Are you looking to buy The Walking Dead Destinies and are wondering if it’s open world or not? Let’s go through everything you need to know. TWD: Destinies focuses on telling the classic story of the series/comics while allowing you to make different decisions and change everything, including the ending. However, many fans have been wondering about the actual gameplay and if it reflects the true survival open-world experience.
The Walking Dead Destinies gameplay – is there open world exploration?
Unfortunately, there are no open-world elements in The Walking Dead Destinies. You are always in an instance where you’re limited to a specific area while trying to complete a certain objective. You can’t go out to the world with no objective and start looting or killing zombies.
This is because the game focuses more on story and alternate endings instead of exploration. You don’t need to search for extra supplies or loot items outside of the story missions. The story gives you everything you need. This takes out the scavenging-for-supplies part of the series, which is a disappointment for many fans.
While it’s not an open-world game, it is a single-player, action-adventure game with survival horror elements that includes a lot of cutscenes with violence and gore. The only question is, is that what you’re looking for?
To summarize, The Walking Dead Destinies is not an open-world game. While it is inspired by the series and comics, it focuses more on the story and less on exploration. Your main goal is to make different decisions and explore outcomes that haven’t been seen in the series. Thus, if you’re looking for a survival game where you’re exploring the world for resources and upgrading your gear, TWD: Destinies is not for you.
