Critic Reviews for The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 5 - No Going Back
The Walking Dead Season 2 finale is an impressive and intelligent episode, and among @telltalegames' finest stories.
It remains a shame that Clementine never quite became the truly different kind of lead that the first episode promised, but in the final analysis, what The Walking Dead offers still more than makes up for its occasional stumbles. It's definitely a road trip worth taking - as long as you don't mind its highs being its most devastating lows, its good endings being little but the trap where optimism goes to die.
Clementine's group is pushed to breaking point in 'The Walking Dead' season 2 finale, 'No Going Back.' (Spoilers in this review)
The first Telltale finale where your choices carry true weight, but the inconsistent and contrived characterisation means it comes at considerable cost.
This finale gets you reflecting about who Clementine really is and how you've shaped her. The narrative is intense and heartbreaking
The Walking Dead Season 2 Finale is never quite as meaningful or powerful as the first season
A brutal showdown and zombies on ice mark the final, oddly slow-paced, episode of season two of The Walking Dead.
I really enjoyed Season 2 of The Walking Dead overall, even if its finale lacks bite. It was original, compelling, and managed to deliver yet another interesting cast of characters to romp through the countryside with. I can safely say that Telltale hasn't run out of ideas yet, and I'd still love to see a Season 3 someday.
