It's about on par with season 2, with a lot of the same issues and highlights.

The presentation here is pretty damn solid. And the opening is honestly very well done. It's a great way to kick off the season and get you invested. And the action in general is pretty good this time around. Lots of creative moments that keep you engaged.

One thing to note here is that your choices really do matter. Especially in the last episode, there are so many endings and ways the story can go which is welcome.

Sadly this is not in service to a good story. Almost every character is totally unlikeable. And if they aren't to start, they become that way later on. Once again, everyone is also an idiot. It makes it nearly impossible to care about anyone or what's going on.

Putting Clem into this story was a major mistake. She influenced every choice you made just by proxy and knowing who she is. So choices you'd normally make, you don't because she's standing there. In a more realistic setting, I don't see any reason why you'd ever pick any option in support of her. This could have worked if it was more focused on this family, maybe make them more likeable. But we have to spend have the story on Clem, who is far more interesting and who we care about more. So she undermines the main cast of this game.

I think this really could have been great, but it missed the mark big time.
