-brainer for anyone who’s a fan of the franchise, of zombie apocalypse stories, or of episodic storytelling in general.

    Ultimately, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series is a mixed bag. If you haven't yet played through these seasons and are interested in taking the plunge, this offers a good way to do so as long as you're aware that the series eventually runs out of steam.
