Rick and the gang have faced their fair share of betrayals, with these being among the most shocking seen throughout The Walking Dead TV series.
This talented actor has made appearances in several other games, whether as Sam Porter Bridges or Daryl Dixon. Players who want to enjoy games featuring their beloved celebrity’s face will find the following titles to be right up their alley.
8 The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct
Fell Way Short Of The Mark And Didn’t Do Justice To The Walking Dead IP
The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct is a game that simply had too many issues to resonate with fans. The combat was uninspired, and the title failed to invoke a sense of fun and accomplishment in players.
This game documents the history of the Merle brothers before they eventually stumble upon Rick and his group. It could’ve made for an interesting adventure, but the game doesn’t do justice to the likenesses of both actors with a forgettable action title that could’ve been so much more.
7 State Of Survival
The Freemium Mechanics Make This Title A Nightmare To Play, Even With Norman Reedus As A Possible Hero
Freemium games usually feature massive marketing budgets to convince more players to download their games and enjoy the simple yet satisfactory gameplay loop in these titles. State of Survival is no exception here, with players having to set up defenses and prevent their base from being overrun by zombies.
This setting is perhaps why this game paid the big bucks to acquire Norman Reedus’ likeness for their game. As long as players don’t mind the slow progression loop (something that can be mitigated with microtransactions), they should get some mileage out of State of Survival, which can serve as a fun distraction if players have some time to spare.
6 The Walking Dead: Onslaught
A Simple VR Walking Dead Game That Feels A Lot Like Arizona Sunshine
When people think about great Walking Dead games, Saints & Sinners is one of the more notable mentions. It’s one of the better action games that boasts a simple and engaging gameplay loop, with the act of grabbing zombies to shoot or stab them never getting old.
