The Walking Dead game is quite a rarity, it is a point-and-click game available on consoles.

Developers, TellTale Games, have created a game with a heavy focus on the narrative and characters.

A bulk of the game focuses on the dialogue and interaction that occur between the protagonist, Lee Everett, and the rest of the characters. This is done fairly well and it is enjoyable to watch the way each character develops.

Your interactions with these characters are said to have consequences, however in reality, there is little variation in consequence in differing choices.

The game uses puzzles and quicktime events, overall, these are implemented well into the story. They don’t feel forced and they help to keep the story progressing.

Overall however, the game is quite underwhelming. It can lack pace, some puzzles feel too forced and there is little truth behind the claim that you can’tailor your own story’

This sucks because without these drawbacks, the game could be great.

Also, just a heads up for any of you achievement hunters out there, this game is a simple 500 Gamerscore; just complete it, simples.
