Ansh Patel says:
Telltale’s adaptation of Kirkman’s comics stayed true to its focus on raw human drama in a post-apocalyptic society rather than zombies. But it also delivered one of gaming’s most honest relationships, that of Lee and Clementine. A brilliant ensemble cast, each with their own painful tales, took choice-based cinematic storytelling to an entirely different level in The Walking Dead. Players connected with Lee’s quest to protect Clementine and save whatever innocence she had in this cruel world bent on survival. The result was a stunning revival of the adventure genre, combining elements old and new in what was possibly one of the best written pieces in gaming for quite a while.
Sahil Arora says:
One of the most heartbreaking gaming experiences I’ve had ever. I thought the Final Fantasy series was the pinnacle of stimulating the player’s emotions, but The Walking Dead takes that to another level. This is the most fulfilling and holistic gaming experience I’ve ever had, a gaming experience that not only stimulates your reflexes and creativity but also tests you emotionally, so much so that you might want to take a break and just think. Think about the decision you made, the consequences.
