What a letdown. Javi as a character is likeable but I found most of the side characters just blank and forgettable with Clementine (naturally) as the main standout.

Decisions in telltale games usually don’t have as much weight as they should but this season really dropped the ball.

Most decisions are micro with one of the seemingly “big ones” barely having ramifications before the character (Ava in my case) involved is removed from the story entirely.

I do have to give props to the complexity of the Gabe choice, sadly my Gabe died and I’m satisfied in knowing it actually was my choices that led to it.

On the subject of Gabe, he represented my frustration with the writing of the side characters, their intentions seem to constantly flip flop. For example Gabe kept swapping between being scared of David or wanting to be by his side.

The story I do like overall, it’s nice to seemingly have a closed book while giving Clementine some more growth.

Finally the art style in this season is so frustrating, I miss the more cartoony look (since this is based on a comic series). And it’s weird that even though there’s more detail added to characters, they seemingly have less expression?

Overall this isn’t a “bad” game, I think I like it more than not. But it’s disappointing when compared to what came before.
