Writer Scott Gimple and showrunner Angela Kang settled on The sheer number of people the show has killed, there was no shortage of priorĬharacters to summon.

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. As such, their eventual demises can almost be cast aside after the intial 'Christ Jim, he's dead' moment. It's just the supporting cast are made to feel expendable, not necessary tools for your survival. 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 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). 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.

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). This has nothing to do with the episode content - hands In all honesty, this final episode is amazing and I'm giving it a 9, but only just. In all honesty, this final episode is amazing and I'm giving it a 9, but only just.
