#284 The Walking Dead Destinies
Fun 5/10
Diff 2/10
Time 10hrs
I didn't understand why the game got so much hate and bad reviews, but having played it, I can see why 😅
TWD destinies introduces the original characters and locations of the first 4 seasons of the AMC series, but with a twist! You can alter and decide key moments from the show, like who lives and who dies , thus not 100% following the show. An interesting idea on paper, but come the practical implementation, the game was an absolute mess.
I only gave this game a 5 because I am a big fan of the show and I did let many things pass. It was nice seeing the OG characters ( Rick, Shane, Lori, Carl, Glenn, Daryl, Merle, T-Dog, Carol, Sophia, Maggie, Beth, Herschel, Michonne, and The Governor) as well as the OG places (hospital, Atlanta, Herschel's farm, prison, and Woodbury), but it was so broken that even after Carl died in my playthrough, a couple of episodes later Shane was on a supply run and was like : " I gotta do this for Lori and Carl" 😂 also the game magically somehow brought Lori back to life in the final episode, even though she died giving birth in the prison 🤣 it was full of bugs like that, as well as lags and frame rate drops. The game performance was horrible, felt like a PS2 game to say the least. I actually liked the combat and gameplay, there are many weapons, combos and skills ,but it gets unresponsive and repetitive at times. The stealth mechanics are so broken ( you can hide in a floating smoke cloud 5 cm away from a walker and they won't see you lol).
Overall, I'd wait for a good sale if you are a fan of the show and wanted to give this masterpiece a try 😁 I mean look at the cast , they looked and sounded NOTHING like the show 😭
