Survive in the zombie apocalypse with Telltale's 2nd season of The Walking Dead
After a surprise hit on 2013, Telltale continue The Walking Dead series with the 2nd season. This time, you play as Clementine and once again, you must fight to survive from the walkers and humans. Can the 2nd season live up to the -argueably- game with the best story ever? or did it flunk just like the TV series?
The Story (9.5/10)
+ great gritty and dark tale of survival
+ grown up Clementine is simply so likeable and her character development is amazing
+ great script
- kinda tired with the always angry and bitter adult characters trope
- kinda tired with the crazy survivor group with even more crazy leader story
The Gameplay (8/10)
+ still the same simple point and click gameplay
+ fluid control
+ easy and simple plus (+) shape UI
+ your choises and dialogue will taylor the story
- just like the 1st season, your choices and decisions bring minimal changes to the core story, making one part of story progression feels forced and illogical
- not enough variety like the first season where there is puzzle solving gameplay
The Graphics (8/10)
+ the same awesome comic book art direction
- cluncky and stiff animation
The Sound (9/10)
+ each episode get different ending credit music which all of them great
+ great performances by the voice actors especially Melissa Hutchison as Clementine
+ great scores that will accompany you in every chilling, intense, and beautiful parts of the game
Verdict (8.7/10)
Well, it's not as near perfect as the 1st season but the 2nd season of Telltale's The Walking Dead is still a great continuation of the amazing 1st season. With it's gritty, dark, and often disturbing story, it's easy to be forgotten with its flaws.
