Coming off of a slow, filler fourth episode with Amid The Ruins, Telltale Games was looking to close out the second season of its episodic The Walking Dead adventure with Episode 5: No Going Back.

"The two adaptations of The Walking Dead produced by Telltale have been nothing short of amazing. Some of the best storytelling I’ve ever experienced in a video game has come from these titles. That’s why it makes the finale of Season 2 so bittersweet… it means I’ll have to wait another year (at least) to see what happens in Season 3.
Last season, this wasn’t much of a problem: I purchased the full season when it was on sale, but it stayed in my backlog until Season 2 was announced. Then, I blazed through the first set of episodes in a five-day emotional rollercoaster. Once it was completed, I only had to wait a few months for the next chapter in Clementine’s struggle for survival.
But for now, I must wait. And it will be excruciating. Because chapter five of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead Season 2, No Going Back, marks the conclusion of one of the greatest games I’ve ever played."
We take a look at Telltale's season two of The Walking Dead
Clementine is a character many gamers have come to know and love. But there's more to her than innocence and likeability that keeps us interested.
I don't think I'm heartless but did anyone really care for the characters that died in S2? Most deaths in S1 felt more powerful. Still a great season nonetheless.
I liked it for what it was. But I couldn't help notice the lack of actual scenario movements. It was pretty forward just moving Clem from A to B..
most of the other episodes seemed to have another little puzzle element or a trigger. It felt like I breezed through Episode 5..
as for the deaths.. it was eh... I saw it coming I suppose. It didn't really do anything for me. Maybe a few slight emotions but not much.
The finale WASNT that great, kinda of a let down compared to the ending of the first season..
I wont lie though, I did get nostalgia at the season 1 flashback near the end...
Say what you want, I'm on pins and needles to see how season 3 starts off, and if Clementine is still the focal point of the series.
