The Walking Dead

This game is so......... FREAKINGLY FREAKING AMAZING!!!! THE STORY, THE CHARACTERS, Even the fact you make your own choice in the game.. The story was just way better than anything else, and yet it pains me to say this, but The Walking Dead probably has better story than Red Dead Redemption II and I, I played Red Dead, but after seeing how this game is like compared to Red Dead, I'd say The Walking Dead takes the trophy, man I wish Telltale Games was still in business so they can make more The Walking Dead games, and Lee's Death bro.. It had me in tears, I even felt really emotional throughout this game, this just shows how strong it's story can be, You gotta play this man! It'll really get to your mind with emotions and all, and you gotta continue the games, I'm probably though gonna do Season 2 and then I'll do the others, but yea, I'd definetly reccomend this to someone who loves storylines a lot, I just love this game, please buy it and enjoy it.

i dont know what to write but the game is awesome - may have some bugs etc. but the story...

I can see why the steam reviews are, "Overwhelmingly Positive"
this game's a masterpiece in writing and storytelling.

fucking amazing game
i've played this game back in 2014 it was crazy
playing it again now

I like the story, you can really feel for Lee and Clementine.

Really love the story and characters in this game!

this is the first game that i bought with money on steam and every other game. and i thought it would be a bad choice for me that i picked this game cause its on sale and old, but it wasn't. i enjoy the game so much and i purchase the season 2 already cause it got me hooked up. thank you telltale!

its a fun yet old game. good gameplay and sad story. good for people who want to cry

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH LEE. I recommend this game to you if you like story games, especially with intense situations and, danger and, stuff like that. This game is such an amazing story, and it has ZOMBIES, you can't go wrong with a good old zombie game, it may seem like a slow paced game but I find the story writing of it to be amazing and intriguing. The ending is the saddest thing I've seen in a long time, made me emotional and almost made me cry, this game is one of the best in my opinion, super iconic and amazing, would very much recommend.

"everybody is going to remember this"

btw nice game movie series, awesome story but not always seems that your choices are doing much

this game has a perfect story

The Walking Dead is the first game in a series of Telltale games based on the comic book and television series. With exceptional storytelling and character development, it is considered one of the best narratives of its era. The game begins in the early days of a zombie apocalypse and follows Lee, who saves a young girl named Clementine, and looks over her as they attempt to stay alive and find safety in any way they can. Along the way they meet several other characters that they team up with. Lee and Clem share many heartfelt moments as he teaches her whatever he can to prepare her for the challenges ahead. The point and click gameplay mechanics are simple and the game is generally quite linear. The game shines with its emotional twists, and delivers a plethora of figurative gut punches as the player has to make difficult, and often split second decisions that will impact outcomes and character relationships. The pacing is generally solid although there are occasions where things slow down a little too much. The eerie score creates a lot of tension and the voice acting performances really allow each character to shine. The cell-shaded visual art suits the comic book style and the game has a very cinematic feel to it. The Walking Dead will probably keep you thinking about it long after its conclusion, as story driven experiences at this level are few and far between.

Bought this while it was on sale and it was totally worth the full price even.
Good and deep story where your choices actually matters.
All around a fun time!

this game was so good and addictive to play and you are not a true one if you don't cry at the ending

Best game i have ever played. The story is great and I want to experience the story for the first time again. I think there wouldn't be any other gstory game that is better than the walikng dead. I would recomend to not rush it.

I'll admit, I jumped on this game late compared to when it released but it doesn't subtract all from how it immerses you in the story. There's some funny dialogue if you decide to play as a jerk but there's lots of feels in it. Some janky graphics but it doesn't detract from the story. Replayability is high.

Ending hits you in the feels like a gut punch directly to you.

This game may be the best story game ive played in a long time, the date on it means nothing, the plot is everything. Play this game after experiencing a traumatic event and you will feel reborn after a runthrough. Your choices really mean everything and the game is truly "tailored to how you play". I will never forget this game.

