Sometimes it takes a long time to produce a great game and developers had this sneaky idea, why not break the game into multiple episodic parts and make even more money. In some of the games I will mention they indeed made a bunch load of money by doing so. Bad part of that deal for the players is the long waiting time for episode to be released and their wallet somehow gets thinner by playing this games. Here are some of the best episodic games out there.
Starcraft 2
As you might already know Starcraft 2 had three games and three campaigns, one for each race and every one of those expansions took 2 years to make. Starcraft 2 is 6 years old game already but with episodes or expansions it is still alive and going strong with the most popular RTS Esport. Epic story with the most iconic races came to an end with Legacy of the Void but I'm sure we will see Starcraft 3 in the future.
The Walking Dead
Popular Comic Book, popular TV Series, popular Video Game. Walking Dead franchise is dominating the media world. In this point and click action game you will play as survivors of the nasty plague that turn people into zombies. Gut wrenching story, main characters dying all the time, this game has all that and more.
Tales From The Borderlands
Borderlands games are first person action role playing games with wacky characters and dark humor. Tales From Borderlands took a different approach to this game and went old school as a point and click action adventure game. You plays as two crazy characters Reese and Fiona that are trying to beat the bad guys. Very funny game worth playing.
Game of Thrones
Just like Walking Dead franchise, Game of Thrones is rushing to make money everywhere. In this episodic game you will meet many characters from the TV Series but the story is based on brand new characters from clan Forester that are trying to make it in this grim fantasy world.
