    This is absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best gaming experiences of the year. It's still just a little too early to toss around GOTY nominations, but there's no doubt in my mind that The Walking Dead will be on a short list for a number of critics when those considerations start to make their rounds.

    Some of this season's best, and Episode 5 is the emotional finale fans deserve.

    It's love that makes The Walking Dead not only Telltale's best game by a mile, but also one of the best adventure games ever.

    As good as the comic is, and as exciting as the TV show's third season has been, this vision of Robert Kirkman's zombie opus will always be our one, true, definitive version.

    The Walking Dead offers a level of narrative quality that outshines anything else currently available in gaming. It makes the TV series of the same name look dull, poorly paced, and insignificant. These are the most important games released this year, and we simply can't recommend them enough.

    No Time Left is the finale of an emotional adventure that is told in the best way possible. Never did we have such compassion for a game character. Even after a few years you will remember Clementine and Lee and the hard choices you had to make. An amazing ending to an amazing game.

    No Time Left provides a fulfilling sense of closure to this first series of Walking Dead episodes, even while it strays from the story and characters that were developed in the earlier episodes.

I felt attached to all of the other characters towards the games conclusion due to the fantastic writing by Telltale. It's conclusion is sad but both satisfying as it will keep players hooked for the wait of Season 2. in my opinion, this was not only the best game of 2012, it's ranks up to being one of the best games ever created. You'll see what I mean once you complete Episodes 1-5.… Expand

    Hands down the best game I have ever played in terms of story, connection between characters and players. This morning as I finished this gameHands down the best game I have ever played in terms of story, connection between characters and players. This morning as I finished this game at about 8am for the final 5 minutes of dialogue between our main characters I began crying, when the title screen came up I for a moment felt angry "Wait, WHAT? That's it", when it showed me all the characters I'd come in contact with over the past 7 months a deep pain set in and I felt bad for some of the things I'd done, and I cried for them. When the credits ran and the lyrics said "take us back oh take us back" I couldn't stop myself from heaving heavy sobs and wishing that for these 12 digital people we could have stayed away from the place that doomed them. It is so powerful and potent of an ending that I'm not sure I'll be able to play my alternate save right away. It's an hour and a half later and I'm still trying to disconnect and get ready for work this morning. This was everything that Kirkman brought to the comics, the sense of dread and never ending sorrow, it is something we are just starting to see in the show. I applaud telltale for not falling into the typical zombie game pitfalls and trying to tidy it all up and keep us all happy, for making me wonder where my beloved characters are. In staying true to the spirit of Kirkman they surpassed him in devastation.… Expand

All five episodes culimnate into an emotional experience unlike many found in film, television, of even any event in my short life on this earth. My tears have dried, yet the attachment to the characters I'd crossed paths with with never leave my memories and will forever change all relationships I have until I graduate from this life. If you can, you really should invest the time to live a short time with Lee and foster the relationship with Clementine and the colorful cast of characters involved in this masterpiece. Do yourself the favor of the $25 investment. It's much cheaper than a visit to a theripist and you'll get more done.… Expand

After finishing the fifth, I am already assured this is definitely the game of the year, without question. The stylish graphics and the gameplay is much the same from the previous games. But this has probably the best conclusion I've ever seen in a game. This game moved me absolute tears, more than any form of media has in this Millennia. It's not an over-exaggeration. It is that good. The decisions here come to full fledge here to make this more than just a game. It's an experience

I go to resume playing this episode and the game has forgotten that I finished the previous one and wants me to continue minus hours of progress - either that or have my story decisions randomly generated.