Не могу не написать обзор по данному шедевру от Telltale Games. Я играю в нее с детства, и это лучшая игра своего жанра. Тут просто не передать словами насколько хорошо прописана история, учитывая год выхода игры. Тогда еще Телтейл были в своем прайме и делали игры с удовольствием и всей своей душой. Спасибо разработчикам за эту историю, которую я не забуду никогда. still not bitten.

Recently finished the game and enjoyed so much. This game can entertain anyone with its intense story. I immensely engaged with the characters especially the bond between Lee and Clem made me emotional. There are so many alternative choices and each choice has its own consequences. Some choices are more crucial which impact the main story and I enjoyed every choice I made. Overall this game is solid 9/10. One will surely enjoy the game.

Great story but has its nuances, scripts, scripts, why I could not leave Carly alive, because without her death was not such an intense story, but still the story is cool, the game is also recommended to everyone to pass. 10/10

TWD is a masterpiece of storytelling, blending tough choices with a deeply emotional journey. Playing as Lee and protecting Clementine creates a bond that feels incredibly real, making each decision hit hard. The characters are rich, the atmosphere is tense, and the story pulls you in from the start, building to one of the most powerful endings in gaming.

The following content may contain spoilers. This review is based on my experience after completing The Walking Dead Season 2.

This is the best game from Telltale I've played so far. The first season was incredibly engaging. While the format continued in later seasons (like the episodic structure), the feeling of intensity and despair from the first season started to diminish in later ones. I first completed this game on an iPad about ten years ago and recently played through it again on PC, gaining new insights—it was surprisingly just as amazing.

In this game, you have to make tough choices, where each one often harms others in some way. A simple example is in Chapter (episode) 1, where if you choose to save Carley, Doug will die, and vice versa. Both characters are good people with unique skills that would be useful for survival in a chaotic world. There is no way to keep both of them alive (and, in the end, both end up dying). This sense of regret permeates the entire game, which is perhaps why this game has left such a lasting impact on me.

Though I highly recommend this game, I do have to be honest about one aspect. The company markets it as "tailored by your choice," but it is, in the end, a linear story. So, when you first play, you might feel that phrases like “Kenny will remember that” or “Lilly noticed that you’re lying” imply huge consequences. But in reality, even if you save one person and let another be killed by walkers, it ultimately doesn’t change much because everyone eventually dies—the story’s ending is predetermined (or about 95% predetermined; for Season 2, it's roughly 90% predetermined, and after that, it becomes even less relevant…). So I was surprised when Carley, whom I saved in Episode 1, was still alive in Episode 3, as it implied extensive plot branching and voice acting. This is the longest-lasting branching I’ve seen in such games—usually, the result is that the person you saved at the start of an episode dies for other reasons later in the same episode.

However, this doesn’t make the game any less enjoyable. It just reduces some of the psychological pressure when making choices. It’s a bit like life—the ending is inevitable, but the experiences and moments along the journey are real and unique. For example, if you're kind to Clem and say certain things, she’ll remember them forever. Though death will eventually separate you, she’ll carry memories of your choices with her as she moves forward. This deeply moved me. It’s hard to put into words just how powerful these emotions are in such a desperate setting, but if you ever feel a lump in your throat when you hear Clem say, "I miss Lee" instead of reminiscing about her own parents, I don’t need to explain further. This intricate emotional development is one reason I strongly recommend Season 1—you witness genuine relationships forming, unlike in later episodes where characters’ relationships feel more pre-set and lack depth.

I think I’ll comment and highlight the brilliance of Season 1 by focusing on the characters.

Lee—Enough said. Clem's protector, seen heroically navigating a sea of walkers in the final episode, is simply a hero. Yet, he’s also flawed; he killed his wife’s lover in a moment of (misunderstood) rage. He protects Clem but doesn’t sacrifice everyone else for her, unlike Kenny. He stays calm and faces the consequences of his actions. Like anyone, he wanted to hide his violent past but could also face it openly. When bitten, he remains the team’s anchor and focuses on saving Clem. Like Clem, I miss Lee.

