The Walking Dead: Season One - Episode 4: Around Every Corner for Nintendo Switch

I was scrolling through the Xbox Store one rainy Tuesday, looking for something that didn’t feel like a grind. I’d already played the first three episodes of The Walking Dead: Season One, and this one - Around Every Corner - was exactly what I needed. It’s not flashy, but it hits hard. You’re back with Lee and Clementine as they make their way to Savannah, which looks like a lifeline in a world where every town feels like a trap. Honestly, the moment you step into that city and see kids playing near a collapsed building? That’s when the weight of everything clicks.

The good stuff

Man, the writing here just doesn’t let up. There’s a scene where Lee has to choose whether to help a group of survivors who might be hiding something, and the tension isn’t from zombies or guns - it’s from knowing that whatever you pick will ripple through the story. I remember standing there, sweating a little, wondering if I should trust them. And then… silence. Just a beat. Then a kid runs past, laughing. That moment stuck with me. The game makes you feel responsible for every decision, not because of some scoreboard, but because the characters feel real. The art style is simple, but it works - nothing distracts from the dialogue or the mood. If you liked the earlier episodes, this one keeps that same intensity going without slowing down.

The not-so-good

It’s not perfect. The controls are basic, like you’re navigating a text adventure with visuals. No combat, no puzzles beyond “talk to this person” or “choose the right answer.” And yeah, it’s only available on Xbox One, so if you’re on Switch, this version won’t work. Also, the episode ends on a cliffhanger that’ll leave you annoyed if you don’t plan to play the next one. But honestly, those are minor gripes. It’s short, yes, but it’s meant to be. This isn’t a game about action - it’s about people surviving emotionally as much as physically. If you’re after mindless fun or fast-paced gameplay, skip it. But if you want something that lingers after you turn it off, this is it.

Bottom line

If you’ve been on the fence about The Walking Dead: Season One - Episode 4: Around Every Corner for Xbox-one, just do it. It’s a tight, emotional ride that builds on everything before it. Worth every minute. And hey, if you’re a fan of narrative-driven games, this one’s solid - especially if you’re already invested in Lee and Clementine’s story. Don’t wait. Play it. You’ll be glad you did.
