You and I are tasked with the same goal of protecting Clem, but the way we do it might be completely different. I might choose to befriend someone you hate, and you might choose to leave someone I took. I might shoot my mouth off in anger, but you might keep your cool; either way, the group will remember that and the dynamic will change. The decisions you’re making in the moment have ripples that go throughout the entire adventure. When you get to Episode 5, the things you have and haven’t done – the choices you haven’t thought about since Episode 1 – are going to come up.

Despite the title The Final Season, Telltale did not rule out future The Walking Dead games; Creative Director Kent Mudle said that The Final Season title represented the end of Clementine's journey from Telltale's view, but could revisit the franchise through other characters.

And while the game is very engaging and certainly a fun adventure game, the game can feel very short. As said before, each episode can take from 1-2 hours to complete, and with only 5 available (sources claim a second season is in the works) this can get pretty short. And while 5 dollars (approximately 400 Microsoft Points) isn't much, when added up its a fairly steep price for a few hours of gameplay.While the series was primarily developed and published by Telltale Games under license from Skybound, the studio effectively shuttered in late 2018 in the midst of the fourth main series, The Final Season. Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead and of Skybound, felt it was necessary to finish off Clementine's story, and hired some of the Telltale staff to finish off the series. Skybound also took over publishing duties for the other games in the series. Dyer, Mitch (August 26, 2014). "The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 5 Review". IGN . Retrieved August 26, 2014.

See, The Walking Dead is an adventure game, but it’s not the kind of adventure game you’ve come to expect.

Thanks to a well cast group of voice actors, players will feel engrossed in a very detailed game that reflects the art style of the comic. And combined with a suspenseful story of tense group dynamics, loss, and isolation, many will find themselves playing an entire episode in one sitting, or even more to try and learn the alternate choices.Walking Dead is closer to a TV show or book than a traditional zombie video game. Most of the walking is only done to go from one interaction point to another, and weapons are only available during action sequences. There is no healing system, if a walker bites you during an action sequence, you are dead and must restart from the beginning of the sequence. While not entirely a bad thing, this can become tedious overtime. The Walking Dead Episode 4 – Around Every Corner (PC)". metacritic.com . Retrieved January 21, 2015. There’s not a ton to say about Telltale’s only mini-series. It’s only three episodes in length and it follows the fan-favourite comic book character while she’s absent from the comics. If you’re a big Michonne fan, you’ll definitely enjoy this detour as it digs in deeper to her origins, although it doesn’t reveal information that we didn’t already know. The game does go over the top with its stakes for such a small story but it’s overall a fine, if passable, game in the collection. The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series contains all 4 Seasons, 400 Days, and The Walking Dead: Michonne, which includes over 50 hours of gameplay across 23 unique episodes. With graphical enhancements, behind the scenes bonus features and faithful recreations of classic menus, this is the definitive way to experience Clementine’s journey and find out how her story ends. a b Goldfarb, Andrew (November 22, 2016).
