Integrity Gone Bye.
There’s a moment during a particularly grueling fourth-season episode of The Walking Dead in which our protagonist, Rick Grimes, is appealing to the humanity of a man holding a samurai sword against a kind, gentle farmer’s throat. Getting more desperate by the second, he says “We can still come back, we’re not too far gone.” We mention this because it seems plausible that a few despairing developers at Brazilian studio Flux Games (Cobra Kai 2: Dojos Rising, Get Over Here) might have said something similar to publisher GameMill before submitting The Walking Dead: Destinies for certification. Unfortunately, the final result is, without question, not only a bad game but comfortably one of the worst premium-priced experiences on Switch.
