Telltale Games created a masterpiece with the Walking Dead game series and I took the hook, line and sinker when I first started playing the game. Now almost two years later after season 2 finished leaving fans with mixed emotions on how things ended, Telltale Games seemed to have closed the story with season 2. The famed developer company has been quite busy lately with the alternate story of their Michonne miniseries and just yesterday I saw the newest addition will be a Batman game coming later this year. All of Telltale’s games are pretty awesome if you ask me, as I’ve tried just about all of them, but the big question on the table is when the heck are we going to see the next season of The Walking Dead series release?
Mashable actually did an interview with Telltale Games back at the end of March this year which is when the release window was announced.
If you played Season 2 then you hopped on the roller coaster ride along with all us other fans, probably having anxious moments as it might have seemed like that was the end because everything felt as if it came to a close. Telltale does plan on continuing the story but not in the way fans are expecting. It looks like season 3 might take a very different turn in how the story is presented to us. Either way I’m pumped to see the game and can’t wait for it’s release.
In the meantime I think I’ll go back and play through season 1 & 2 to catch back up on the stories. I’ve got my ears open for this one, so as more comes out on the game you will definitely see me posting about it.
First of all I have to start with WOW, as Ubisoft has achieved an art style with this game like none other I’ve ever seen! This game has some of the most intriguing and charming characters a game could ask for, but what makes this game stand out most is it’s earthy colors and use of a hand painted art style. This RPG gives a lot of love back to it’s predecessors as it pulls game mechanics such as exploration, crazy puzzles, and a fantastic combat system that’s become my favorite in the genre. If you enjoy the RPG games, then this one will quickly become a gem as it’s rewarding, fun, and quickly pulls you into it’s world of mystery, magic, and elegance!
The fairytale like plot holds your attention quite well, and the story, though at times is distracting was superb! There’s a traveling jester who can’t figure out how rhyming works, a love-sick mouse archer, and most importantly, the main character that you get to play, a young girl named Aurora who’s trying to save her father. Aurora’s transformation from a frightened child to the hero of her own story is a journey worthy of the beautiful art work it’s accompanied by. Some modern RPGs suffer by either abandoning too much of the choice and depth that first made the genre interesting, or by piling on needless systems that don’t add anything to the experience. Child of Light makes neither of these mistakes, giving it a very balanced play style across the board.
This games biggest win is the combat system though, as it mixes a classic turn based system with some very beautiful real time elements, like icons that move a long the bottom of the screen indicating when you or your opponents turn is. Battling in the game is more then just mindless button pressing, or repetitive skill spamming, as hitting an enemy in the middle of an attack will interrupt them. This element created a constant feeling of strategy and timing that had to be played, but also gave you a sense of great accomplishment which made it quite enjoyable!
Hey again everyone!
This story became dark quickly and all happiness, smiles, and sense of safety was sucked from the monitor you’ve been watching. Clementine’s new family has now just been imprisoned by Bill Carver, the maniac who debuted in Episode 2: A House Divided. Clementine and her gang’s overnight escape plans put everyone at risk, and the story line built a very uncomfortable and surprising climax which will make you squirm in your very seat.
Telltale games has done something pretty magnificent with this episode as they have made me play Clementine completely different. Her bitterness in previous episodes was changed as she opened up in this episode to the people she found and so quickly became family with. This was all done because of Carver and his psycho tendencies, as it pulled you away and shows what can happen when you become cold and don’t cherish life.
