Damn cool series if you ask me. Simple as heck, but no the simple android port kind.
I had an awesome time with the first 2 titles years ago and I truly recommend the series. I share the great feelings between these games and Poly Bridge. Both are meticulously fun and you're always eager to play more, beat that level and so on. One of the games I felt achievements made it more fun than they already are.

Also, this franchise crossover is most of the time pretty nice so no brainer here, if they keep gameplay intact and bring fresh ideas much like they did with the Portal installment! ;)

edit: WUT? These games have no reviews?? They're pretty cool! Maybe I should do a nostalgia based one for a change...

Does this one have a level editor that's lovingly stripped from the GOG version like they did with the Portal version?
This looks dumb but I instantly wishlisted it. lol.

I find them dull... I should like the concept, but the constraints on what you can do are so mindbogglingly narrow that, well, good luck finding a (or should I say "the") solution on your own. Maybe the TWD one will be different and not be a "there's only one solution and good luck finding it" puzzle game like the predecessors.

Yare yare, I cannot decide which of the 2 involved franchises is being milked more in this case.

TWD is doing the milking. It's doing everything in its power to get publicity for its last season, getting tie ins and licensed stuff everywhere it can. Including totally breaking Magic the Gathering and screwing its player base.

Yeah it's not the most polished game but they're pretty fun . Kinda rough around some edges but this didn't stop me from sinking like 17h on each of the first 2 titles heh ;)

Wizards of the Coast has a series of print-to-order, direct-sale things called "Secret Lair". Up until recently, they were experimental art alternate versions of existing Magic cards at premium prices, as a time limited, one-time only sale. Only available in US and a limited few other countries.

They decided to release a The Walking Dead one.

The cards for TWD were *new, unique, never before done* cards. Unique cards that are only available via this thing. "Unique new cards" like this is pretty much unheard of...

...A few had been done before, but they were "silver border", AKA, "not tournament legal" or not real cards; clearly collector items. These new ones were black-border, legit, real, sanctioned for events and play.

These cards also really pushed boundaries of power to generate even more sales of the weird cross-over product. Some of them are even viable for play in Magic's "highest power cards of all times" format.

Community is furious. Wizards stays course and continues to release, even having a snarky "never available again" type post on twitter about it as the limited sale window approaches its closing.

So, yeah... they printed powerful new cards in a limited, cannot ever reprint again way, and they're out-of-universe crossover product promotional cards that don't fit with the Magic universe at all.

(And this is on top of ALLLLLLLL sorts of other things Wizards has been doing to Magic since a former Zynga employee was put on the leadership team a couple years ago. And on top of them acknowledging publicly -- more than once! and once quite recently! -- before that limited availability special print cards are bad for the game.)

EDIT: Here's one quick link on it from a site. You can easily find MANY others. https://www.cbr.com/magic-gathering-walking-dead-crossover-mistake/

And here I thought the Godzilla cards were as bad as it got.

Yeah, nope. The Godzilla cards were just thematic alternate-arts of the cards in that set that were distributed as fun premiums that some people enjoyed. There was one card due to a misprint (purportedly anyway) that only had its Godzilla form and not "regular magic" form, though still the way they did the Godzilla cards, they can easily rectify that. The TWD, they can't very easily fix, since they can't reprint.

So essentially a very aggressive form of pay 2 win? (as in: even bigger one than what already was a thing in the Magic)

Well... I personally don't play Magic (for a number of good reasons, I am poor, this game doesn't interest me and also I cannot wrap myself around the idea of spending such ridiculous amount of money on items that aren't universally [ego WORLDWIDE, and I mean absolutely EVERYWHERE] seen as THAT valuable) but I know somebody who "sort of started" so I was curious enough to ask you about it.

Seems like (company responsible did) a really crappy shady move if you ask me.
