"Its difficult to review consecutive episodes in a gaming series like this where the hands of change never embrace anything else other than the progression of the narrative.
Indeed, as problematic as it might be that we’re effectively grading these episodes more as stories rather than games, it seems a tad churlish to be too distraught at that thought given that the emotional yarns crafted therein are done so with the sort of competence you would expect from such ably, practiced hands as those belonging to developer Telltale Games."

GameZone: "On this edition of GameZone's 31 Games of Halloween, we're headed back to the land of the undead, but this time around, things are very different."
SPOILER WARNING. This series contains Telltale’s The Walking Dead spoilers that span across the entire first season. Watch at your own peril!
This episode, Justis and McBosspants try their best to fight against the growing linearity of the series. Surprisingly, their poor-decision-making Lee is starting to merge with their own good-guy-Lee playthrough as they fight against the boredom of point-and-click adventures, the lack of choices in the later parts of the game, and the exhaustion of recording two episodes in a row.
Interesting score. Personally, this is contender for GOTY for me.
It will all depend on how the last episode plays out.
I completely agree.
Regardless of whatever I think about the gameplay systems contained therein, the stories that I've been created and moulded over these last few months in this game have been a phenomenal experience nonetheless.
I'm very much stoked to see how the final episode functions from a storytelling perspective too; whether it'll neatly wrap up the season in isolation or, will somehow lead into the second season that they've (TT) said they're planning for.
That cliffhanger
