Thoughts from those who have finished Episode 1? (No Spoiler version)

[The Gentleman]

How is the game? Is the gameplay fun? How is the story?


No spoilers though. I'm waiting to see if I want to buy this or not.

You can't go wrong with $5 per episode.

If you love the comics and think the TV show is meh, this is going to be worth more than $5.

Overall I really like the game so far. It has just about the perfect amount of action, puzzle and character development. There were a few times where I was actually startled. As great as everything else is, the story probably stood out the most for me. Just like the Walking Dead series (be it comic or TV) I felt like this was a very believable universe.

Even though I felt it's worth every penny I spent, I do wish that some of the puzzles were more difficult and there be more of it. I kind of miss the days of Monkey Island when I felt like the game world was much bigger and I was able to explore it and discover different things.

[The Gentleman]

Awesome, thanks.


I was a little on the fence about this because of the bad reception of JP. (Which I haven't actually bought because of that)

[Weili]

I bought JP and it was the first game I've bought from TTG that I really regret... I was very much looking forward to JP and it was a huge let down. I didn't even bother finishing the first episode. TWD definitely restored my confidence in TTG though

[RAnthonyMahan]

Simply amazing. Easily the best thing Telltale's done since The Devil's Playhouse (not that it has much competition there, though).

However, I still miss traditional Sam and Max/Monkey Island-style point-and-click adventures. While The Walking Dead's gameplay style is by no means bad, I'd like to see Telltale return to their roots soon.

[NastyBiscuts]

Simply stated: The game is good. Buy it and enjoy

Boo Hoo. You didn't like Jurassic Park. Quit being a cry baby. Remember, God doesn't like crybabies...

See what I did there? Being unsatisfied is not the same as crying about something now is it?

lol

Stating that one didn't enjoy a game is not the same as one whining and crying like a little turd just because the latter lacks patience and has nothing better to do than hitting F5 on their keyboard until their index finger bled and explode into nerd rage.

In the end, attacking me won't get you your steam key any quicker lol

Wow.

I loved The Devil's Playhouse. So yeah, buying when I can.

lol Saying "I didn't get my key either. Pretty annoying" is far from showing 1. Impatience; or 2. Representing that the person is hitting "any" key repeatedly. I wasn't even attacking you idiot. Just making a point that you obviously lack the intelligence to understand. Here's a hint, now I am attacking you. lol!

[Polly4dj]

i really really liked it

even though the puzzles can be deemed as easy the whole atmosphere is awesome

it really makes you in charge of life changing decisions and makes you feel the pressure of your actions

plus after every major choice you'll ask yourself more than once if you called it right on what just happened.

[Actinguy1]

I loved it while I was playing the game, but I'm a little disappointed now that I've discovered that most of my choices had little effect on the game. Even something as big as whether to save either of two characters early in the game has almost no effect...the game forces a specific character to live, and the other to die, no matter what you choose.

[BlankCanvasDJ]

Doesn't mean it won't make a huge difference later. We're still only one episode in.

[Arsun97]

Thank you Telltale, for giving me the best game all time, enjoyed every minute of it, and I sometimes felt emotional, not evry game can to that! Thank you!

[Fors]

I thought that it was worth the purchase.

Much better than most episodes from season 2 of the TV show.

This is coming from someone who has a lot of friends that read the comic, but never actually read the comic himself. I should really get around to doing that one of these days.

[zefiend]

It's awesome and well worth the money, buy it. As a huge fan of the comics I'm impressed with how much the folks at Telltale seem to love The Walking Dead too.

[ILLphil]

just great.. i hated JP but TWD ist just great...!!

[Gennadios]

Game's a ton of fun, atmosphere and interactions were nailed.

There were a few "Adventure Game Moon Logic" sequences where where you had to do some really convoluted stuff with items that could have been put to much more efficient use. Also, some objective chains that only really needed two or three steps took four or five, I guess to pad the game, but for the most part the flow and pacing were amazing.

[bluezero2x]

its very short, and fairly linear. i think they should have charged 5 bucks per episode, rather than 25 for 1 episode, and the rest whenever they want to release them. its very fun the first play through. common sense will keep you out of all trouble. there arent unexpected "twists" when you choose certain things.

good game, though i hope the choice options get more dramatic.
