Our quick take

The Walking Dead - 4.5 / 5

A brief history

Character-driven

Point-and-click

Blood ‘n’ guts

To recap

You’ll either love it or loathe it. The Walking Dead: The Game is like a bloodier, better-acted, zombified version of Heavy Rain. It’s 2012’s glorified point-and-click adventure, with bells on. If that’s your idea of a nightmare then stop, do not pass go, do not collect £200, this won’t be the title for you. If you’re open-minded then the great voice acting and engrossing, decision-based story is great fun and ought to suck you in.
