The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 5 - No Going Back

Beyond the story in this kind of game, there’s not much to describe, but if you’re new, I will reiterate. The graphics are remarkably cel-shaded, and each scene looks like it’s torn from the pages of a comic book. ...It’s never complicated, but it certainly is not robust. I typically play games for the story, so I shouldn’t complain, but I always feel like I could be more engaged when I play a Telltale game.

No Going Back is the perfect title for the fifth episode of The Walking Dead Season 2 as it captures the emotional scenarios Clementine has had to overcome. ...It’s a journey well worth finishing, but unfortunately the final scenario is the only positive aspect No Going Back has going for it....The way Telltale is able to manipulate your emotions so easily is astonishing, so it makes it all the more disappointing the rest of the episode doesn’t come together as well as it could have.

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.
