The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Reviews
Aside from some graphical limitations, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is an excellent experience and one of the best the Quest has to offer
There's a lot to juggle in The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, but it's not a bad thing since each feature adds a layer of survivalism and immersion. Though certain weapons are uncomfortable, and there's that NPC audio issue, it's likely due to being the first available build of the game. The lack of physical crouching is irritating, but the combat, climbing, stealth, and RPG mechanics make up for it, putting you in near-complete control of the character. Every suspenseful moment is an addiction, and it's an incredible experience all neatly packaged for you to slowly unwrap.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners is one of the best VR offerings we've seen to date with a lot of love and care being put into the making of this game. While it's not perfect by any means it's still something that I can recommend to any VR user.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a faithful VR adaptation that creatively knows what it's like to fight walkers and stay alive.
Even with a sizable graphical downgrade, The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners (Tourist Edition) is a wonderful launch title for the Oculus Quest 2. Its attention to detail and outstanding interface truly help the platform and title shine.
It's rarely I can say this but for me The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners had dragged the VR platform forward. With its perfect VR implementation, its brilliant control scheme and its visceral combat, it a pure joy to play. A nasty, gruesome edge of the seat joy but a joy nonetheless. Brilliant.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners would be a great game even if it wasn't in VR.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is not a perfect game, but it's an incredibly fun one.
Any owner of a dedicated PC VR headset owes it to themselves to buy and play this game. Saints & Sinners sparks hope in me that VR still has a bright future ahead — even if that future is a dark, damp New Orleans.
The Walking Dead: Saints and Sinners may well be the very best single-player game available on the Quest right now, as well as already being one of the best VR games on the market period. While the dull narrative presentation does make the story elements a real slog, once you get past them (or skip them), you will find a game that understands everything that makes a VR gaming so special—and I doubt zombie killing is ever going to get more fun than it is here.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners’ moment-to-moment combat makes it easy to recommend to PSVR owners.
The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners would almost be a perfect video game if it weren't for the innumerable technical problems that plagued the game a month after its release. The developers promise progress, but with so many different platforms, it seems difficult to get a complex game like this on track. Therefore, it is not yet clear whether everyone can really enjoy the game at the present time, and intensive research is definitely recommended before purchasing. But when things do go well, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners effortlessly ranks in the top league of VR entertainment and is worth a great recommendation.

While The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners may not be for everyone, it perfectly embodies what VR stands for. This is an exceptionally immersive adventure that truly puts you in its world. Your walker kills feel earned, and your effectiveness is completely reliant on your own physical ability. With a lengthy story for a VR title and incredibly deep gameplay, this is one that’s worth jumping into.
The Walking Dead Saints & Sinners is a cool VR game that feels feature complete and is well-worth the asking price. Whether you’re a fan of the TV series it’s based-on or not, this is just a cool game for VR audiences. It boasts excellent production values and despite featuring more “zombies” which is a very common theme in VR games, manages to avoid the usual wave-shooter mechanic we’ve seen so many times before.
Skydance Interactive is crowned with this game based on the popular zombie franchise, putting on the table an experience full of details, immersive, and totally worth enjoying and suffering in equal parts. Just a couple of details make the game not completely round, but despite them the end result is totally positive.
