It's not just about making hard choices, but watching humanity come loose. With beautiful imagery and heart wrenching conflicts, Telltale has knocked the ball out of the park. They have reminded us that apocalypse isn't about the physical breakdown of society, but witnessing the delicate threads which hold human beings together come apart. The people, including Clementine have nothing left to hide behind, as they try to survive by any means possible, however dear the cost. In a sense, they have turned into zombies, mindless and selfish, without the actual death and disease. The plague which riddles their hearts is what makes them the real zombies, The Walking Dead.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I stuck with Kenny to the bitter end, and wasn't disappointed. I looked away while he shanked Jane. Mind blowing ending, with Kenny making an endgame choice that proved he wasn't as nuts as people thought. Unpredictable, yet believable characters. Best episode yet.… Expand

   Hard choices and a great ending to Season Two. It does what all good stories should do: leave the reader wanting more. The ending of SeasonHard choices and a great ending to Season Two. It does what all good stories should do: leave the reader wanting more. The ending of Season One packed more emotional punch, but the narrative of this ending is better. How the series goes forward Season Three will have every fan on their edge of their seat.… Expand

   In all honesty, this final episode is amazing and I'm giving it a 9, but only just.
   
   This has nothing to do with the episode content - handsIn all honesty, this final episode is amazing and I'm giving it a 9, but only just.
   
   This has nothing to do with the episode content - hands down this is the most brutal, engaging and interesting episode telltale have ever produced (perhaps on par with the finale of the Wolf Among Us). The reason this doesn't get a 10 however is for 2 reasons:
   
   - Due to the 7/10 support cast, the emotional edge is blunted at times when it could potentially be 'feels-rollercoaster'.
   
   - 2 of the 5 possible endings are absolutely awful.
   
   At the same time, 1 of the possible endings is absolutely depression inducing, you'll be crying into your cereal for weeks (hint: Believe in kenny till the very end). This doesn't excuse the other 3 however, which just feel so lacklustre, almost like gaining a bronze medal at the end of a game. It feels incomplete, and whether this is telltale's way of saying 'go back and do it again the right way' I'm not sure (obviously isn't).
   
   It's a shame really, as the storyline throughout this season has been absolutely stunning, and followed a completely different arc to that of the first season giving the two games distinct feels. It's just the supporting cast are made to feel expendable, not necessary tools for your survival. As such, their eventual demises can almost be cast aside after the intial 'Christ Jim, he's dead' moment. As the game explores Clementine's development into a 'hardened' individual, this makes perfect sense however it just detracts from the overall feel of the game.
   
   Apart from that, stunning. Just isn't a 10.… Expand
