The Walking Dead’s Episode 5 has some high expectations to meet. For the better part of a year, players have been making decisions, struggling to survive, and watching those they love fall to the horrors of the zombie apocalypse. Episode 5 was in the position to either raise the artistic bar or falter in its conclusion like so many other great story-based games have done in the past (Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 3, for example). 5/5
