How did The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series turn out? AKA Few reviews/little coverage since launch

[Princess Bubblegum]

Even though I started The Walking Dead Telltale series earlier this year, I never finished it and decided to hold off until this came out. It's been a month since release and no major publication has given this an in-depth review. From what I have seen/read is that there are still some glitches from the base versions still present, the new visual filter is hit or miss, and the PS4 version was broken on Day 1. Also it sounds like all the licensed music is included minus a song for 400 Days. Anyone have this and care to share impressions? I know PC is probably the best/safest choice for this but I'm tempted to get for PS4 but don't even know what the performance is like. I really hate Epic Games Store's lack of a review system like Steam. ._.

I'm playing it at the moment on PS4. Only just completed the first season so can't vouch for the whole thing, but it's been fine so far. Had a visual bug in the next time segment for episode 3, but it was just a next time segment so no big deal.

I've played the first two seasons before—the first on iOS and PS4. Haven't really noticed any major differences from those.

I have it on my PlayStation 4 Pro and visual wise, it's pretty buggy. I encountered some gameplay bugs too but they were pretty small and didn't bother me. Also, I didn't have any performance-related issues.

Graphic Black thing is not good. The Final Season was using Graphic Black but it also had better textures and overall graphics compared to other seasons. Currently, I'm playing the second episode of the third season, finished the first and second season and Graphic Black didn't impress me because the first three seasons (and probably Michonne too) has still low-quality overall graphics and the new style doesn't look good on these conditions. If you check settings for each season, you can disable the Graphic Black but I didn't do that, so I don't know how the game looks without it.

Other than Graphic Black, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series has gameplay videos for each season's first episode with devs and voice actors/actresses. I don't know if you can find them online but they're nice to watch. Also, every season's character models are in the game too if you want to check them and there're some easter eggs in there.

Sucks to hear that there are still some graphical glitches. I've heard the interface still favors PC so I may just get that version, though I'd really like to see some impressions for it. Fuckin' EGS exclusivity.

Is all the content on the disc? Because that might be enough to tempt me to buy to be honest.

For PS4, I do believe that is the case. Don't know for Xbox One.

I had a really big bug in Episode 3 I think of Season 2. There was two sections of gameplay with literally a black screen and only button prompts, it lasted for probably 10-15 mins.

Although it's a minor nitpick I can't believe they only gave it 1000 achievement points on Xbox when the previous walking dead collection had 4000.

Between it all being on the disc and the new platinum I'll probably pick it up. I never did play season 4.

Anyone have PC impressions for this? I want buy it but can't pull the $50 trigger going in blind.

I need to play this series and complete it. On 360 I played the first 3 chapter of season 1 and dropped it.

Bought this a year ago for $15 for a sometime play through. Or should I finish the 360 run first.

In anticipation, I downloaded everything on game pass thinking the disc was a container only to realize now the 1000 versus several thousand achievement lists .

Was recently browsing my library.

I just realized I really really need to turn on my 360 and sync all my cloud files because I never did it before.
