Possibly one of the most disapointing games I have ever played. Uninteresting characters, a story that is simply not engaging enough and a main character that is miles, miles away from Lee or Clamentine.

Gameplay-wise it's an incredible step down from Season 2 and even more from season 1. Almost no gameplay, no exploration, barely any character control, no puzzles and we only use the controler to choose the dialogue and for the QTE action scenes, here even more simplyfied.

Visual style is also worse, models are too shiny, "realistic" and away from the beatiful ink style of the past seasons.

Avoid. Play season 2 and skip to the Final Season which looks to be a major improvement from what we can see.

The first chapter is pretty solid. Clem works infinitely better in a supporting role.

..

But it's so forgettable. I barely remember a thing that happened in this season, the new characters are fairly bland and uninspired - it doesn't help they're never seen again after this season either.

This borders on filler, unfortunately.

"Now I am become" Telltale, destroyer of batteries. It lacks any real improvements from the previous iterations, and still suffers from performance and audio mixing, in addition to battery draining like a energy thirsty vampire. The gameplay remains overly simplistic for my taste. The writing shines, and only occasionally suffers from “catch all” responses and animations that don’t always match with your choice in words (e.g. I just made a choice that doomed a character from finding “her baby”, and seconds later she is smiling like a smitten teen).
