    Great sequel but not as legendary as the first.

    I really enjoyed the second game in The Walking Dead series from Telltale. It tells yet another great story, lets you bond with the characters and is overall a work of art. I still think the first game was better in terms of story, but that did not change the fact that I enjoyed this one immensely. The Walking Dead: Season Two is the    Great sequel but not as legendary as the first.

    I really enjoyed the second game in The Walking Dead series from Telltale. It tells yet another great story, lets you bond with the characters and is overall a work of art. I still think the first game was better in terms of story, but that did not change the fact that I enjoyed this one immensely.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two is the direct sequel to the first The Walking Dead game. It picks up where the first game ended and continues with Clementine as the main protagonist.

    The story is a piece of perfection and, just like the first The Walking Dead review, I will not spoil anything. This is something that you need to experience for yourself.

    One of the best aspects of this game is that it can import your choices and outcomes from the first game, including the 400 Days DLC. People react to you based on the choices you made from the original The Walking Dead. So epic.
    Graphicly, The Walking Dead: Season Two received a nice upgrade. Besides the improved cell shading and animations, the game is a lot darker, something that enhanced the experience really well. The sky is dusk yellow most of the time, giving you the feeling of an apocalypse wasteland.

    The sound design is just as good as the first game, especially the voice acting of all the characters. It is the sound where Telltale games shines the most. This shows with the soundtrack, which is excellent. It even got nominated for several rewards. You know that you are doing it right when you achieve that level.

    The Walking Dead: Season Two plays in the same style as the original game in which you use point and click mechanics, quick time events and choice making to work to the ultimate ending of the game. Every choice has consequences, and, at times, real moral dilemmas are present in which both options are technically wrong or unfair, but you have to make a choice.

    You need to react fast at times and are not always giving the opportunity to think things through. This aspect of quick reaction is realistic and if you make a mistake in game by providing a wrong answer or an answer that people are not happy about, it is just like real life, in which you do not have the perfect response or solution available right away.

    Originally, just like The Wolf Among Us, new episodes would come out every few months between each other. But, just like The Wolf Among Us, you can also buy the retail version, including all the episodes.

    The episodes themselves are great, every one of them and the overall length of the game and the episodes themselves is fair. You got a solid seventeen hours of story ahead of you when playing the game, which is very acceptable for just a story based, on rail point and click game.

    Like I said, I would prefer the first game over this one, but this is my personal taste. I think this is mainly because of my attachment to Lee from the first game.

    Overall, I loved The Walking Dead: Season Two and, once again, Telltale Games earned my deepest respect for creating this beautiful game.

    Absolutely recommend it.    … Expand

    While the graphics and animations improve upon the first season, the story does not. It's not terrible, but the characters are noticeably more bland and the story is much weaker. I believe the first 3 episodes are decent, but the last two are some of the worst in the series. The ending was still emotional, but it just felt very rushed compared to the first season.

    This game is not bad at all, but when is compared to the first one, the things just happen too fast, you don´t get to know the characters very well and there is no puzzles at all, this really sounds more like a movie than a game, but it´s good too see Kenny and Clem again. Besides all it´s problems, the game have powerful scenes and a good final act.

    This game is no match to season one(heard that Telltale changed writers and CEO when making season 2). The main storyline of the game lacks a clear goal, which makes me lack the motivation to complete it; the newly introduced characters are very flat and boring, which makes me not care about their fate at all; the portrayal of female characters is much worse than in the first season, withThis game is no match to season one(heard that Telltale changed writers and CEO when making season 2). The main storyline of the game lacks a clear goal, which makes me lack the motivation to complete it; the newly introduced characters are very flat and boring, which makes me not care about their fate at all; the portrayal of female characters is much worse than in the first season, with their behavior and motivation revolving around men and lacking agency. Telltale’s decision to change the writers and CEO was very unwise , as their talent and management skills are not comparable to the previous team.… Expand

    Not as good as Season One, but Telltale competes only with itself [Oct 2014]

    The game plays on emotions with ease and I think only a heart of stone could prevent you from feeling moved by some scenes. [Nov 2014, p.62]

    The further we get from that finale the deeper it sinks in. You need to experience it. [Dec 2014, p.78]
