An incredibly powerful, emotionally engaging experience; a watershed moment for videogame narrative and storytelling. [Feb 2013, p.70]
Overall this game was a unique experience that is not your everyday type of game, but is worth playing and I would suggest this game to almost anyone. It is a game that simply tells a beautiful and tragic story. It sucks you in emotionally and does not let go.

It's perfect. For me one of the best stories in gaming, if not the best. It's so emotional and every single episode has so many good plot twists that leave you flabbergasted. Also the gameplay is actually pretty good and gives you a lot of options. The game has so many endings and can end in different ways. It's not scary, me as a man who doesn't really like horrors play it. The only games that can come close to this story-wise and genuine interest are probably Red Dead, The Last Of Us and Uncharted.

A highly well made game with amazing characterisation, story and voice acting. Truly has one of the saddest stories in video gaming history.

Using player choice, award-winning writing, and your own emotions, The Walking Dead: The Game delivers an experience that's flawed but unforgettable.
A memorable game with a superb, deep story that forces you to make tough decisions and live with them. [CD-Action 1/2013, p.62]
There are really too few game elements in The Walking Dead to justify calling it a game. Its amazing world, great voice actors and the tough decisions it throws at you constantly will have you completely forget about this though. It's a compelling story that grabs you from the opening of the game and doesn't let go until its controversial ending in the last chapter. The intelligent choice-system gives you the feeling that you're creating your own story, which is why you'll lose yourself in the characters in no-time. It never gets really challenging, but for those who enjoy a good story, it's a great enrichment of the Walking Dead-universe.
It’s not perfect but The Walking Dead is one of the most important advances in interactive fiction for a generation, with some of the most memorable characters of any video game.
The Walking Dead series offers one of the most intense game story of recent years that is not hardcore on its gamers from the adventure point of view. So relax, seat yourselves and let the zombie-apocalyptic world suck you in.
This was the first time a story in a videogame captivated me. Before this I really only played platformers and stuck to nintendo consoles. I experienced this whole game with my best friend at the time. Man that ending hit so hard and it really changed my outlook on storytelling in games. Yeah the choices you make all lead to the same story outcome, but the story and characters are so well written that it really doesn't matter to me that much. This game helped shape me into the person I am today. Play this game!

the first season is 10/10, the others chapters are not in the same level, but i mean, still better than the tv show.
