The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is a tactical brawler, not a straight fight
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival is out now on Xbox Series X|S and PC for $19.99, with Xbox Play Anywhere support so your save follows you between them. It's set in the All Out War storyline, with Rick, Daryl, Michonne or an unlockable Negan each getting their own weapon and skill tree. Walkers swarm you in numbers while the Saviors fight back with ranged attacks and blocking, and Xbox Wire says the harder difficulties turn fights into positioning puzzles rather than straight combat.

On offer: hands-on gameplay, XBOX history and artifacts, meet-and-greets with the people behind the games, trivia, collectibles and a pop-up Xbox Gear shop. Two free sweepstakes are open for tickets and a travel package, but entries close October 11 and are limited to US residents 18 and over, so this one's not for us.
