The Walking Dead: A Telltale Games Series - Season Two

Mechanics

The basics of the gameplay remained unchanged. You explore various locations, talk to NPCs, gather items, and solve simple puzzles. From time to time you also participate in quick time events featuring arcade segments. The series retains the original atmosphere. The game focuses on interactions between characters and the cinematic presentation of the story, not on humans-vs-zombies combat or survival elements. An important factor is still the process of making decisions whose results affect the plot; the results of your decisions from episode one follow you into the later episodes. Often you have very little time to make the call, which builds up the tension and the importance of the choice.

Technical aspects

The visuals of The Walking Dead: Season Two remain the same. The character models and the surroundings are still rendered in a comic-book-like style. The game continues to use the studio's original engine, whose age and limits make themselves apparent many times, especially when it comes to animation or background details. However, the well-plotted story makes up for it.

The game consists of the following episodes: Episode 1: All That Remains, Episode 2: A House Divided, Episode 3: In Harm’s Way, Episode 4: Amid the Ruins, and Episode 5: No Going Back.
