"Does Kenny seem the same to you, as he was before? It's just, I didn't know him before this all happened."
Man, I think we know where this is going. If you want to get the game, you can get it on Steam.I posted this in another thread but I'm going to put it here too There is a brief glimmer of hope during the episode too though so it's a bit of an emotional rollercoaster ride. Your survivors will start dropping off like flies and you'll have to make some difficult decisions in this episode, potentially making you unpopular or even condemning someone to death. Score – 8/10 Amid the Ruins is the most depressing Season 2 episode I've played yet. The game also has the annoying Type 1 save system where progress is autosaved but you never know when the next save point is. Unfortunately, as it's a Telltale game, it uses the most recent Telltale Tool so the interface is a very console-friendly one, not a simple point ‘n' click adventure. This episode is short just like Episode 3 but somehow it didn't feel as short, so I'm not going to penalise it for its short duration. proceed to a certain point in the story) and there's not enough variety to encourage multiple playthroughs. Also like Season One, achievements are still very easy to acquire (i.e. Just like Season One, the ending you receive depends on the choices you make in the game, so there is some attraction there to replay the episode (and indeed, the whole game once it is released).

You'll occasionally have some Quick Time Events (QTEs) during action sequences but that's about it. The game is mainly conversation driven and focuses more on your relationships with characters more than anything else. Gameplay is pretty light, with simple puzzles and the game feels more like a visual novel.

Tensions definitely run high in this episode as the size of the party dwindles dramatically.Īs mentioned, this is probably one of the most depressing episodes I've played in Season 2 yet it happens to contain one of the happiest moments too (and that's pretty rare to come across in a series like The Walking Dead). Those who manage to survive meet at a rendezvous point which is an old Civil War museum. This episode follows straight after episode three, In Harm's Way where Clementine and her group are escaping the hardware store through a zombie horde. If this review seems to look similar to the previous reviews that's because it is - but what would you expect considering only really the plot would change between episodes?
