  Episode three is a slow thought provoking instalment that goes into some really fascinating areas. It’s intelligently written and plotted out, though is occasionally hampered by a poor supporting cast. Clementine shines greater than ever, and a certain series staple gets an excellent outing, but those around them(bar the fantastic Carver) aren’t always as strong. They aren’t as memorable as season one’s cast, but it doesn’t rely on them as much.

  Even if the player interaction has been toned down, there are still some really great things to see and do in Episode 3. It is a gruesome ride that is full of peril, difficult decisions and some great moments. If you have already invested time and money into Season 2, keep going; it is well worth it. If you haven’t picked up the full season or are thinking about starting it up, do yourself a favor and do it already.

  7.0

  The final decision of the third episode hints that that may be the case going forward, but we'll have to wait and see. With more independence and more influence her darker (or at least more mature) side can grow.

  In spite of the usual technical troubles, the quality of the writing in The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 3 – In Harm’s Way is too good to ignore. Indeed, incredible storytelling and character development leads to one of the best chapters in Telltale Games’ library, and after a slightly slow start, this season is now moving at full force.

  8.0

  Telltale's character drama is as strong as ever, but Clementine's boldest dialogue options end up making her more capable than the adults around her.

  8.0

  In Harm's Way is a particularly violent episode, given that the violence is predominantly human-on-human, with the Walkers making only a few obligatory appearances. As such, the real kicker is just how understated the savagery is in most instances. In this game, a beating is a beating - it's not pretty, it's not even very dramatic. It's simply raw, and uncomfortable to watch, and it's over with a frightening swiftness.
