The Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 5 – No Time Left Review

Visuals Remain Crisp
The visual side of The Walking Dead: The Game has always done an excellent job of immersing you into the experience by bringing a graphic novel feel to fit the narrative. Episode 5 is no different from the rest. The facial expressions and gritty look of the game make it seem once again as if you are watching a graphic novel in motion. Watching Lee go on a killing spree through a group of walkers is epic as hell as well.

NOT

Still Some Small Hiccups
No Time Left still suffers from the small hiccups that we have seen in the previous episodes of the game. You will occasionally see some slowdown when going through large groups of walkers and I even saw one clip through a lamp post at one point. The sound occasionally doesn’t match up with the game but that wasn’t as big a problem as the previous bugs. The episode is still phenomenal but even the minor things are enough to briefly bring you out of the experience.

VERDICT

The Walking Dead: The Game – Episode 5 – No Time Left is an excellent ending to the first season of the game. It told an amazing story and kept me hooked throughout the 7 months it was released. By the time the credits finished rolling, I found myself wishing that more was coming next month. Even though this was a downloadable title, I am not afraid to say that it was one of the best games that I played this year. If you haven’t played it yet then definitely look into picking it up when it releases on disc on December 4.
