    The same old quirks remain, but you should know by now whether the engine issues or lack of player agency will affect your enjoyment. If you're comfortable with the usual shortcomings, then this is a strong start to what promises to be another compelling season.

    cons:
    - Clem is hardly even shown
    - Pretty much every decision from season 1 and 2 is pointless since everyone dies anyway. Why actually give us the option to save Kenny if he's just going to be killed off right away anyway?    … Full Review »
