EurogamerVikki BlakeNov 2018There are flashes of promise in this first-person shooter, but this is a mostly uninspired, unpolished waste of an opportunity.

NoobFeedAdam SiddiquiNov 201880/100Overkill’s The Walking Dead is a difficult and cooperatively heavy adventure that values teamwork and collaboration above anything else. The story is limited but makes up for it with challenging cooperative action. Upgrading your character and expanding your camp allows for a steady stream of rewards as you inch closer to completing each mission makes every step closer to the finale a worthwhile endeavor. The difficulty can be unfair at times but Overkill’s The Walking Dead has a solid edifice to become something great.

VGProfessionalMazen AbdallahNov 20187.9/10Overkill’s The Walking Dead has some great, challenging gameplay that’s held back by lots of technical issues and poor design choices. It has the potential to be a great co-op action game, but at the moment it’s better at frustrating than it is at entertaining.

GameSpotAlessandro BarbosaNov 20183/10Overkill's The Walking Dead is a collection of poorly conceived ideas and uninspired gameplay, neither of which help its lifeless narrative and repetitive missions.
