The Walking Dead franchise became one of the largest in American pop culture from the AMC series premiered in 2010. For these 15 years they have brought numerous spin-off series, tie-inserts and video games, besides Robert Kirkman's original comics. From the group, Walking Dead Games They have achieved some of the highest critical recognitions-conceived, the narrative adventurous games of the Teletale, who have failed on the field in the genre with a high degree of players' selection of how the stories went.

These games are well known at this point, but they also do not connect directly to the TV show. Instead, they are attached to the special comic strip continuity. However, there are some other, lesser known video games "Walking Dead" that are Placed in the world of the AMC series. One of those, "The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct" in 2013, acts as a foretelling for Darryl Dixon (Norman Rids) and his brother Merle (Michael Ruker).

At that time, Darryl was already a favorite of fans, and his standing randomly grew only because, with A. Indo-Serie Series for Spin-Off "Darryl Dixon" Arriving in 2023, it has been run two seasons and counts. All of this can force you to go back and give it a "survival instinct" if you are a dedicated franchise fan, or especially to Darryl. But unfortunately, this is not something I can recommend. While Ries and Ruker expressed their shows in the game, it was a disaster in 2013, and now it looks just worse in retrospect. Instead, let me save your time.

The terrain for "The Walking Dead: Survival Instict" sounds like a good idea on paper. It takes place very early in the emergence of zombies, showing how Darryl and Merle Dixon arrived in Atlanta, where we met them at the beginning of the AMC series. Narratively, the game provides an additional context for the Dixon clan, explaining how the father and uncle of the brothers died. It also sets the tension between the brutal Merl and more cute Daril, playing during a series of meetings with other survivors. Oh, and we also get a little story of origin (or, at least, returning the story) of Daril's weapons by choice, a self -shot.

Game, "Survival Instinct" is a first -person scorer, where the player must balance the secret and shooting, while constantly hunting materials and fuel for the various vehicles he is using on his journey. Again, it sounds like a natural fit. Unfortunately, the execution was seriously missing.

The highest average score of the game Metacrytic is 38/100 for a computer release, with a version of the Xbox 360 lowest at 32/100. Critics and players have also called the game boring, tedious and semi -baked, with a little fun to be within the various play systems. You hope that the connections with the larger franchise will be redeemed, but even that aspect of the game was omitted.

"How scary it is as a mechanical instinct for survival, really depressing something is that it does not offer significant information or comments on the characters that turns around," wrote Games critic Alex Navarro in his review of "Review" Giant bomb Back in 2013. "Storytelling is Spartan to the point of almost non -existent."

That fascinating core of Survival Instinct, seeing it was the first role of video games of all kinds for Norman Rids, who became one of the biggest acting stars in the media thanks to his lead role as Sam Porter Bridges in the series "Death". Reids' work on the "mortal hair" is probably his second biggest role to date in terms of cultural influence, right behind Darryl Dixon. But while you could try to get a direct link between the games, Rids thrown by Kodzima had obviously had more to do with his more traditional acting.

The two were introduced by Guillermo del Toro. "Guillermo gave me my card and my first acting and I trust him with everything," Rids told Hollywood reporter In 2019. "I knew this man would be good if Guillermo was talking about this." At that time, the plan was to work together on a new game in the franchise for the horror "Silent Hill" - the one who is also known for Movieegoers with courtesy of his film adaptations - but that project gave up giving up. They finally got a chance for full collaboration of "death fibers".

Working with Kodzima was leagues different from what Rids had previously experienced on a "survival instinct", and ended up as a great success. "I've been in a few video games with" Walking Dead ", and they just came up with the territory," Rids told Trurr. "But nothing like this. I have never dreamed that I would wear a suit to shoot with Velcro through me. It was an explosion, I have to admit. "

A Live Film with "Deadly Fiber" action He is currently in deeds, but no team members have been published from this writing.
