    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season is an amazing experience, but there's a second better version of it: The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series, which is not that different, if at all, to the original game, but it includes remastered versions of all the other games in the series.

    And so ends one of the best stories ever in gaming. Unfortunately, it also marks the conclusion of Telltale Games' story, along with the game's narrative. The creation of this game was filled with challenges, from Telltale's bankruptcy to the uncertainty after the release of Episode 2. Thankfully, Skybound Games took over and completed it.

    In any case, TWD: The Final Season is exactly what it should be, especially after the third season (A New Frontier), which was slightly weaker compared to its first two predecessors. The story is pure gold, and the ending is a true diamond, one that completely took me by surprise. I won't provide too many details to avoid spoilers, but it's worth noting that this final game/season is in line with the quality of the first two in every aspect – story, gameplay, exploration, character control, character development, and more. I must applaud the addition of the over-the-shoulder third-person view in this final game. It's a brilliant addition that works exactly as it should, even though I was skeptical about it before trying it out.

    My only criticism would be directed towards a particular scene in the final episode that doesn't make much sense from my perspective, but I won't elaborate further to avoid spoilers.

    In any case, I finally felt those typical TWD feelings from Telltale that were somewhat absent in the third season. I don't believe there will ever be a game or a series of games that can evoke the same emotions this series did for me. Thank you Telltale for all the brilliant games. There will be none like you, and nobody will manage to create amazing stories and cinematic experiences as good as yours. Goodbye Clem, you will forever be one of my favorite characters ever made, and goodbye Telltale..!    … Expand

    I've never played a game like this in my life. This game is one of the best story games in the world. Those who didn't play should regret it.

    Best story I’ve ever played. Clementine is one of my favorite characters now, and Violet is so cool, she is my another favorite character aside from Clementine.

    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season's reversal from Lee teaching Clementine how to be strong without being cruel to Clementine teaching AJ how to be good without being weak works perfectly.

    At least on paper, this game isn't perfect. There are a lot of little things I'd like to try to fix. The dialogue is below the standard set by the first season and I spent a fair amount of time arguing with my TV about why I didn't like any of the options I was being made to choose from.

    But after I finished this game I cried for a few hours, went to sleep, woke up and cried a bit more.    At least on paper, this game isn't perfect.

    But after I finished this game I cried for a few hours, went to sleep, woke up and cried a bit more. I'm not exaggerating; that really happened. It might say more about me than it does about this game, but it's never happened to me before. I don't cry a lot. I'm pretty sure I don't have depression or anything. It's just a very moving game, okay?

    The complaints I had feel minor and superficial in hindsight. I'm not sure they actually were, but it feels that way. I guess they were just outweighed by everything I loved about the game.

    The broad structure of the story is actually very well put together. The characters really grew on me and so did the setting: Ericson Academy, a boarding school where all the adults have either died or fled.

    It's got much more of a YA-feel than the previous seasons, but it fits with where we are in Clementine's life and development. The zombie apocalypse has been going on for eight or so years at this point, so it makes sense that Clem would occasionally be able to find time to be something like a normal teenager.

    That said, just in case the apocalypse hadn't forced her to grow up fast enough, she's also the mother of her adopted 6-year-old AJ. Many of the big choices in this season hinge on how they might influence the person AJ will become.

    Great music, too.

    I'd put this game in second place out of the four seasons of Telltale's The Walking Dead, but I'd also put it in third place out of every video game I've ever played. I've played more than a few games with incredibly clever gameplay and enough depth to fill a section of a library, but neither Chess nor Disco Elysium have ever made me weep openly. At least, not in a good way. Chess is really hard.    … Expand

    A nice breath of fresh air after the mediocre second season and the trainwreck that was the third one. While it still doesn't change TellTale's tired, old formula, it dramatically improves on the writing, gameplay and art style. We have a story that makes sense and isn't incredibly boring, characters that have a soul and a heartwarming relationship between Clementine and AJ.

    In spite of my 6-year old love of the TWD universe, it can surely be said that the game deserves its final. Clementine became our own daughter/friend during the past years, we've seen her in good and bad days, gone through lots of difficult choices and situations, seems like there is nothing more to say, yet it makes me feel sad to say goodbye, but it is the only word suitable, I suppose.In spite of my 6-year old love of the TWD universe, it can surely be said that the game deserves its final.

