This Walking dead game has great things in it, but problems that make people hate it. The Story is that Daryl's father gets killed in the beginning of the Apocalypse and Daryl has to travel through it to find a place to evacuate from, this is an interesting story and can work depending for how well it's done, although the ending is terrible. The Characters Daryl and Merle are great as always, the survivors you meet up with are good considering there isn't much time for them to do anything. The Graphics are bad, but they are not distracting, and it doesn't take away from the fun of the game, the environment doesn't look that bad, the atmosphere is holds it up a bit more. The Gameplay has you explore locations for supplies, killing Walkers and find and help survivors to get them to join you, and choosing where which paths to take on your journey that might lead to other places to scavenge from, but it could have been better, like scavenging fuel doesn't matter since if you run you, you just stop and scavenge a level that has more, it's also disappointing that your survivors can't join you in missions in any way, and leaving most survivors behind like that is upsetting and feels like they should have found a way around that for more survivors joining you somehow. The Controls for moving around are fine, using weapons is good despite a bit of stiffness, but there is this game breaking trick you can do, where you can be caught by a bunch of Walkers and stab them all in the head to kill them all, IT'S TOO OVERPOWERED and ruins the combat. The AI on Walkers is not good, sometimes they will move weirdly so it's not the best, but I didn't have any "they won't come after me" AI that other people's games had. The Side missions to collecting stuff are the same levels but flipped or at other entrances, this is lazy and could have had more effort, and the collectables suck, not worth any time, especially in a game where you already collect things. Getting perks though is great for replaying the game, since you can start off with multiple weapons or other perks to make the experience more action packed. Overall, this game is bad, but not as bad everyone thinks, as this game is fun and still works as a survival horror game but is only held back by broken gameplay.
