The premise of The Walking Dead: Survival Instincts sounds great on paper. The worst part of all this is that the game doesn’t really get any better from here. The next scene is a poorly constructed and immensely boring tutorial stage that has Daryl’s dad dying a scripted death at the end. The opening sequence is muddled and confusing, and launches directly from the title sequence (which is very similar to the show intro) into the gameplay. You start the game as Daryl’s Father, on a hunting trip in the woods of Georgia. Sadly, my hopes were crushed by a mediocre, weakly structured, and sparsely featured title.
Being a fan of the AMC television series, I was hopeful that we’d see another winner, like we did with Telltale’s version. I really wanted to like Terminal Reality’s take on a Walking Dead game.