Clementine—the true protagonist of the series (a realization that surprised me, LOL). Her recklessness (seeking her parents) leads to Lee’s death (and Ben’s too), but she saves Lee many times. Think about it; she’s only eight (nine when Lee dies). Her longing and connection to Lee are deeper than with her own parents, which really moves me. Her resilience surpasses that of many adults. I look forward to Season 3.

Some other characters, like Kenny—I don’t like him much. I don’t know what he’s thinking—Duck caused Shawn’s death, and Kenny, after refusing to save Shawn, blames Lee. He can’t face killing a zombified loved one, yet casually kills others' zombified family members (like Lilly's father). And in the end, he blames Lee for not siding with him during his impulsive moments. This was my choice, of course; you could always choose to support him. But even later (no spoilers for content beyond Season 1), he shows that he can’t control himself, posing a risk to the group. I understand his pain, but he causes too much conflict. Nevertheless, he did save my life (e.g., from Lilly's dad).

Lilly and her father—I initially thought Lilly might be a romantic interest. But no, lol. Her casual killing of Carley or Doug made me unable to stick with her. Her father almost killed Lee. These team members simply couldn’t be part of my journey.
Reflecting on my favorite character so far, I realize it might be Mark, though he appears briefly and meets a tragic end. The cruelty of episode 2 is more memorable than the scenes of killing walkers. In the end, Mark drags himself on the floor to kill his enemies and save our lives. I was moved. In episode 2, there’s a bug where using a controller makes it impossible to avoid being killed by Andrew on the electric fence—I had to use the keyboard to bypass it, as per forum advice. This bug has been around for over a decade and hasn’t been fixed.

Ben is the only one who stays with me in the end. He’s just a kid, but he proves himself to some extent. I’m not sure if he ever becomes fully trustworthy.

Carley—There’s a potential romantic subplot with her, even though she initially had mutual feelings for Doug. She’s calm, skilled with a gun, and saved us multiple times. Her death, caused by Lilly (and Ben), feels pointless (or maybe it was because the developers didn’t want to continue branching storylines).

Omid is kind but lacks notable abilities. Still, it’s reassuring to have someone trustworthy. Unfortunately, his wife Christa is ruder and more selfish (though she has her reasons). This limits Omid’s performance.

In summary, this game is highly recommended. Even if you don’t have time to complete the rest of the series, just finishing Season 1 is worth it. It leaves a long-lasting impression and tells a complete story. Although your choices can’t change the ending, the different experiences make it memorable. So, I suggest not trying to please everyone or intentionally saving people you know will live longer. Be in the moment and make choices from the heart. Then, when others remember you afterward, you’ll think back to who you were and the choices you made. Those memories are the most captivating and moving.

This is a great game that showcased amazing character development and a perfect storyline to go with the flow.

I recommend every gamer to buy this game to get the feel an action packed and satisfactory experience of creating your own story by making decisions by yourself.

Amazing story, Great characters, Fun to play.
All over a great game would HEAVILY recommend.

A game that proves that a masterpiece does not need graphics and action, but just a great story. The Walking Dead is an excellent game with remarkable characters and an exciting plot in such a way that any defect or limitation is left aside through this experience, a game that will be eternally marked in memory of any player who likes good stories.

The absolute best game

If you enjoy decision based games, this one’s for you.

The Walking Dead Telltale Series Season 1 redefines what a narrative driven game can be. From the very beginning, you're immersed in a post apocalyptic world where every choice you make has a tangible impact on the storyline. The narrative is rich and layered, making you feel emotionally invested in each character. It’s impossible not to grow attached to them, especially to characters like Lee and Clementine, whose bond becomes the heart of the game.

One of the game’s biggest achievements is how it makes every decision feel meaningful. The choices you make not only influence the plot but also shape how characters perceive you, adding an impressive layer of immersion. Each decision presents complex moral dilemmas, and there’s rarely a “right” answer, realistically reflecting human nature in times of crisis.

im thankful i waited to play this, i wouldnt of done it right when i was younger but overall as of writing this im only after finishing the second episode and its the best story ive ever played

Legendary series, you got to play this series if you have never played it. Amazing story!

