I was once a fan of the company with their installment of the first season of The Walking Dead Game, as interactive choice type games weren't a popular genre but it was always something that peaked my interest. I was thoroughly impressed with the game design, and loved when they released The Wolf Among Us.
However, once you realise that choice is an illusion, and that the story doesn't tend to branch out too far, the magic is ruined. I tend to find myself playing these games nowadays with that feeling of mystery and curiousity gone - does anyone else feel the same?
I'm currently watching a youtuber playing through the first season of The Walking Dead, and it does seem as if there was some innovative ideas behind the project and the direction of your choices, it feels as if there is enough room to explore different choices, but also seems fairly linear enough so you wouldn't wonder if the story could drastically change based on a decision.
Thoughts?