    I hope some of the Clementine, Lee, Kenny or Xavier creators is reading this, and the only thing I can say is a thank you)
    Словами не передать как много эмоций принесла мне эта игра, мне до сих пор тяжело поверить что персонажи в ней - всего лишь выдумка и их не существует, да и честно говоря, не очень хочется в это верить. Это был долгий и тернистый путь, мне очень жаль что TellTale закрылись, однако я считаю что их игры будут помнить всегда, их наследие не забудется, и надеюсь что эмоции полученные в ходе прохождения всей линейки TWD хоть когда-нибудь получится испытать вновь))    … Expand

    I m gonna be real and give this an 8/10 even tho I would ve given it a 9/10 cuz the ending made cry happy tears. This was such a refreshing season and a concluding one at the same time but of course as a game its pretty boring when it comes to gameplay, and even the story isnt flawless. But I will say I will remember this game cuz it had personality to it

    After completion, the more I think about this game, the more disappointed I am.

    Only 4 short chapters. Only 3 or 4 small and samey locations where you could actually walk around a bit. Maybe 10 total characters that we get to meet - all of which are as rapidly fleshed-out as humanly possible, as if this were a half-hour TV show.

Heavy on quick-time events with annoying button combos like Shift+Q, 3 or 4 tedious and tricky combat sections that seem tuned to make you fail them a few times so you don't notice how short the game's length actually is. A narrative and theme that are an unsubtle copy and mash-up of major elements in season 1 and 2.

    The art and voice acting are great. It's just a shame the writing is so lazy and the scale of the game is almost claustrophobically small.

    I'd give it a 6.5, if I could. Nice closure for the curious fan, I guess, but don't pay full price.    … Expand

    The final game that follows the story of Clementine.
    My expectations were constantly growing higher and higher each new game they published and for this game my expectations were set so high that I felt it was near unreasonable.

    But like with the first game, they managed to make a game that was so wonderful that even my high expectations were not set high enough.

    Knowing this was going to be the final game, there were some reasonable fears I had with this game.
    What will happen to the main character?
    By this time, I already knew from experience with the previous games that this game can be extremely harsh with how they handle characters, and my fear wasn't as much of "how" or "when" will something happen or even "if" something would happen, but rather would they respectfully handle any situation with the character.

    I can say yes, they respectfully ended the game series with a lot of different choices.
    The main character has been learning things and behaviors from everyone she encountered in the previous games and at moments it shocks you.

    You'll go: "Oh, yeah I remember teaching her that in Season 2, I wish I did something different"
    And that's the beauty of this game.
    You followed a girl from a young age and see her become a woman.

Y esto tiene su impacto en el juego, que es el más breve de todos y tiene algunas de sus funcionalidades (como importar partidas anteriores) deshabilitadas porque los servidores de TTG ya no están funcionando. Pero, con todos los problemas y limitaciones que tiene, lo cierto es que consigue ser un final digno para la saga, con una historia que tiene muchos paralelismos con el primero de los juegos. Eso si, personalmente, creo que hacia el final hay algunas escenas que, por generar tensión dramática y esas cosas, no acaban de tener demasiado sentido. A cambio, especialmente en los primeros capítulos, han hecho un esfuerzo por intentar dar más espacio a la jugabilidad, con algo más de exploración y cosas por el estilo.

    Gráficamente el juego cumple sin grandes alardes, manteniendo la estética y esas cosas que hemos visto a lo largo de todos los juegos. Sigue teniendo, eso sí, algunas animaciones un tanto ortopédicas. El sonido cumple bastante bien, la verdad, al menos en inglés. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, no ha tenido bugs, más allá de las funcionalidades que no funcionan por estar offline los servidores.

    Por todo ello, es un final digno a la saga, quizás no el mejor de los capítulos, pero que lo hayan terminado ya es casi un pequeño milagro. Así que, para los fans de la saga, es un juego que vale la pena jugar, al menos para darle cierre a toda la historia. Un 6,5.    … Expand

    I am quite satisfied with an ending to this long story. I was not expecting it to be any good, but having invested money and time into previous installments I had to check out this one as well. I must say it is worth the time to play through if you liked original The Walking Dead.

    When i first played the very first season, i was in love with the TV show, and the computer game surely delivered the same emotions and thrill.
    But as the TV season went on, i've realized, that Telltale has told a complete story that probably surpasess the show in every form.
    Goodbye Clem!

    We conclude with great sadness this saga alongside Clementine. Even if it is quite short, the episode still offers us a great deal of emotion and action. Produced in the same manner as the previous episodes, it still brings some innovations and does not simply end the adventure softly. AJ takes off for the worse and for the better.

    It's so exciting to see Clementine growing up and guiding another child just like what Lee used to do. The ending is depressing but with an amazing twist. If you love the series and care about the destiny of Clementine, you can't miss it.
