The verdict
An emotional, well-made finale to Clementine's story built on her bond with AJ. Skip it if you dislike QTEs, slow pacing and clunky PC combat, or haven't played earlier seasons.
Great for
Fans of Telltale's Walking Dead who want a tearful, story-driven conclusion to Clementine's journey
Main risk
Clunky combat and QTEs plus a divisive, illogical story and ending that disappoint after earlier seasons
