    It is a specially good season. I think it's the best after the season one.

    We got finally so much different feelings about the last season. Clem was one of my favorite character which I ever seen in my life. And after wathing this season... I would like to say that she is perfect. We could learn a lot from her. I'm sure about that. I will miss Clem so much. And yes, I will play    It is a specially good season.

    A worthy conclusion to Clementine's story. At the end of episode 4, I had to pause the game and run to the bathroom to wipe my tears and snot. 10/10

    Pretty good farewell to the series. As much as I would like it to be as emotional as the first season was, Telltale/Skybound did a pretty good job anyway. The story has it's emotional moments and the ending is just... Well, heartwarming I guess. Can't write much about it without spoilers, so I would just end here and let you enjoy the game!

    Still better than New Frontier and Michonne but that's not saying much. Choices feel like they really don't matter anymore and will in general just lead you to the same path outside of the ending. Sure certain characters will get certain outcomes but in the end it really didn't matter like the first two seasons. It's not bad but you can tell quality went down.

    This game is definitely one of those games that will never have anything like it. Sure I've had an amazing story rich experience in games like Mass effect, beyond two souls and the last of us but they're all unique in their own way.

    The whole telltale walking dead Clementine series was worth every penny so thank you very much to the developers for bringing this story to us. This game was so damn beautiful and really speaks to the care and love of human beings. THANK YOU    … Expand

    The Walking Dead has been around since 2012, and I have loyally followed it since, always staying hyped for the next episode after each one released. Here we arrive at the end of Clementine's story, where she is accompanied by AJ, who she has raised since his birth, and is essentially like her adopted son. It's great to see these two characters still sticking it out to the end after theThe Walking Dead has been around since 2012, and I have loyally followed it since, always staying hyped for the next episode after each one released. Here we arrive at the end of Clementine's story, where she is accompanied by AJ, who she has raised since his birth, and is essentially like her adopted son. It's great to see these two characters still sticking it out to the end after the late half of Season 2, and the chemistry between them is fun.
    MECHANICS
    - This game has changed a LOT of what Telltale is known for. Everything you say or do in front of AJ will transform him, directly, and it will impact how you play this game. You can't choose to constantly be silent, because it will bite you in the rear. AJ is like an actual child in real life; easy influential with what you say and do. After realizing this, I had to remind myself to stay careful of any decision I made if he was in the picture.
    - The combat is also revamped, and it is no longer to dull and boring quick time events strictly as the other games, now you have a two-step combat system: you walk up to a walker, stun them, and then kill them, or you can kill them and risk being attacked simultaneously by another walker mid-animation. It is simple, but it's refreshing to see Telltale not focus on quick time events now. I will admit though, regardless of how unengaging it is, it's quite fun to trap a zombie after making him chase you in a circle sometimes.
    STORY/CHARACTERS
    - The entire first episode was great in pacing-- it never felt too slow, never felt like it was moving too fast.
    It spent the right amount of time shedding light on every character you needed to know about, and it was good at having you like these characters as well.
    LENGTH
    - The episode took me roughly two and a half hours with one ten minute break. It is a VERY long first episode, probably the lengthiest one Telltale has ever made for any game, and again-- it didn't feel stretched out. By the time the game has you comfortable near the end, a certain event happens that will remain unmentioned and it makes you feel very uncomfortable and nervous.
    OVERALL THOUGHTS
    - With this being the first episode, which is normally the worst in a Telltale game, I have to admit that after playing it, I am HYPED for the rest of the season. I'm wondering how much better the episodes can get after this one, and the cliffhanger was insane. I can't wait until September, and I hear there are rumors a certain someone is coming back from season one!

    This is an unbiased review, based solely on the enjoyment I had from the first two episodes. If you have a connection to Clementine like I do, it is worth buying. There are many cliches in the story, but it still left me surprised at times and never held it back immensely.

    Потрясающая игра, не в плане геймплея и графики, а именно сюжета. Та игра от которой никто не будет равнодушным.

Эта для меня была первая игра в таком жанре и я не пожалел что прошёл её. Первый сезон вызвал у меня слезу, радость и горесть, что и смог повторить финальный сезон. Конечно бы хотелось чтобы у нас было больше возможностей для выбора в финальной части, но если подумать, то можно понять что это всё объясняется, тем что студия была на грани банкротства и не выплачивала зарплату разработчикам, честно говоря это чудо что игра вышла. Спасибо Skybound что закончила начатую работу Telltale Games, мне приятно что игра увидела свет и дала радость фанатам серии!

    Shame on Telltale. The only thing that this game can get from me is my despite. This is not part of the series, this is trash, this is the game of TLOU level. Still better though, cause it has it's name and better moments and without gameplay gets even.

    The game has become better in terms of gameplay. Graphics pulled up and the plot is not bad. A good conclusion to the story for the main character, but very controversial. Obvious illogical moments in the finale. In general, it was played with pleasure.

    Favorite Thing: I really enjoyed the story (most of it, anyway) and Clem's definitely one of my favorite female protagonists.
    Least Favorite Thing: That dumb hide behind the walkers part. Hated that.

    Playtime: 10h
    Enjoyment: 8/10
    Recommendation: If you've played the series up to this point you have no choice!

    I am very sad to see the series, and studio behind it go. Very few games, if any give me the same emotional response.

    The final season wrapped up the story well and it was full of moments that made question if I did the right thing, the highs were very high and I enjoyed my time with the entire game.

    The Walking Dead: Final Season is a satisfying conclusion to Clementine's story. Unfortunately, the quality of gameplay and decisions involved while reaching that is somehow disappointing compared to its prequels, despite the new take on combat.

There's plenty of intensity going on action wise and I did care about the consequences of how i shape the storyline's intricacies during those times of uncertaintity where my choices might lead. What i did not like was the feeling that Telltale finally tried to be somewhat woke, indicators of it pop up time to time during the game, guess it was only a matter of time for a Bay Area based studio, but luckily it doesnt take away too much from enjoying the game.

    The game also has by far the worst loading times of any Telltale game i've played, usually i dont care that much, but this time they really get in the way.

    So i guess this is it huh, it was nice growing accustomed to Clem and seeing her grow up as a person and character through out the series, though i hope something unexpected happens in future and we see her and AJ once more.    … Expand

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
