Why There Should Be More Games Like The Walking Dead: Video Game

The Walking Dead video game by Telltale is probably the best game I ever played in all my years of playing video games. One of the main reasons why it is such a great game is because of how well done the narrative is and how much control the players gets with decisions that really make a difference in the game.

That is why I should think that other games should be like The Walking Dead: Video Game. To many games out there are relying gimmicks and same game elements that has borrowed from other games.

The narrative would be an after thought in most games out there, and to tell you the truth, that is why some of us play video games in the first place, because the core gameplay was fun. However the Walking dead showed how a videogame with a heavy focus on narrative can really make one of the best games of the decade.

There was little action but a lot of dialogue. To some people, it is annoying to just go through dialogue, at times it can be frustrating, but the Walking Dead is an example of how to use narrative in a way to immerse people.

All the characters in the Walking Dead were fleshed out, they weren’t one dimensional characters that were just robots. The exhibited a realism like never before, they really made us care about who was about to die or who we really didn’t care for.

The Walking Dead really is showcase of human ethics, they show the emotions of humans, the actions they do, and how humans react to a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies.

No spoiler intended, but the ending of the Walking Dead video game was truly sad and brought the whole game to a close and showed how much effort and passion that the writers put in the game that achieved so much.

Yes, the graphics were sub-par, but that doesn’t really take away from the achievements that the game has accomplished.

Games might not just adopt this kind of style, because this style doesn’t fit for every game concept that would come out. But games with great narratives are what really makes games masterful and memorable.
