Being a fan of pretty much everything the Walking Dead has to offer, comics, games and TV series, I was really excited for this! I’ve been waiting a long, long time. And I wasn’t disappointed.
The game is pretty cheap, on most platforms. Steam seems to be charging a lot. But it’s 400 MSP Xbox Live and $4.99 on PSN, at first the game had many issues, well not on Xbox Live, but on PSN players reported that the game wasn’t taking the choices made in episode 1 over to episode 2.
But, the game itself is pretty damn great! As you probably know by now, the game revolves around you making choices, who to save, how to save them, etc. And this episode is no different, the gameplay is the same, which is probably for the best!
This episode is called “Starved for help” and sees our mighty survivors desperate for food. It hits them as a godsend when some farmers offer them shelter and food, however many are sceptical. Now, fans of the walking dead will know that a large chuck of it revolves around a farm, and it’s almost as if they wanted to see how people would do things if they were in Rick’s shoes.
As you probably know the game shows what choices players made, and it’s coming to light that people seem to only want to protect Clementine. Which means, gamers have feelings!?
As always, the game opens on an very intense sequence, seeing the shit hit the fan instantly. The game tests how the player will react under pressure, and in my case, poorly. I ended up killing not one, but two of the three people encountered at the start, when I was aiming to save all three of them.
The group is quickly splitting up, and you have very little food. You end up having to share the little food between the whole group, which is usually someone else’s job, I took the method of “Who was outside with me hunting? And kids first.” Apparently this wasn’t very well taken, and people quickly became annoyed with me, saying I was picking favourites. Now, in this situation I would probably have broken the food into smaller bits, and shared that.
Through some twists and turns, you end up having to make some choices on morals, on what is and what isn’t okay to eat, however I can’t help but think one thing, by the end of it they’re all pretty hungry, I can’t say why because it’ll ruin the game, but they’re surrounded by corn, why didn’t they just take a shit load of that?
The game is a welcome expansion, and has left me wanting more, now. Hurry up!
