That's a dangerous trick, because if a game gets caught pulling it, all player investment is instantly severed. It's built around what for now at least is nothing but a MacGuffin, is mostly an extended chase sequence about someone we barely know running from someone we don't know at all, and with a really clumsy use of what I normally refer to as "Schrödinger's Cock-up" - actively changing something crucial in the world to screw the player over an action. The final one, Bonnie, I didn't like at all. Of the remaining stories, I didn't care much for Vince's, purely because it felt more like a short movie that occasionally remembered to stop for button presses than an adventure with choices to make, not least because as a prisoner on a transport bus, he literally spends most of it chained up at the back. Russell's section works in a similar way, except that it's a getting-to-know-you affair about him, a kid on his own, simply being given a lift by a creepy and mildly crazy driver who'd likely be found hanging out with Tallahassee at the Zombieland bar. Their mild bickering and obvious camaraderie is refreshing. It's fun to have a pair of TWD characters who genuinely like each other, rather than one simply feeling responsible or them having no choice but to stick together.
Wyatt and a friend are fleeing some mysterious assailants in their car, but really their story is all about the bromance. The other two stories I really enjoyed, Wyatt's and Russell's, are simpler, and built on excellent character writing. Can't wait for Fables, especially if it can do the character moments without the constant risk of jump-scares.
