Imagine being trapped in an old diner, surrounded by zombie hands breaking through the doors. In between gunshot blasts out the windows, a family squabble is adding to the drama, and at the centre of it all is the reliable gumshoe, trying to think his way out of yet another awful situation.

In adventure games, inventory items were made to be combined, and that was always easier done with mouse-based inventory management. Since this is a console experience, Tell Tale has managed the best that it could; one button opens up the inventory menu, then you highlight the item to be used. This goes into a sub-menu that allows it to be combined with another object in your inventory or in the active game. It sounds clunky, but there’s no real way around it. PC-style inventory management simply doesn’t work smoothly on a console environment, though Tell Tale has done its best to try to make it streamlined and accessible.

It all works like you’d want from a platformer. Once you get used to the rocket-pack mechanic, you’ll find yourself zooming all over the game map. The responsive controls are necessary, as the action gets in close quarters during some points, and the jump/rocket-boost/attack combination can get frantic. However, you’ll never feel like you’re out of control.
