I know that it's nearly six years old, but here's Zero Punctuation's review on The Walking Dead Season 1. Keep in mind that Yahtzee only reviewed Episodes 1 and 2.
"Well, like a pair of stealth trousers, this was an unexpected turn-up: a retro PC adventure game franchise dredged up from the most stagnant and constipated bowels of memory to be turned into an episodic adventure game series in which your choices have lingering effects on the plot, and it isn't by Telltale Games?! If I were them, I'd start worrying about the sanctity of the cozy little niche they've made for themselves up the bumhole of other people's intellectual property. I remember hearing that Telltale Games might have been trying to get some fingers into the King's Quest pie at some point; Telltale Games are like a homeless person in a food court, sidling up to people with half-finished meals going, 'Are you going to eat that?'"

Um, the game he was reviewing was actually King's Quest: A Knight to Remember. Oh, and BTW, The Walking Dead was ranked fourth on Zero Punctuation's list of the Best Games of 2012.

Oh I'm sorry, sometimes I miss obvious mix ups like that. And yeah I know he liked the game but the quote still stood out to me when I saw the thread. Part of the reason why I like Yahtzee is that while his shtick is ripping into games for comedy he doesn't let that get in the way of giving credit to a game that's genuinely good, most of which you'd expect to be perfect snark bait like Undertale (which I really enjoyed not saying it's a bad game) and he usually prefers story focused games so if he enjoys one I know it's worth a look.
