I'm hereby asking you for any recommendations because I'm very into The Walking Dead world now and if I win a voucher for buying something on Allegro (such a Polish E-Bay), I will buy for it such a game. Which The Walking Dead game is the best one according to you, I mean, the most interesting? :) What do you think?

I haven't played any of them, but the only ones I'm aware of is the Telltale series.
Do they have to be Walking Dead IP, or can they be any zombie games in general?

Have you read the comics?

I'd want them to be just the Walking Dead games (but if you know any other zombie games, then recommend them to me - but not the Resident Evil ones, I saw the walkthroughs on Youtube and I didn't like them too much). No, I haven't read the comics yet but I can try to look for them online :) I did read the novels, though - I like the Governor (though I haven't found his origins too believable); I'd love to read something like that about Negan too.

The House of the Dead games are short but sweet. They're actually remakes of arcade games that came out back when I was a kid in the 1990's.

Well there's always Left 4 Dead if you haven't played it, though it's more like 28 Weeks Later than a traditional zombie thing.
I always wanted to make a FPS game that was based more on the George A. Romero movies/rules, but I never got super far into development.

Oh! ZombiU was another good one, I need to play that one some more. I'm really bad at it though.

I forgot about the novels, I kind of skipped over those. Yeah, the Governor in the comics is a very different character; in the TV series he's more of a Southern gentleman...not so much in the comics/novels. He's pretty demented.
I don't know about Poland, but Humble Bundle has had deals for all the comics a few times. I have maybe half of the books in physical, and then grabbed all the rest in digital. They're really good, but don't expect them to be anything like the show (in a good way).
I can't remember if they went into Negan's backstory too much?

Oh! Okay, there are some Negan backstory comics:
The Walking Dead: Here's Negan!
Negan Lives!

I will have to check those, because I -think- I have them? And I'm pretty sure I forgot to read them. (looks like I only have the first one)
