After multiple playthroughs, it remains one of the best story-driven games. Thank you Telltale.

I first played this game when it was released 12 years ago - loved it then, and love it again with the replay. The story line and game play are great and accessible, particularly for someone whose hand-eye coordination isn't what it used to be :D

The best The Walking Dead game series ever. I used to play this game back in the day many times. The story is so sad, but Clementine and Lee are the best. DLC was alright
