so there's a new Walking Dead video game, and last night I played through it. I wonder if anybody else has played this game?
(if you buy it off steam, you get all 5 chapters)
Review:
(SPOILER)This is a prequel game - it starts prior to season 1, and stars a character that has not been introduced in the series. The game appears to be rather low budget but it is very straightforward and casual friendly. Basically it is a move and click, with your responses to conversations leading to either different attitudes people take with you, or information about the past that you [the player] did not know.
The first time I played, I acted rather normally, and it was pretty cool. The second time I started trying to mess with everything - getting myself killed over and over, trying to 'miss' doing things, etc. It's worked out well and everybody hates me.
NOW, I do have some critiques - because the choices in the game have consequences it's difficult to backtrack. So if you want to do what I did, maybe what you'll have to do is save the game many times - but the game appears to just run on autosaves, which I don't like.
Still, I recommend this game. It will work out to 5 bucks per chapter and due to the multiple choices IF you cared about that sort of thing there's replay value (or as much replay value as there is in 'let's replay the game and try to be a jackass')
