From playing the first season and seeing Clementine as a young child to the final season as a young adult has been a tragic yet beautiful story. A solid ending for a overall fantastic series. This series has better story telling compared to most TV shows and movies nowadays. Thank you Telltales for this incredible series.

Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season delivers a powerful and heartfelt conclusion to Clementine’s story, giving her journey the closure it deserves. The season marks a clear leap in quality, with improved visuals, tighter gameplay, and some of the strongest writing in the series. Its emotional depth and well-crafted relationships make every choice feel meaningful. Overall, it’s a fitting and memorable …

I'm glad that this was a satisfying end to Clementine's story despite the development hell that happened while making the game. I'm not sad that it ended. I'm glad that it happened.

It's been over a year since I last played the first season. It's sad to admit, but the moment has finally arrived when I've reached the end of the story. The season is simply magnificent! It became even better, even more atmospheric and beautiful. I felt like I was playing The Walking Dead 2, as it was so different in quality from previous seasons. The animations, the facial expressions, music, visual design, …

AMAZING. my fav one so far! easily has the best side characters and location. its also by far the most interactive and has the most actual gameplay. tho nothing will beat the story of s1 i think. maybe ill rank all the games when ive replayed them in the remastered version and im also curious if the michonne game is any close to the "clementine games" quality wise. anyways i def recommend the whole franchise, the …

A lot of improvements have been made, mainly in the gameplay, story, and music departments. The art style looks slightly better than in A New Frontier, but this is probably the last thing that needed enhancement. As mentioned, 'gameplay' is also better, you can actually move around this time! And you can even run! Truly…

neutral · AI labelView post →if a game evokes any emotion, it's great game. This season made me angry, thoughtful, and even crying, but that's just the tip of the iceberg of the spectrum of emotions these episodes give you. In my opinion, one of the most important, inevitable themes in an apocalypse is the path of "violence" and "mercy," and both the series and the game "The Walking Dead" explore this. In the final season, AJ grows up as the next generation in a brutalized world, and playing as Clementine, we teach him…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The best game among the 4. Best main character. Clementine is fire, she is both mentally and physically strong, and she use that strenght to protect other and be example, not like many. Story is good. Characters dynamics is increadable. Idk why, but this season characters dynamics is more enjoyable than other. Mostly cause they stop killing each likable character, how the did in previews seasons. Main villian isn't the best, but not worst. Liily try to look tuff, but in the end she show that…

I enjoyed my time with this game and it's amazing that it even came out due to the studios financial troubles. Clementine is one of my favorite characters in gaming and I'm holding out hope for a continuation of the series as well as The Wolf Among Us 2!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You're conclusion isn't wrong but you're giving it credit for the wrong things. All of those elements were present in games that came long before, TLOU was just a lot more marketable. The story-first approach made you feel in control of a zombie movie during peak zombie mania. You just binged The Walking Dead, what if you could *play* an episode... In that sense, you're right that its success opened up a whole new market that we all benefit from. I knew so many people whose game libraries…

Naturally, because of these long gaps between games, my memory regarding the previous games has become hazy.

I believe my reviews for the second and third games still hold up, however the first game absolutely not. My biggest problem with that review, and all…

At least Clementine didn't die in the end, which to be fair, I don't know care how she survived, I'm just glad she did, and the most of the kids in the school of course. Hopefully we'll see a new game from Skybound Games, since Telltale went bankrupt while making this game, even so you can see it from Episode 3 and onwards (the game has 4 episodes). Though that doesn't matter, I hope someday (which probably won't happen) we see AJ and…

This is an absolute masterpiece that completely redefines what interactive storytelling can be, and after finishing the entire series, I can confidently say it is the best decision-making game ever made.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series is honestly one of the most emotional game journeys I’ve ever experienced. Watching Clementine grow from a scared kid into a strong survivor feels incredibly real. Every season hits differently, but the Final Season completely destroyed me in the best way possible. The bond between Clem and AJ is the heart of the story, and the choices you make for him feel heavy and meaningful. The ending had me thinking everything was lost… and then it broke me again…
