    This game is a great example of how pure story telling and deep decision making can make a extremely enjoyable game. It's a nice break from Run and Gun shooters and hack n slash games that have came out in the past weeks. 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 andThis game is a great example of how pure story telling and deep decision making can make a extremely enjoyable game. It's a nice break from Run and Gun shooters and hack n slash games that have came out in the past weeks. 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.
    If you have read the books,Watched the TV show or played season 1
    you need owe it to yourself to play this phenomenal series.    … Expand

    Not quite superb like first game but still great game, story. The ending with Kenny is (better than ending with Lee from first game) going to kill your emotions. Negative: technical problems while loading scenes.

    This 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 a great game.

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

Aún siendo un novato en este tipo de juegos puedo ver lo bueno que es este juego, me ha encantado y me parece una excelente primera experiencia en novelas gráficas.

    Lo primero es que la calidad de la historia es increíble, el guión es coherente y está increíblemente bien escrito. La sensación de que cada interacción verbal que tienes con otros personajes influyen en el desarrollo de la historia, aunque esta tenga ciertas lineas que deben ocurrir es algo que te hace meterte de lleno en el mundo que presenta el juego y te involucras de gran manera con lo que ocurre con estos personajes.

    Algo que quiero destacar es que pese a ser una continuación directa de la primera temporada de The Walking Dead, no es necesario jugarla para disfrutar de esta entrega: Los guionistas tienen la destreza suficiente para ponerte en situación de manera rápida mediante diálogos con otros personajes y la interacción con el ambiente. Los personajes, el mundo, el guion, la ambientación, la dirección artística, son todos aspectos pulidos hasta el extremo.

    Entendiendo que las aventuras point and click no son jugablemente diversas, me pareció que faltó variedad en el gameplay, no hay acertijos o otro tipo de situaciones mas allá de la mecánica básica: apuntar y clickear. Por otro lado la optimizan del juego es irregular, hay capítulos como el tercero y cuarto que quedan con imágenes congeladas mientras se carga, las que a veces son demasiado largas. El juego es poco exigente en términos técnicos, como para que una consola de actual generación tenga estos problemas.

    No hay que engañarse, pese a estos detalles, la narrativa es lo principal de éste juego, y ese aspecto es sencillamente sublime . Aunque tenga algunos detalles que merman en la experiencia, me parece un excelente juego.    … Expand

    The second installment of this franchise is virtually as good as the original game. Just a great story-driven experience all round! If you've played the first you should definitely give the second a try.

    Alguns não falam que não é tão bom como a primeira, mas pra mim bate de frente. A Clementine ainda é interessante, mas alguns personagens a tratam como adulta, isso é estranho. 90% dos novos personagens são carismáticos. A gameplay é melhor que a primeira, tornando o jogo mais fluido e mais imersivo. O final chega a ser melhor que o primeiro.

    Not as good as the first game but comes quite close. If you have played the first game and liked it you will probably be eager to continue the story and find out more. If you didn't like the first game, you are not going to like this one either.

    Great sequel to the original masterpiece. I did have a few issues such as the game freezing for a few
    seconds every time a transition happens and it didn't feel like you had as much control as you did in the first game. But the game makes up for it with its great characters (especially Clementine) and world-building.

    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 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    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 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).    … Expand

    EN:
    Better than TV show. The story is solid, as is the art style game. Trophies and achievements are easy to win.

    SRB:
    Bolje od serije. Priča je solidna, kao i art style igre. Lako se osvajaju trofeji i achievements-i.

    Another masterpiece form telltale, With memorable characters, unexpected events and a great story like season 1, but for the best experience, it is suggested to finish the first season first.

    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.
