The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 1 - All That Remains Reviews
While it's not the strongest Walking Dead chapter we've seen—the episode's final choice, in particular, is somewhat baffling—it's prudent to withhold final judgment until the rest of the game is in.
So basically it's business as normal, and we couldn't be more pleased that Walking Dead season two is shaping up to be another hit. Fans of mature adventures should lap it up, and we can't wait to continue Clementine's journey in episode two.
Season Two returns with a bang, The new focus on the world according to Clementine is a masterstroke. Bring on the next episode.
'All That Remains' is either the start to a great second season or the beginning of the end for a once great series. I simply don't know, and I won't know until getting into the rest of the season. The potential and the set-up is there, which is the baseline for a jumping off point. It could just be so-so, but then that would be a disappointment.
In a way, the game, too, is a shell of what it once was. Season one was a slow build and a horrible pull. There was a lot of humanity to it, focusing on its characters above anything else. The sequel has a lot of that pull, but none of that subtlety or ease. So far, it's just a list of tragic events. This is, of course, just the first episode. As we've learned from the first game, it only gets worse from here. Maybe it'll also get better.
The first episode of The Walking Dead Season 2 shows that this Season will keep up the quality of Season 1, at the end of the episode there will be a preview for Episode 2 and there is a massive cliffhanger that will cause much discussion by fans of the series. To sum it up, solid episode and I can't wait for Episode 2.
The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1: All That Remains is a great return of the popular series. Clementine is a good protagonist and players are certainly going to root for her after the events from this first chapter. There are still some problems in terms of gameplay or visuals, but the narrative experience is second to none.
Overall, the game is a solid example of the genre, and fans of the series certainly won't be disappointed.
The Walking Dead Season 2 rectifies this situation. Not only the loading times and random stutters are reduced, the touch and physical controls now seamlessly switch places on the fly. There is no need to manually select them. If you want to use touch, just touch the screen, similarly, if you want to use the physical controls, just press any button. It is really a neat feature and TellTale Games have done a great job integrating it for the PS Vita in Season 2. This definitely makes the PS Vita version of The Walking Dead Season 2, the definitive version of the game.
It's been an agonising wait for the first episode from season two of Telltales The Walking Dead. With one hell of a tough act to fellow, will 'All That Remains' be worth the wait?
As great as the characters are, as absorbing as the choices and moral directions continue to be, the series is in danger of becoming formulaic.
