EU release played via Steam on a Lenovo Y50-70.
I remember enjoying the first Season a few years back at the height of my enjoyment of the comics - it was a fresh way to explore a pre-established IP through the lenses of different characters that you could still empathise with but didn't have the guarantee of surviving. I enjoyed the characters of Lee and Clementine and the ending of that game is still fairly memorable to me.
That being said, wow did this sequel miss the mark. It started off well with it's characters and representing a wide view with different situations they were put through. But by the end I just didn't care about anyone, even though I tried helping them and siding with people the main character just ended up getting dicked over by everybody, so much so that I ended up leaving the last characters to go out on my own in the end choice.
I get that The Walking Dead really likes to drive home the theme of "people are dicks and you can't trust them" a lot of the time, but when everyone who is left is just a piece of trash even when you've spent so much time trying to get them on your good side with the dialogue options, it just feels like a shitty way to reward the players' time.
Overall, play the first game. While the journey in this game was captivating pretty much the whole way, the ending was disappointing and there were gameplay elements such as the items you obtain that never get used that just don't make any sense.
