“I’m gonna make it real, Carl…”



The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a disappointing attempt to mix The Escapists' unique prison escape gameplay with the world of The Walking Dead, which everyone knows. While the concept has potential, the execution is riddled with flaws that taste sour. I know maybe my playtime is low for it, but I barely been able to hold myself. Now I understand why my friends tell me to try the game right after I buy it instead of waiting two years for it.


I'm sorry but it's hard to start. Like they had this much potential with this collab instead they went with short stories from TV Shows where there's no different outcome or story that will shock you since you know pretty much how everything turns out.


It uses the same game mechanics and tutorials from the same game. Even the tutorial feels odd and empty. Rick sees the blood and dead, torn-apart bodies and still calls for a "nurse."


Pros:
+Combining prison space mechanics with the zombie apocalypse is fun for a brief moment...
+Some moments that resemble the TWD get the feeling of reliving.
Cons:
-The Repetitive core gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive as there's only a small variation between levels.
-Technical Issues: The game suffers from frequent performance issues, including frame rate drops and crashes, making the experience frustrating.
-Uninspired Level Design: Many levels feel bland and uninspired, lacking the creativity and challenge of the original Escapists.
-Poor AI: Both friendly NPCs and enemies exhibit incredibly poor AI, leading to numerous frustrating encounters.

The Escapists: The Walking Dead has potential but never really uses it. If you are interested in escaping the zombie apocalypse, I highly recommend that you look for other games that are better made and offer more content. This game seems disrespectful to both the Escapists series and the Walking Dead universe.

4/10

Until next time.
Take care everyone.