This game is awesome. Your choices matters, every single one of them. Very unique and action driven gameplay crafted with a great story. Highly recommend.

This game incorporates immersive storytelling into digestable gameplay. Even though I knew some of the major plot points before going into it, it was an amazing experience.

its a pretty good game if u love choices based game u should definitely try this you wont be disspointed the game is hell of a roller coaster journey i faced some problem with save but the game is awesome 34 hours + gameplayed

-OH MY DAYS BEN IS SO STUPID ASS BOY ( Bro was dragging EVERYONE down and almost got the group killed 4 TIMES within a 2 day like span )

9/10

it's kinda depressing how shit this version of the game is considering how it should be the definitive version, i feel like the xbox one/ps4 "complete season" version is the best in that regard because this just feels like a sloppy extension of the xbox arcade version, such low quality textures everywhere when they really shouldn't be.

the game's really good and you should still play this version over the "defintive" collection but jesus man it's in a sorry state

I still think this is the best the series has to offer with some of the most memorable characters. If you're going to choose any walking dead game, make it this one.

Insanely good game pls its worth the euro 50 rn and the other seasons also get i might get it too

Hall Of Fame Game, first of its kind to really have impacts on how you play. Furthermore, makes you question your decisions and choosing what is morally wrong or right.

Unless its Larry, then hes a dick who cares.

The best storytelling game i played in while cant belive i buyed it just now this game is 10/10 altough the ending was...something sad but if you like good story telling games this one is definetly made for you

The way it plays with human conscience, making it impossible to satisfy every character with your choices and creating an utterly never-ending situations of suspense is what is truly brilliant about this game. The gameplay might be slightly tedious in some chapters as your character doesn't run but that is not really much of a big deal and I don't complain. And I can't complain because the game is so immersive and intriguing that it's a bit difficult to stop playing it. At some point, I was like ''this game doesn't have a pause button, does it?'' It's beautiful. It's heart-wrenching. It's frankly such a good run. It makes you feel things and think about what you've just experienced.

best story oat istg this game made me tear up after knowing the entire storyline for years,this is what i call PERFECTION in a game 10/10 no debate

Probably one of the top story games. Played/watched twice and it has incredible story line.

Subsequent seasons aren't nearly as good, but this is one of the best and most memorable stories in gaming.

Keep your hair short, friends.

I was hooked the whole time! if you are a fan of the show or this genre of gaming - i 100% recommend a playthrough.
10/10 storyline and 10/10 atmosphere. its jam packed with emotion and tough choices!

One of the best story line games, love the characters. The ending is really emotional, it will always be one of my fav games

The 10's were the second part of the great era of videogames and i miss that time. Fuck all the modern and woke games this thing will change your life.

Point and Click games are good for me because I'm a newbie and I was getting too frustrated trying to play harder games. This game gives me some satisfaction because I don't get bogged down trying 20 or 30 times trying do do stuff. Maybe once I get used to this game I can graduate to something harder like Skyrim.

An emotional ride filled with difficult choices

"The Walking Dead game is a rollercoaster of emotions. From the moment you step into Lee's shoes, you feel the weight of every choice you make. The writing is top-notch, and the characters are so well-developed that you genuinely care about their fates. The art style is unique and fits the dark, gritty atmosphere perfectly.

What really stands out is the way the game handles tough decisions—some choices are gut-wrenching and leave you second-guessing yourself. The voice acting is also fantastic, making each character feel real. Overall, it's an unforgettable experience that combines great storytelling with intense gameplay. If you’re a fan of narrative-driven games, this one is a must-play."

Such a masterpiece i ever played. Their story my choice. Literally the best game i ever played

this, this was a masterpeice of a game, probably the first game that I've ever played where I geneuinly cried
(yeah no shit I cried)
