Pretty good. I do not like the TV show, I haven't read the comics, and I really don't like anything that has to do with zombies all that much. That's the reason I've avoided this game until now and finally decided to pick it up during that Halloween sale long after all the episodes had been released and Season 2 announced.

It's great storytelling - that's about it. The gameplay is very much QTEs and quick decision making, along with some puzzles which are mainly just you roaming around finding items that you can use to get past a certain point. The QTEs are often "mash A" (or Q if you're using K&M) to fight off a zombie or something. If I'm ever willing to forgive QTEs then it would be in this game because the story is just really good, and every decision really DOES make an impact on the rest of the game. I also appreciate that the decisions aren't black and white, they're very morally ambiguous and you often don't have more than 10 seconds or so to think about your choice.

I liked it enough to immediately buy The Wolf Among Us as soon as I finished this game, and I'll be getting Season 2 without a doubt. I wish they would experiment with some different gameplay mechanics but the writing, pacing, and overall atmosphere was nailed beautifully.
