I'll be honest, while I think this trailer is awesome, I feel like the music selection doesn't complement the trailer well. It reminds me more of season 1 of true detective. The music in itself is fine but to me it doesn't set that harrowing, desperate, dangerous vibe.

A good example is The Walking Dead. The music for that show was perfect. It does an excellent job of setting the tone for what comes next. Surprise, shock, horror, characters having to choose between bad decision and an even worse decision.

This trailer though almost feels like a slow methodical western.

In terms of everything else though, it looks very solid. The clickers in particular sound perfect just like in the game. Perhaps even more menacing. I'm looking forward to 2023!
