The television adaptation of the Walking Dead comic book has been a massive success since first being shown on AMC in 2010. It has attracted a vast audience around the globe, with Fox showing it in over 120 countries. But which is the best game based on this franchise for fans to try?

The Walking Dead by Playtech

This slot game by Playtech is one of a few official games based on the AMC TV series. The developers have been able to use the image of characters like Negan, Daryl, Carol, Michonne, and Rick. The idea is to get a matching set of symbols over one of the 50 paylines.

A variety of features spice up the gameplay with free spins, four jackpots, and The Tower feature. The latter is triggered when six or more coin symbols appear on the screen. They are then held in place during a set of re-spins and a cash prize is awarded at the end according to the number of these symbols on show.

It’s one of a large selection of slots that we can see on sites like Paddy Power, where they offer free spins no deposit on registration to let new players get started by playing 100 free spins before making a deposit to their account. Their first deposit is then rewarded with another 100 free spins offer.

 The Walking Dead by Telltale Games

This graphic adventure game came out in 2012 and has had several seasons added to it since then. It can be played on a range of devices, such as Windows PCs, PlayStation 3 / 4 / Vita, Xbox 360 / One, and smartphones.

Based on the original comic, this Walking Dead game takes lets you join the action right from the start of the zombie apocalypse on the East coast of the US. The player follows the adventures of Clementine as she starts in the company of Lee before joining the New Frontier survival group. A few of our favorite characters from the comic pop up at different points in the games.

This game received good reviews and has remained popular over the years thanks to how it offers tougher and more in-depth puzzles than those that are seen on many other games in this genre. In addition, the decisions made by the players about things like which character they help to survive have an effect later on in the game.

With season 11 of The Walking Dead returning to AMC in February and expected to hit Netflix and Disney Plus later in 2022, we can expect to see the popularity of this franchise continue to grow.
