Graphics:
There was no real prologue, no beautiful orchestrated intro, no introduction in an action. It is simply thrown into a situation and takes some getting shocked by the humble, faded graphic that is worth absolutely no 55. So at least my first impression. This has, however, laid with increasing playing time. If you consider that TWD started as a comic and the episodes of Telltale Games were also held in comic aesthetics, it acts quite consistent and is the TWD atmosphere conducive. Just a pity that stretched down opponents rush unrealistic and dissolve after a few seconds in the air.
Action:
Even after six hours of play time has still not really an action emerged. Actually, you only tingelt from one place to another, trying to find resources to secure one's own progress and survival. More than Survival hardly exists. Here is the way towards the target. But that is not necessarily bad. The subtitle is, after all, Survival Instincts, so what we expect ?! At least says the lack of action is not for a full-price game. But you learn some more and some less familiar with interesting characters and trying to save them, because you usually even has what it. Therefore fits for self-preservation.
Gameplay:
The route is the goal! We are traveling with a vehicle from point A to B always aiming yes to what end really ?! The aim seems to be to place after place empty to plunder in order to survive. The larger the vehicle that we find, the more equipment and characters we can take. The latter, we can equip them with weapons, heal them and place orders, such as fuel or food to search before entering the village. The more companions and the better the equipment, the probability is that the more they come back alive and with inventories. We propose meanwhile alone through the area and looking for survivors and also secures everything survival. Fuel we need to get to the next place where the game is going on all over again. Is not very varied, but it is now time in a zombie-infested world, if you want to survive. So why complain? At a purchase price of 25 would be absolutely okay. Because the atmosphere and the creepiness vote.
TWD: SI is not a classic shooter. A single shot usually means their own death sentence. Who has a Shooter expected is logically disappointed. But a loud bang still attracting more zombies that know Rick and his associates from the series but long ago. Why does rain here as much about it on? Here is really in demand partly taktieren something in order to get past opponents or disable it. For me, a nice break and just real Zombie Survival.
Once surrounded by a horde of undead to throw after another to you and wants you more than just nibble on the earlobe. Five or six of them you can usually still aimed by some and R2 smashen ram a knife into the eye, but more against you have no chance. So I imagine a Zombietot. At best, however, you can advance after another quietly grab one from behind with a R1 tap done immediately.
Nothing is really challenging, but not really stupid.
Atmosphere:
The graph captures the comic style a reasonably. Toll the partly original music from the TV series. Individual zombies are chasing a ridiculous and not really a fright, three knife slashes or a strong blow with a sledgehammer and they are passé. However, a large mass can quickly lead to panic attacks and allow an escape without rhyme or reason through the area. Find Class I, because it would just me prosper in the real world. One or two showers a hunt one the zombies who still lying around in narrow dark corridors and two minutes later a sudden incurred from behind. It will really be forced here always attentive. This causes a constant feeling of insecurity. I find it good.
CONCLUSION:
THD: SI is a horror survival game and just not a classic shooter, which exposes a zombie apocalypse in and says: So, make time! Let's see how long you survive! That was it but also already. Hardly any action and modest graphics justify a full price at all. If you like the series or the topic and just feels like to experience what it's like after the end of the world to survive under zombies who can can give the game quietly or borrow for a weekend from the video store. If you really want to buy it may also buy used or waiting until it only costs half.
