Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Each title in this game can be described as an interactive novel, where dialogue choices you make may determine the outcome of the story. There are no right or wrong choices, but some of the dialogue choices you make will affect how certain characters react in later chapters and episodes, so choose wisely.
During the action sequences, you control your character with a simple press of a button or swipe of a thumb stick. But you have to be quick as the wrong or slow move may result in your death. Thankfully, upon respawning, the action picks up almost immediately where you left off, giving you endless opportunities.
Every achievement in this game is story related. As such, you can play through each season’s episodes at your own pace, choosing whichever choices suit your play style. There is also no need to replay a chapter because of something you missed, but of course, if you so wish, you are free to replay any chapter to select different choices to see other possible outcomes.
Season 1/400 Days:
Welcome to the first season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead. This game is a type of visual novel and interaction is based on dialogue choices and quick-time events. It "tells the tale" of Lee Everett, the main protagonist who is being transported to a jail in Georgia for murder when all hell breaks loose. Along the way he'll meet a variety of characters including a little girl named Clementine. Through the course of the game, you will be required to make some difficult decisions as you are trying to survive this apocalypse with your newfound friends.
Also included is the bonus episode '400 Days'. This episode is a bridge between Season 1 and Season 2, and recounts the stories of five random survivors whose narrative is intertwined without them knowing.
Season 2:
Taking place many months after Season 1, this picks up with Clementine, now separated from her companions and on her own, encountering a new group of survivors attempting to make a better life for themselves.
After finding themselves held against their will, the group fights through many tragedies and letdowns as they try to overcome the hardship of surviving in this post-apocalyptic and often misunderstood new world.
Season 3: A New Frontier:
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier picks up three years after Season 2. You play as a new protagonist, Javier "Javi" Garcia, a sympathetic character who is just trying to survive the apocalypse as he struggles to keep his family together. Along the way you’ll meet up with Clementine, now a young teenager, alone and hardened at what she has been burdened with for the past several years. Together you will face the horrors of the undead as you fight to survive and deal with adversities, failures, and betrayal.
Michonne:
This off-shoot series tells of the events of Michonne and her time away from Rick Grimes' group for a period of time during the comic book series. It is considerably shorter than the main seasons and is a completely separate story.
While struggling with her past and contemplating her future, Michonne is thrust in the middle of two conflicting groups. After investigating a mysterious radio transmission, she encounters two siblings and is subsequently captured by an armed group of survivors and brought to their settlement. Escaping with her new companions, the group takes refuge in the sibling’s home. As she is reminded of the loss of her own family, Michonne tries to prepare everyone for the assault that is yet to come.
Season 4: The Final Season:
The final season of The Walking Dead takes place a few years after the events of A New Frontier, and puts you back in control of Clementine with a much older AJ at your side. Through the season you'll meet new friendly faces, some not so friendly ones, and even some old familiar faces, all the while trying to teach and train AJ to survive, similar to how Clementine was taught in the first season, providing a fitting and emotional end to this series. As with all other seasons in this game, all achievements are story-related and can not be missed, so make any choices you want as you play.
Conclusion:
With each season being released many times before on different platforms, this is the only release that encompasses the entire story of Clementine, from a scared little girl to a seasoned survivor. Despite the game only offering 1000, it's still a great story with interesting characters and engaging situations.
