"One of the best games ever created, delivering an undoubtedly unforgettable experience full of emotional setbacks, memorable combat encounters and boss designs, stunning visuals and superb soundtrack pieces to boot. Replayable on its own (even without Shadow Of The Erdtree) for hundreds of hours and yet offering new lore details, locations, characters to meet and secrets to discover even in New Game +4.

Don't bother waiting for a discount. Play it as soon as you can. You won't regret it, as long as you can handle the harsh rules of the Lands Between and the challenges that will await you."

The Walking Dead has to be one of the most beautifully written and heartbreaking stories I have ever experienced in any media, period. It has been a long time since I have felt emotional over a turn, a twist, a sudden revelation or a relationship between virtual characters, but this game has made me tear up more than once. The way Telltale has written every major character and has let us influence how they might view us as the player at the course of our actions and words we chose while interacting with them, as well as their way of giving them a real personality throughout all the seasons is just amazing I wish more games could make me break down in tears like this story has.

This game lives solely for and as a result of all the beautifully written and developed characters and its interactions and build relationships with them.

The music choices, as well as the OST are indubitably immaculately chosen and are giving the whole story from time to time different feels and some of the soundtracks and their corresponding scenes are still stuck in my head till this day, bringing me happy and sad memories alike. 𝓣𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓤𝓼 𝓑𝓪𝓬𝓴

I don't think any story has ever made me feel this way. Maybe it is because the characters, that we have met during this journey were with us for over 5 years, either in our hearts or still on the screen, maybe it is because of the nostalgia of playing the first season so many years ago and only recently saying our farewell to this cinematic masterpiece. Maybe it's both...

"The story is tailored by how you play" is a phrase often mocked and said to be untrue but what most don't understand is that "tailored" =/= "changes" but rather means "modifies". No matter what direction you go in, you will end up in the same place. But how you get there, who is with you and what they think of you is up to the choices you make, the dialogues you chose and how YOU want your character to be and act like.

This game is made for everyone with the right mindset, that allows you to let the characters, the world and everything around it to sink in. Try to get through the first hours, even if they seem slow or uninteresting to you, because what comes after you made the first steps is something you will never forget. The first game, even with its old age, is still to this day a game that I would recommend a 100% because it is the beginning of a story so rich that you can't afford to miss if you want to play ANY of the games that will follow.

It might go up and down between games but let me tell you as a fan of all the different games - The Final Season might be the best out of all of them and brings this story to an incredibly deserved end and finishing this story from start to end, is a feeling unlike any other I have experienced in 10+ years playing video games!

So whether you are already a Walking Dead fan since the first season of the TV show, a comic book reader, a regular player that has never even scratched on the surface of Robert Kirkman's universe, or maybe even someone that has nothing to do with video games at all, but enjoys memorable, fleshed out and bittersweet stories and characters that WILL make you remember them (for better, or for worse) - Give this game a try. The first season might be outdated in terms of gameplay and visual quality, but the Definitive Edition has done everything it could to combine the eerie and edgy 2013 video game aesthetics with the colorful and polished looks of late 2019. - The music is as good as it can be. - The world is as dark and gritty but also as diverse and beautiful as you would expect it to be. And so is the story:

As heartbreaking and unforgiving, as eerie and polished, as gritty and as beautiful. In my opinion, the only thing that holds this game back from being the best video game story you have ever experienced, is your ability to let it become just that.

Buy it. No matter the price. You can not go wrong with this masterpiece.
