It's fine, but serves no purpose outside of having the characters cameo in the second game. Would have liked to see more of these characters developed in later games.
Imagine making 4 great characters and Bonnie for the sequel then only using Bonnie.
meh
bad
its real real bad

Didn't care for any of the characters. Worst case to utilize an anthological narrative.
was wel grappig
Not even the writers cared about the choices you make
Just plain mediocre. It’s fun seeing different perspectives of the apocalypse, but there was no way characters were going to be developed anywhere near enough for anyone to care with the little time they got.
Finished 400 days. While way shorter than a proper episode, it did feel like a new direction for the walking dead. We are introduced to a few characters in 5 different "scenes". It will all carry into season 2 so it is worth the 90 minutes it takes to finish this "episode". Waiting for season 2.
Nada interesante
An OK add-on but nothing special.
Nothing special or close to quality of the base game, but a pretty cool collection of small narratives, even if they don't come together to groundbreaking effect.
It's a fun little collection of one off stories starring characters that would have a small role in the second season of the game. It is short and can be completed in one sitting. It's pretty great for what it is. It's not mandatory to play or anything though.
"still not calling them zombies huh?"
part 1.5 of my great telltale walking dead binge
I'm such a fucking sucker for this style of narrative. 5 loosely related stories that all end up put together, with cute little ties to one another that make the world of this series feel so alive. choice, once again, does not matter. but honestly? i'm alright with that. i wish it did, but true choice would take so long to program for. what you get is a nice little side dish that helped satiate the starving drove of walking dead fans until season 2 could roll out, which i am starting moments after posting this. the first half of this series is so good, and i'm excited to see what the second half holds for me

This is a tough one for me to grade.
Even back when I was head-over-feels for Telltale's TWD, I wasn't that big of a fan of this and only replayed it a handful of times to 100% its trophies.
400 Days is what most associate downloadable content with: it's concise and doesn't do many new things. It simply takes what's there and tries to build off of it. Here's the problem with that, though: that's something that works in a more gameplay-centric title. Replaying the same level in a shooter might be a little repetitive, but there's still room for me to challenge myself and try new things out. You can't exactly do that with an Adventure game. You talk to the correct characters at the right times, solve the right puzzles, and then you're done.
None of that means that 400 Days never had the opportunity to be great. While your choices don't exactly matter in the base game, a shorter experience with more diverse chapters was a perfect opportunity for them to bake more impactful choices into the overall narrative. Add to that the fact that this is basically a collection of interactive short stories, and it's a real shocker that the player barely has any input in this. There's a lot of potential for gold here, but they dug silver up instead. I can settle for silver, though. It's a little disappointing, but I'll live.

A prelude to Season Two. These five single-character segments are fun but cut short too early.
'The Walking Dead: 400 Days' was made out to be necessary for 'The Walking Dead: Season 2', advertising the appearance of these five characters being essential. However, only one of them becomes a major character -- the other four make cameos. We paid for the option of seeing cameos. Great.
Ignoring the fake the characters are wasted in the next season, the stories themselves are actually ok. Not perfect but nice short sweet things that do the walking dead better than the show can.
Meh
buen dlc
a victim of poor pacing, what could have been a fantastic anthology series about various groups, and an even more poignant take on moralities in a zombie apocalypse than the original game itself, is rushed into just one short, mediocre episode. as it is, purely of interest for those that fell in love with the walking dead game universe and want more.
what a compelling idea for a season of a telltale game,how wasted this idea is
6/10
They said it was gonna impact the following season. It was bs.
Badly executed idea to add more to the Walking Dead season only deliver on none of it. Entirely skip-able and meaningless.
Fun and interesting short stories, tied together well at the end. Very enjoyable and tight.
This was a fun set of little pulp stories.
No hace nada realmente mal ni bien, pero es muy olvidable.
An interesting distraction for an hour and a half, but pretty forgettable and all of these characters mattered so little that they barely even existed in Season 2 despite the whole gimmick being "meet some of the upcoming cast!"
This is fine I guess? I mean, it was entertaining for what it was, but it really adds nothing of real value. It's just more Walking Dead, and for that intention it serves its purpose well enough. You're not given nearly enough time with the characters to even remotely care about them, meaning its hard to get invested. I wouldn't really recommend getting it as it really doesn't add much to the world nor is it a great standalone experience in and of itself. If you own The Definitive Edition though, I guess its worth a shot.
