The walking dead video game is a great game that teaches players that sometimes you can't change the things that happen around you but your decisions can always affect how others react to your character. This game also teaches players how morals can be compromised given certain circumstances and situations.
Sparky Clarkson makes a great point in his review of the decision-making part:
"But the choices in The Walking Dead aren't really about changing the world, they're about changing Lee."
The choices don't really affect how the game turns out; Lee and the other characters that die still die, but your decisions during the game affect how the people die and in turn affect your relationships with the other living people, too. I had Lee make some "good" and some "bad" choices, depending on my perspective of what happened in the game.
I really enjoyed this game because it was interesting and engaging. The fact that you could make your own decisions about what to do and where to go made it much more realistic and your relationships with the characters seemed much more authentic. While the outcome of the game is mostly the same no matter what decisions you make, each game experience is unique to each individual that plays because each person makes Lee's decisions based on their own morals and biases. The game was engaging because you were constantly making decisions and socializing and trying to survive the walkers. Throughout the game I became attached to the characters and will admit I cried at the very end.
1. What do you think happened to Clementine after she killed Lee?
2. If you could go back and play again would you have made different decisions?
3. What other decisions would you have liked to have if you could choose which decisions you made?
