The Walking Dead: Season Two (2013)

I really enjoyed the second game in The Walking Dead series from Telltale. It tells yet another great story, lets you bond with the characters and is overall a work of art. I still think the first game was better in terms of story, but that did not change the fact that I enjoyed this one immensely.

The Walking Dead: Season Two is the direct sequel to the first The Walking Dead game. It picks up where the first game ended and continues with Clementine as the main protagonist.

The story is a piece of perfection and, just like the first The Walking Dead review, I will not spoil anything. This is something that you need to experience for yourself.

One of the best aspects of this game is that it can import your choices and outcomes from the first game, including the 400 Days DLC. People react to you based on the choices you made from the original The Walking Dead. So epic.
Graphicly, The Walking Dead: Season Two received a nice upgrade. Besides the improved cell shading and animations, the game is a lot darker, something that enhanced the experience really well. The sky is dusk yellow most of the time, giving you the feeling of an apocalypse wasteland.

The sound design is just as good as the first game, especially the voice acting of all the characters. It is the sound where Telltale games shines the most. This shows with the soundtrack, which is excellent. It even got nominated for several rewards. You know that you are doing it right when you achieve that level.

The Walking Dead: Season Two plays in the same style as the original game in which you use point and click mechanics, quick time events and choice making to work to the ultimate ending of the game. Every choice has consequences, and, at times, real moral dilemmas are present in which both options are technically wrong or unfair, but you have to make a choice.

You need to react fast at times and are not always giving the opportunity to think things through. This aspect of quick reaction is realistic and if you make a mistake in game by providing a wrong answer or an answer that people are not happy about, it is just like real life, in which you do not have the perfect response or solution available right away.

Originally, just like The Wolf Among Us, new episodes would come out every few months between each other. But, just like The Wolf Among Us, you can also buy the retail version, including all the episodes.

The episodes themselves are great, every one of them and the overall length of the game and the episodes themselves is fair. You got a solid seventeen hours of story ahead of you when playing the game, which is very acceptable for just a story based, on rail point and click game.

Like I said, I would prefer the first game over this one, but this is my personal taste. I think this is mainly because of my attachment to Lee from the first game.

Overall, I loved The Walking Dead: Season Two and, once again, Telltale Games earned my deepest respect for creating this beautiful game.

Absolutely recommend it.
