Venture further into the undead-laden streets of New Orleans in the new installment of The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. With new challenges presented by the relentless Axeman and the Tower’s intensifying power struggle, unravel the link between these looming threats before time runs out. Encounter new characters, explore uncharted territories, and equip yourself with innovative weapons and gear on your journey to a decisive city-wide showdown. Will you outlive the horrors that await? The choice is yours.
The beloved features from the original Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners game are back, now more polished and immersive. Engage in intense physics-based combat against hordes of the undead, made possible by VR technology. Accept missions from various characters and factions across New Orleans, amassing valuable resources and loot. Your survival strategy is yours to decide - will you master melee, become a sharpshooter, or tread quietly in the shadows? Your decisions will define your character’s reputation in the city.
A new, formidable enemy awaits - The Axeman. More lethal than any walker or survivor, this menacing figure is hell-bent on your destruction. Will you decipher the mystery of this post-apocalyptic predator and end his reign of terror, or will you fall victim to his wrath?
New Orleans is ready for further exploration, both in daylight and after dusk. Discover new locations, meet new locals, and slay more walkers in the French Quarter. When the day’s adventures end, prove your survival prowess by navigating the city at night, where more loot, undead, and thrilling escapades await.
Interact with the Exiles, a new faction of survivors in New Orleans. Disowned by the Tower and refusing to align with the ruthless Reclaimed, these survivors stuck in the turmoil can offer you significant rewards in exchange for your help. Alternatively, if you’re inclined towards the path of the Sinner, you can seize their resources by force.
Should I play The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution in 2024?
The good
Some reviewers did enjoy the game, finding it fun to play despite its issues. One reviewer mentioned that the mechanics are really fun, and another said they didn’t regret their purchase.
The bad
The majority of reviewers were extremely disappointed with the game’s performance, citing bugs, lag, crashes, and controller compatibility issues. Some reviewers felt that the game was overpriced and that it should have been released as DLC rather than a standalone game. The lack of updates to fix the game’s issues further frustrated many reviewers.
Verdict
Based on the reviews, it’s clear that The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners - Chapter 2: Retribution has a long way to go before it’s a decent game. While some reviewers did have fun playing it, the numerous bugs, lack of updates, and poor controller support make it a hard sell. If you’re considering buying this game in 2024, I’d recommend waiting for a deep discount or considering other options. Unless the developers can somehow conjure up a massive overhaul to fix the game’s issues, this title is best left for the bargain bin.
