The walking dead survival instinct
**will edit this after.. still a wip hehehe
This week i got curious and wanted to check out more of this franchise beyond the show and telltale game. I came across this kind of obscure game title called "The walking dead survival instinct" it basically focuses on Daryl Dixon and is canon to the TV series.
what srikes me is that this game came out around the same time as telltales game based on the same series and it is so dissapointing how the game itself had high hopes and excitment for many people at its time of anouncment but ended up being a major flop of a game based on a very known popular character. I think it lacked what telltales game had, a good story and very likable characters/development. The whole feel of this game is like shovelware or cash grab kinda vibes.
Game plot
to sum it up as shortly as i can, daryl and a couple other family memebers he has in this game leave the area they were staying at and decide to head to this place called Sedalia which is a town to find supplies. There is alot more going on in the general plot with merle and some other character plot but i asure you this game is very bland and boring in terms of gameplay and storyline. Here is the wiki link for the game itself where you can read a better explanation of the games general plot wiki page
Gameplay
The gameplay seems to be kind of lackluster, you need to find supplies and also interact with your group and trade items with them, but there are also many glitches and mistakes in this game that make it absolutely frustrating. The zombies in the game can get very annoying and can dog pile you so easily, the gun mechanics are a bit bad. The graphics are very whatever and look a bit cheap like it was rushed and no thought was put into it. It is a stelth game so there is a lot of that involved. I watched a good review video on the gameplay and general information surrounding this game. It showed how annoying the game can get when you do missions and side missons and how you aren't really attached to any of the characters or story which is a very big flaw compared to telltales very successful game.
