Journey vs The Walking Dead: Season One
Journey
Journey is literally a quintessential "artsy" adventure game. Why so? Well, the game puts you in the shoes of a mysterious robed figure who you will control throughout your adventure across beautiful, quiet and mostly desert landscapes. Each landscape provides players with a puzzle to solve that will allow them to move on to the next scene, though players can simply roam around the place and drink in the gorgeous visuals.There isn't a lot of buttons in the game and that's fine enough since you really don't need much to solve the puzzles, but personally, I'm incredibly intrigued by the Sing function. Although it is used to solve certain puzzles, most of the time you'll probably be using it idly while your character is travelling. Depending on how long you press the button and how fast you do so, you can actually create amazing little tunes that you'd love to have it recorded down and turned into perhaps a ringtone or something.
That said, Journey is a game that's so much more than composing music and solving puzzles. It is a journey (like its namesake) to help the robed figure discover who he/she is and to help you figure out what's happened in the game world, resulting in the sprawling desert that spans most of the game.
The Walking Dead: Season One
The Walking Dead: Season One is the first of the 3-season, story-based game series, The Walking Dead, from Telltale Games and it has rapidly rose to fame partly because the TV series of the same name was (and is still) incredibly popular, but mainly because of the powerful writing and animations that are enough to make even grown men weep. The story in this game puts you in the shoes of Lee Everett, a convicted criminal who is given a second chance in a post-apocalyptic world filled with the undead - a second chance that came in the form of a young orphaned girl, Clementine. With the girl in tow, he vows to protect her at all costs in his own personal quest for redemption. This season contains 5 episodes in total, namely A New Day, Starved for Help, Long Road Ahead, Around Every Corner and No Time Left.The most interesting part about this game is that you'll be given the chance to make critical decisions that may drastically change the path of the plotline, resulting in a very different ending. Much like the gamebooks of old, this game offers multiple endings for you to discover. Sometimes, you'll even have to make important decisions within a limited time (almost immediately, in fact), enhancing the immersion and realism of the story itself.
Garnered over 90 Game of the Year awards, The Walking Dead: Season One will definitely provide players with plenty of nice side stories in addition to the main plotline where you can meet various famous characters in the TV shows before they all ended up in the same city where the first few episodes of the TV show were set in. This is a game that fans of The Walking Dead or of a good story-rich game shoulsn't miss out on!
