So…
I’ve finally started The Walking Dead, and I have to say, I think it’s the saving grace I personally needed. I’ve become so disillusioned with games these days that everything is such a pick up and drop experience.
Most modern games are throw-away experiences, and while some are exceptional on certain development levels, there’s a shocking amount of them that you’d play, then simply forget. So, with this in mind, I decided to finally start TWD the other night. Starting chapter 3 soon, the game has already managed to establish powerful connections between me and the characters. In fact, it’s already grabbed me by the curlys, slapped me with fear, anxiety, love and concern and tossed me into an emotional rollercoaster – It’s omething I haven’t felt in a while (not the curlys part, but the emotion).
With an industry plagued with mediocrity, TWD has lived up to its name as something rather special I think.
