Telltale’s The Walking Dead season
1 was one of the best story driven games I have played in recent memory. 400
Days is the DLC released this week as a precursor to season 2. I believe the
characters seen and the choices you make will tie in with who you will run into
in season 2.
The playthrough is only about an
hour and a half long but Telltale delivers throughout. You get to play as 5
characters who each have a short story tied to them. You can choose whoever you
want to play as in any order, and it all comes full circle at the end to
present you with some tough choices of possibly who you will see in Season 2.
Unlike in Season 1 where you only play as Lee Everet throughout, these short
mini-episodes have to pack the action while introducing and giving you insight
into these new characters. Short but sweet is how I would like to call them.
Telltale does a great job a creating interesting storylines and intertwining
each characters tales that you as a player can appreciate when you pick up on
the subtle hints in each story. So, although you don’t get attached to anyone
like you do Lee and Clementine in Season 1, I did become very interested in
finding out more about the 5 characters introduced and I hope to see more in
Season 2 to flesh out their stories.
The
gameplay does not change at all, it is still point and click with conversations
put in for you to make decisions which affect the outcome. The only weakness I can
see is some minor technical problems such as bad lip synching in some places
and every now and then the scene cutting seemed to be abrupt and harsh.
Otherwise, this was a brilliantly written game to hold fans over until Season 2.
The music was once again perfect for the situation and the voice acting was
superb. I am already looking forward to Season 2 and what Telltale has in store
for us all.
4/5
