    Telltale’s The Walking Dead has a great conclusion, and I’m happy the team responsible for it was able to see this through to the end. It’s a shame that their original parent company marred the overall experience significantly, but their ability to bounce back under another publisher and deliver to this degree is exceptional. I’m both sad and happy that this is the conclusion of Clementine’s tale, but the character arc is so well delivered, you won’t be disappointed.

    Despite some flaws on the second and third episodes, The Walking Dead : The Finale Season is the ending season all fan could wish for, with many great narrative choices and a message of hope very welcomed in such a game.

    With the Final Season we got the end of Clem's story that we deserved. The narrative is reaching it's peak and leaves the players with a lot of emotions, after so many years. Skybound does a good job finishing Telltale's work and allows us to say the last goodbye to Clementine and AJ.

    The concluding chapters of Clementine’s journey remains as emotional and stressful as ever, but rarely feels purposeful enough to be a worthwhile finale for longtime fans. The key improvements to the gameplay and presentation sets them at an all-time high for the series, and the path AJ takes as a result of Clementine’s choices is truly impactful, but they are hindered by a lackluster cast and a meandering story that pales in comparison to previous seasons. While the real-life series of events that needed to occur for Clementine’s story to see its finale are certainly worth appreciating, it is unfortunate to see such a lengthy adventure end on such an uninspired note.

    It is when the gameplay and story are working together rather than competing for interest that the final season shines. In particular, the last episode marries the two components in a satisfying penultimate section of the episode in which the player alternates between the two central characters, AJ and Clementine, in a way that feels true to each character.

    The Walking Dead’s and Telltale’s goodbye succeeds by closely examining the mother/son dynamic between Clementine and A.J.

    Seeing Clementine’s story end is bittersweet. For anyone who has cared about her fate, it’s worth seeing if she can survive the terrible odds or if she’s doomed to travel the same path as Lee, but just know that you are likely to come away with mixed feelings.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I am happy this series finally ends. Also very glad that we are not playing some random family. Telltale stuck their style unfortunately. Yes It is unique and beautiful. But they pushed it so hard.
    Anyways, I liked they put new revisions like free camera, more fighting(not diverse moves though.), love interests... etc.
    Story is good, as always(even new frontier.) the new place gives me "lord of the flies" vibes. I liked characters, i mean well written and not one dimensional. Although, it was so predictable to Violet being our lesbian love interest option. I don't know maybe my gay-dar just worked. When she was saying thing like "I hate baseball", I said instantly, "Girl, i bet you like softball."
    I was flirting with other love interest Louis aka Jaden Smith, I liked his optimist and a bit jerk character.
    And finally let's talk about AJ...First of all he was also well written. When in the first season Clem was optimistic, child spirited and emotional. But AJ just born in this apocalyptic world. Raised by a teen, he doesn't know what is ethical or unethical at all. But, the ending was quite shock.
    So this game is worth to play. For the story of Clementine, what will happen to her in the end, i just want to see it. For that reason every fan of TWD: Game series, should play it. Not even hesitate.(AJ please don't get this "hesitate" thing wrong and don't shoot me ok.)    … Full Review »

U allways have choice with no choice. Does NOT matter what u select help someone or let him die. If developers decided that this character shoud die, u literally cant save him, even if you want it and doing everything you can. I cant belive that there are so many brainless fans of this game. TThey literally eat all the **** the developers give them.… Full Review »
