Easily one of the greatest video games ever. The fact that your choices hava huge impact on how story is going to be taiolred is just fantastic. I love how you get to know the characters better as the time passes. The oacing is perfect, the dialogues are down to earth and the story and the concept overall are fantastic. The only complaint I usually have with these kinda games is that you don;t even know how it all started and by that I mean the zombie apocalypse. Maybe ffixing the world instead of surviving it is too much to ask for but I'd be a lot more content if smething like that was actually made.

If there is one thing Telltale does well, it is pull on your heartstrings. Always have to pause for a moment in Episode 3 to sob my eyes out. If you are a fan of the comic book or the tv show, you know the drill.

As an aside, it is amazing how you can both love and loathe a character so deeply. Or for me, multiple characters. I never know if I want to hug certain characters or slap them. That's the beauty of it, though.

Time to start up Episode 4.

Finished Episode 2 and it serves to remind us that even during a zombie apocalypse there will still be other dangers and other issues to worry about. It proves that first impressions aren't what they seem, that the innocent may not always be so innocent, that relationships can change on a dime, and that trust comes with costs. So, y'know, …

Finished Episode 2 and it serves to remind us that even during a zombie apocalypse there will still be other dangers and other issues to worry about. It proves that first impressions aren't what they seem, that the innocent may not always be so innocent, that relationships can change on a dime, and that trust comes with costs. So, y'know, real life.

Despite having played through this game multiple times over the years, I still come across things I didn't notice before and responses I haven't heard. I'm also starting to wonder if my gameplay this time around is being shaped by my knowledge of the future games in the series. Things just feel different this time. Will be interesting to see how this plays out going forward into Episode 3.

No matter how many times I play this game, the emotional impacts always feel fresh and tug on the heartstrings. Like settling in with a favorite book, even though you know how it all ends, you still have your favorite moments that continue to thrill you and warm the heart.

No matter how many times I play this game, the emotional impacts always feel fresh and tug on the heartstrings. Like settling in with a favorite book, even though you know how it all ends, you still have your favorite moments that continue to thrill you and warm the heart.

Just completed Episode 1 on the PS4 and seeing Lee meet Clem for the first time was so bittersweet. One of the best partnerships in modern video game history. Each game-changing decision weighed as heavily on me as the first time I played and I can always tell how much I've "grown" in the years since the game was first released based on how some of my choices change over time.

All that being said, onward to Episode 2!

Went and injured my left hand and arm this weekend meaning I've had to take a few days off from gaming. Now that I've figured how to manoeuver better with my brace on, I'm going to get back to this playthrough of The Walking Dead. A Telltale game seems like the perfect "I-can't-make-full-use-of-my-hands-but-still-want-to-game" game. THANKGLOB!

Keeping with the Halloween spirit, going to play through The Walking Dead again. I've played it multiple times on the Xbox 360, but want to play it again on PS Now to pad my trophy case. Absolutely love this game, so this won't be a chore in the slightest.

Re-playing this game for the umpteenth time because I accidentally deleted it and lost all of my savegames. I want my choices to carry over to season 2, for zombie's sake!

Re-playing this game for the umpteenth time because I accidentally deleted it and lost all of my savegames. I want my choices to carry over to season 2, for zombie's sake! Why is there no cloud save for this game? If ever a game needed a cloud save, you'd think it would be this one. To the game's enormous credit, it is still a gripping experience, even on the umpteenth playthrough.

You learn a lot about each other when you play this game couch co-op with your girlfriend. This game is tense, well acted, very well written, and well worth it.

My only real complaint about this game is that the loading times were ridiculous, and I actually blew some QTEs and died because the game was still frozen from loading when I was supposed to be pressing X to not die. I played on Vita -- I imagine this is probably not an issue on a console or PC.

Walking Dead: 400 Days...less bonding with characters, but way, way more regrets about making the wrong choice. Shit.
