"When Telltale Games released the first season of its episodic The Walking Dead series – many were taken aback by just how much it altered the adventure game formula. The narrative focus that eschewed intricate puzzles and backtracking and combing over every room looking for items and clues felt like a breath of fresh air."
In this episode of Patched, the boys talk about game endings and if they really are important to the entire experience.
There it is, finally! A complete review of all episodes of the final Walking Dead season. Oh god, I just loved that series.

"The first season of The Walking Dead was my Game of the Year when it came out, and I was hardly alone. It’s one of the few games which has made me cry, and the storytelling really moved games in general forwards. It’s hard not to think about the way it changed the industry. But with the studio sadly shutting down mid-way through development, have the team at Skybound games been able to recover the magic? "
This is a really good review. Honestly one of the best episodes I've played since season 1. Really hoping for a strong closing episode to finish the series.
Telltale's The Walking Dead: The Final Season provides the same exhilarating feelings of anxiety as you attempt to make the best decision under pressure. Following the same formula as past seasons Clementine must attempt to connect with a new group of survivors while raising a child. The choices are still impactful and the narrative full of great characters but the need to solve basic puzzles and the poor shooting system slows down much of the momentum. The Walking Dead: The Final Season provides a lot of the same tension-filled decisions and situations this series has been known for while concluding Clementine's story with a bang.
