    The Walking Dead: Season Two surprises us with an exceptional main character, which manages to offer us a fresh point of view on the story, while the new Xbox One version smooths out many of the technical flaws of the old-gen one. A fascinating experience for every fan of Kirkman's comic.

    This is a great game. It builds off of the first season and continues with good character development and solid story writing. However, itThis is a great game. It builds off of the first season and continues with good character development and solid story writing. However, it seems to fall a bit short of season 1. The choices you make seem to have much less of an impact this time around and as a result, some confusing moments can occur as you try to avoid one thing from happening but see it happen regardless of your efforts. This is pretty minor but I definitely noticed several "okay, so this was clearly going to happen no matter what" moments which take away from the immersion that season 1 did so well. The other thing that season 2 doesn't do quite as well as the previous edition are the characters. There are so many new faces and it makes the decisions you make (which are already less important because of the more singular storyline) less meaningful because you don't really care as much what might happen to this band of relative strangers. But really, I'm nitpicking here. This game is fantastic and it really only has any issues because of the fact that season 1 was just so good. I still thoroughly enjoyed this game and would highly recommend it. Expand

    Much like with the first season, this is more of an interactive book than a game, and as such, its gameplay is more of a mix of QTE minigamesMuch like with the first season, this is more of an interactive book than a game, and as such, its gameplay is more of a mix of QTE minigames and point-and-click adventure and dialogue, which will mean a lot of people will not like it just because of that.

    It is also subject to pretty much the same criticism as the first season - the choices and their impact are oversold as far as the story goes, they only really impact characters and their view of the main character. The story itself is very much linear, it will take you to the same locations and has the same end-point no matter what choices you make.

    This story, compared to the first season, is shorter, but it features more story relevant characters. Like the first season, it does a fairly good job at exploring relationships and human mind in stressful and life-or-death situations, although it does falter at times. I do not mind the fact that it is shorter, but the combination of that and a larger cast of "important" characters means some of them don't get quite enough screentime and some of the development in the relationships thus feels a bit forced at times. However, the pacing of the story is a bit better, and there is less of stupid or "out of character" moments in it, so overall it is comparable with the quality of the first season.

    Sound engineering is pretty average, just like season 1. There is not much to tell about it. It is not bad, but it's nothing special by any means.

    Graphics are slightly improved, the characters are still pretty low poly, but the texture quality is more consistent and overall also better. The world also got a bit more detail and the color palette is a bit less "washed-out". The animations are still a bit robotic at times, but facial expressions are much closer to resembling real humans rather than aliens on meth, which was the case with some scenes in Season 1.

    Unlike the first season, it has some optimization issues, though - especially on transitions between cutscenes / pure dialog scenes into interactive or "combat" QTE scenes, the game will outright freeze for a second or two or five, and there is some micro-stutter in some of the more detailed scenes with multiple characters. This has pretty profound impact on the enjoyment of the game, especially since it appears as if the game crashed sometimes, during the longer freezes.

    Conclusions: Much like Season 1 (I know I say it a lot), it is a good interactive book with compelling story and interesting characters, but it has immersion breaking technical issues and it is misleading in regards to the impact of player choice on the story, which is a large marketing point for this series (and pretty much all of the Telltale seasonal adventure games).
