10 Incredibly Emotional Video Games That Will Totally Break You

8. The Walking Dead (Season 1)

There's a chance Telltale will never write a story so masterfully paced, told or scripted as their first season of The Walking Dead.

Taking The Walking Dead mythology as a baseplate and moving away from the increasingly ridiculous actions of the TV counterpart, it allowed Telltale to strike lightning, marrying a mature narrative that was wholly original in 2013 to a modernised take on the point n' click genre.

This more considered pace lets you really get into the mindset of multiple characters, before implementing a series of decisions that both shape the story, decide who lives or dies, and which characters' motivations truly get fleshed out.

It may have gone completely off the boil with its second and third seasons, but Telltale's original attempt at expanding on Robert Kirkman's fiction is one everyone should play.
