    In my opinion, the sequel to the 2012 game of the year is every bit as good if not BETTER than it's predecessor. Clementine is one of the best characters in video game history. 10/10

    is an entertaining experience while you play. If you dont like dialogues and you want only action, avoid. If you like stories, must have. i like it so much, you feel the game and the story. superb for the gender

    Season Two is full of genuinely devastating drama, palpable tension and difficult choices that make a much more significant impact this time around. Probably one of the greatest zombie tales across any medium.

    This was a great sequel to season 1 (highly recommend you play season 1 before jumping into this).

    Great to see this has been improved, the user interface looks smoother, graphics are much better than season 1, and the story was great. I was worried that they wouldn't have enough stories for a sequel to keep me interested, but i loved this season.

    Cant wait for season 3.

    Season 2 is an excellent follow up to TWD S1. There has been a number of improvements, the HUD design has been updated coupled with improved graphics (deep, rich colours) and a strong interesting story. 9/10

The reveals were on point, The game was heavily emotion and beautiful. The scenery was AMAZING, definitely better than the last games scenery.

    In my opinion just as good as the first season. As before it's a story, it's like a tv series or a comic, and the gameplay is just there to keep you focussed on the story. The gameplay is also there to make choices. Choices not to change the story, but mainly to change the way you view the story and how the interaction with other characters feels.

Choices not to change the story, but mainly to change the way you view the story and how the interaction with other characters feels.
    For example, there's a girl in this game that is somewhat helpless. You can either be understanding and try to comfort her or you can be cold towards her. I did both in two playthroughs. In the first I had the feeling I was helpful, I got the feeling of beeing a mentor so someone. In my second playthrough the I was cold against the girl, which in turn made me think of her as a nuassance more and more. This is how it is in real life too, the way you react to a certain situation doesn't usually change the essence of the situation, it does change the way you, and other feel about it though.
    Also, the characters in season 2 are just as good. No you won't feel the same love and trust... but that's not a bad thing. I cared more about surviving then I did about the other characters. I looked at the other people suspiciously, I didn't fully trust any of them. This makes a completely different feeling from the first season. But just as good. Maybe even better because following up a strong story like that wasn't easy!

    I don't understand the advantage of episodic gaming though, so I always buy telltale games when all episodes are out.    … Expand

    I didn't expect the second season to be anywhere near as good as the first, and guess what, it exceeded my expectations! The game's characters really are just as good, interesting and the story is very intriguing. The implementation of choice to affect your entire playthrough is very rewarding.

    While it may not quite reach the high bar that season 1 set for it, season 2 of the Walking Dead is still a very enjoyable game that should be played if you liked season 1 of the franchise. As it develops the characters from season 1 and adds new and interesting characters to the mix. This game allows for an interesting story with interesting characters in an interesting world.

Season 2 picks up after the first and follows Clementine, the young girl Lee protected in season 1. Playing as Clem gives you a different perspective on the world and makes you do things you never would before. Just like all Telltale games your decisions shape the story/world, Not as much as I would like but still enough to get me to play it a second time. A lot of the choices your forced to make in the story will make you weight your relationship with the characters and sometimes do things you regret. This game is also set in the same world as the TV so you will see some of the same characters and themes.

    Excellent sequel. Great, moving story, for me better than one from tv series. I dont care, if my decisions doesnt make much difference, I intended to play this once anyway. Besides Clem is a girl not a god, to me its more realistic if my decisions arent as impactfull as some of You would like to be. Its not perfect but we rarely have so good story in a game.

    This season was not as perfect as the first season. It completely nailed the characters in a very good way and the gameplay felt more interactive.

I might be a minority but I feel that the second season is better than the first one. For once the graphics still hold their own in 2016. The story for me is also deeper with the characters feeling more alive and important.

It is interesting to explore new locations, to learn something new about the laura of the universe. Basically, the second season is not too bad, but it does not reach the first. The ending is strange, stupidly for the sake of approaching the third season and nothing more. Do not expect such emotions as with the first season, although there is a moment where Clem can go alone with the baby against the herd of Walkers, this is epic.

    Valkin Grandfather continues to amaze with his story, characters, music, interaction with the environment and of course the very interaction between the characters. Clementine is an example. There are stupid situations where characters see themselves as idiots (besides Clementine, again, she is perfect) especially Carlos’s daughter - Sarah, I damn kill her at the first opportunity, when I had to choose: either save Jane or quit both of them. Sarah infuriated me, at first I treated her for good, she didn’t cut this chip, so I started treating her like **** for hell, we have the apocalypse here, people are dying, Satan is a horror, and she is aching. It is aching and aching and aching and aching. Infuriates. But I digress, continue. The developers are known for their elaboration of characters in games and it is amazing (Wolf Among Us, went out of my head), I repeat I have never seen such lively personalities anywhere else.

    Again, the guys from TellTale created this wonderful brainchild, they also created a new Batman, soon the second season ends, they also created the Wolf Among Us, Tales in Bordelands and so on and all The Walking Dead. Many thanks to them for this, so you need to try hard to think over and cunningly twist the plot, and yes they succeeded, they could, they did not hit the dirt in the face. Now I am going through the third season, the first episode has finished, and yes, this is the weakest and most predictable beginning. Only the appearance of Clementine somehow saved, she changed and very much. She became a strong, strong and unbending girl, she was well done. Yes, the first season is by far the best (for me at least).    … Expand
