    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.

    Very, very strong start to the season. The first two episodes have been among the best yet. I really hope they'll manage to finish the season despite all the trouble of the last few weeks.

    The ending feels a little rushed, but this game is absolutely amazing. It's a great close to the series, and nearly everything about it is near perfection. 98/100

    To be honest, it is the second game after which I cried. The first one was The walking dead season 1. I was so upset, when I found out that it is the last game about Clementina. Thank you, telltale games for this amazing story

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although the Final Season isn't as good as the first season, it still manages to be one of the most emotionally impactful games to date. The Final Season will have you shocked, smiling, and your heart racing in action sequences because you don't want Clem to die. Whenever someone puts their hands on AJ, I would say, "Don't you **** touch him!" I've never said that in any other game except season one of The Walking Dead.

    EPISODE 1: DONE RUNNING

    Done Running is an amazing start, probably the best start to a new season of The Walking Dead. It puts you right into the action and gives you an insight of what to expect throughout the season. Your heart is racing throughout the opening scene, and you're hammering that Q button to no end. Done Running manages to get you connected to the characters in such a short amount of time, too, especially Violet and Louis. The player might not like Violet when he/she first meets her, but he/she will love her by the end, based on your choices. Louis is kind of like the comedic relief throughout this episode, he always has something funny to say, which just makes the player immediately like him, well, it did to me at least. AJ, being born into the apocalypse, is shaped by your decisions, which is something that Telltale has never done before, making your decisions actually matter in the end. By the end of the episode, you're left with either your hand covering your mouth, wide-eyed or your mouth is just hanging open, wide-eyed. Done Running is an amazing start to the season and the best starting episode Telltale has done.

    EPISODE 2: SUFFER THE CHILDREN

    Suffer the Children is an amazing episode, but the weakest in the series, in my opinion. I'm not saying this episode is bad, this episode is amazing. Suffer the Children takes away most of the action (until the end) and instead gives you emotional conversations with the characters, such as James, Louis, Violet, and even AJ. The player gets to connect with the characters even more, even choosing either to romance Louis or Violet. James is introduced in this episode, too. James, in my opinion, is one of the best characters throughout the whole series, he's mysterious, and even though he might seem weird, he's a great character once you talk to him more throughout the season. He's not one-dimensional like a lot of Telltale characters in the past, and he's not just some liability, and he's not annoying. AJ, in this episode, steals the show, being the best character outside of Clem. AJ is left regretting his actions, based on your decisions, on killing Marlon. Clem and AJ have very deep conversations throughout the episode, making you nervous for his well-being at one point. AJ is amazing in this episode. Louis finally shows his other side in this episode, making him not one-dimensional either. After AJ shot Marlon, he kind of turns into an **** but throughout the episode, you see him regret what he's saying to you and turns around in the end. The ending... oh man, that was heart-racing. Suffer the Children is mainly a character-development episode and it is truly something amazing, but, in my opinion, the first episode was better.

    EPISODE 3: BROKEN TOYS

    I am speechless about this episode. This episode is perfect. This episode has the perfect boundary between character development and non-stop, heart-racing action sequences. Broken Toys might be the best episode Telltale has done, and allow me to tell you why. The characters (Louis, Violet, Minerva, and even Lilly) once again, show their other sides for a brief amount of time, AJ is something the player is worried about, especially after the end, James is now a badass, it's just awesome. This episode is non-stop heart-racing, probably because it's the penultimate episode for Clem's journey and the player is worried that she's going to get bit as Lee did in his penultimate episode. By the end, the player is going to worried and scared of what's to come next, it's amazing.

    I wish I had more things to say about Broken Toys, it was just so amazing that it left me speechless. Anyway, I forgot to mention that Telltale has a completely new free-camera and combat system, which is a much better improvement than the hovering camera and quick-time-event-combat-system.

    I'm gonna give this game a 9/10 right now, but it might change based on how I feel about the final episode which is coming out in just two days. Let's hope Clem doesn't die!

    This is the best game I've played lately. I experienced so many emotions during the passage of this game. I advise everyone. I was worried about the main characters. The graphics were excellent, the story was even better. In general, 10 out of 10, nothing to say

    Amazing conclusion to one of the best stories ever told, Clementines! Very happy that they managed to finish this, even after Telltale's collapse. If you are at all invested in Clementine's story or just want to play a game with a great story, this is a must have.

    I haven't finished a game having been left feeling so resoundingly affected in a very long time.

    This game imo and in most people on The Walking Dead subreddit just as good as Season 1 and maybe even better, the only bad things is that there was only 4 episodes but apart from that this is my 2018 GOTY(even though I loved Red Dead, also I wasn't feeling God Of War)

    In the first season, 8 year old Clementine was the one you needed to take care of and teach how to survive. Set 7 years later in this 4th and final season, now she’s the one taking care of someone and teaching them. I highly recommend playing the previous seasons first, it will make your enjoyment of this one even more meaningful.

This season (just like the entire series is notable for), will steal your heart if you allow yourself to be immersed in it. If you want a mindless zombie killing game, look elsewhere. This is an episodic, dialogue-driven, narrative game that rivals The Last of Us, and in some ways exceeds it. The voice acting, soundtrack, core characters, story, and morally complex decisions make this a riveting experience that you’ll want to replay to see where other choices lead you.… Expand

    A conclusion to my favorite story in a game ever. We watched Clementine evolve into the capable survivor we see her as in this season. The stakes were raised, satisfying villain death scenes, and plenty that brought me to tears. The only bad thing I found was seeing the end text appear on screen. Farewell, Clem.

    This was a good way of ending the series, i have been a fan since season 1 and i bought the season 1 on my mobile. Played all seasons in my laptop and i just recently finished it. It was a roller coaster ride that will leave your emotions up and down at any moment. Episodes 4 was the BEST episode all the entire franchise. The developer did a great job! sad to see the series end.

    Definitely wonderful. It reminds me a lot of the first and second game.
    Clem must now care for and raise AJ like Lee did with her. The game makes you feel responsible for everything AJ says and does. Also, as it is the last game this one has more decisions and freedoms, which makes you always nervous and with your heart in your hand. Goodbye, SweetPea. Goodbye, Goofball :')

    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.

    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.
