You know what I love about this game? The zombies barely matter. Sure, they’re everywhere. Walking corpses. Empty eyes. Hungry mouths. Civilization collapsing around them. Cute. But the real monsters? They still know how to talk. That’s what The Walking Dead understands perfectly. Take away electricity. Take away laws. Take away supermarkets, police, comfortable little houses and all those rules people hide …

13 Years later and this game was just so ahead of its time for both game play and story telling. Yes hasn't aged the best in terms of quality and consistency compared to today's standards. HOWEVER, honestly the story telling, the unique art style and the characters, OMG the characters! The game stands alone on that. Lee and Clem's relationship is amazing and the ending will always make me cry. If you like rich story …

Turns out the real zombies were my emotions all along. A beautifully crafted emotional‑damage simulator where the zombies are mostly just background noise compared to the moral dilemmas chewing on your soul. Every choice feels important, even when the game quietly pats you on the head and goes, “Sure, buddy, noted”, before doing whatever it wanted anyway. Lee and Clementine carry this story so hard they should get …

Rating: 10/10 ⭐️ Playing The Walking Dead Game for the first time was an amazing experience. You make tough choices while trying not to mess up Clementine 😭, and every decision really matters. The story is incredible, full of emotion and tension, and the characters are unforgettable. This game isn’t about crazy action it’s about interacting with people, making moral choices, and teaching Clementine how to survive …

Watching a friend play Telltale’s The Walking Dead brought me right back to the first time I experienced it on my PlayStation, and I wasn’t ready for how hard it would hit me all over again. This isn’t just a “zombie game.” It’s a story about love, responsibility, fear, and the kind of hope you cling to when the world is falling apart. Every choice feels personal, not because the game is trying to trick you, but …

The ending is very sad I wish I could replay this whole game with my memory erased. This was just the first game too, which is crazy. "I suspose." 10/10 R.I.P my goat Lee Kenny + Lee for life

I love that lee could find clem, someone to live for and to care for when he lost it all. Clem is quite a nice child, not loud, not annoying. She listens and learns, understands or at least tries to understand the situation instead of being dramatic. Gameplay is fun, option to kill or spare someone also, yeah you will enjoy most of the game surely since it's a good story.
