Cultural Influence

Telltale's The Walking Dead had a significant impact on the adventure game genre, influencing the development of subsequent narrative games and demonstrating the potential of interactive stories in video games.

My opinion.

Atypical adventure, based on a 2010 television series. The plot in brief: In a post-apocalyptic world zombies have invaded the planet. As a result, a diverse group of survivors desperately seek a safe place to settle.

It’s divided into 6 chapters, each of them pretty short, which are slowly coming out (currently only available until the third chapter).

The interaction is minimal, it’s more like an interactive movie. The puzzles are very simple and minimal. It is therefore not a classic adventure and certainly different from the generic canons.

But the story is very beautiful and compelling. The characters are very well characterized and have their own very well defined personality, which is quite rare and appreciable in games of this type. The choices you make in the game determine the profile of the character that we will interpret and how the other characters will react to us (friendly, hostile, etc...).

Even there are various possible paths, for example in some points there are real choices, 2 characters are attacked by zombies and we have to decide who to save with consequences that will greatly affect the continuation of the story.

Absolutely recommended to lovers of the genre.
