What's so good about it? It keeps me wanting to play more of it, yet not too much at once to savor it. I want to get better at it, and not end most encounters in a panic as the AI outflanks me again. I would sooner compare the story and feel of the game to children of men then to twd. I'm not that far in yet though.
Btw I don't get people that power through it in one weekend then complain it gets repetitive. Watch 2 seasons of Game of Thrones without a break and tell me it doesn't get boring... Upto 2 hours a night is perfect, exploring every section, great game.
