The Walking Dead: Season Two Episode 1 - All That Remains

While we’ve been eager to avoid spoilers here, know that The Walking Dead: Season Two starts with a bang. As you’d expect, new characters are introduced, the writing and voice acting is outstanding, and you’ll feel more protective of protagonist Clementine than any previous episode. We are a little concerned that the already established character may influence your decisions a little too much, but this is still an undeniably strong opening to another promising Telltale Games series.

Telltale also found new ways to surprise and just when it appears like you have a grasp on what’s happening, the circumstances completely change. Episode one not only reintroduces us to the world of The Walking Dead, it raises the stakes in such a way that Clementine’s situation is more perilous than ever. We weren’t convinced that season two could eclipse season one, but at least in a few ways, it already has.

Season 2’s premiere of The Walking Dead is predictable in good and bad ways — its character drama is strong, its technical prowess is not. Clementine’s character development highlights the fact that she was a secondary character, someone to look out for, in the first season. Here, she’s come into her own, learned from the Lee Everett we knew more about, and is stronger than she’s ever been — both as a person and a story’s subject.

Despite its flaws, The Walking Dead: season 2: Episode 1 is still an outstanding game. It still makes you feel for its characters in ways no other game on the market does. It’s still one of the best examples of games as art our industry has to offer. In fact, this is perhaps the best piece of zombie fiction available right now. Yes, better than World War Z. Yes, better than Night of the Living Dead. If you are a fan of zombie fiction in general, you owe it to yourself to play this game.

The true crux of All That Remains is the lack of hope. It doesn’t set up the second season as well as the pilot episode did for the first, and overall it’s the weakest episode yet. It’s still a good, engaging and emotional experience, just one which doesn’t quite get the ball rolling enough and misses the mark at points where it could’ve been truly brilliant.

Despite the Telltale Tool's obnoxious technical shortcomings, which I'm becoming increasingly less patient with, "All That Remains" is a riveting 90 minutes and a promising start to Clementine's story. I'm on the edge of my seat to see where this still-young story goes, and I expect newcomers and Walking Dead veterans alike will feel the same. Bring on the cel-shaded aesthetic, branching conversations, and unrelenting bleakness.

Ver el cambio y madurez de Clementine, más superviviente que una simple niña pequeña, ciertas decisiones desagradables pero necesarias, un par de momentos de acción brillantes y un nuevo elenco de personajes muy variados y llenos de matices son la carta de presentación de “All That Remains”, un capítulo que sirve de introducción para ponernos en contexto y poder arrancar en el segundo episodio.

The Walking Dead Season Two nos ha sorprendido de nuevo con un gran diseño de personajes, una buena porción de historia y unos momentos realmente sobrecogedores. Su uso del color es de los mejores y los nuevos protagonistas tienen potencia, aunque sigue adoleciendo de unas animaciones toscas y una jugabilidad simple. En cuanto a la trama, seguimos esperando que tanto nuestras acciones pasadas como las futuras empiecen a tener un impacto real. Ahí es cuando la verdadera magia surgirá efecto.

Kalau kamu senang dengan cerita bertema zombie, kalau kamu senang dengan cerita yang bagus dan menyentuh, beli game ini! Kalau kamu bosan dengan game yang memiliki gameplay repetitif still beli game ini! Meskipun gameplay dari game ini juga sebenarnya repetitif, tapi kan gameplay bukanlah hal utama dari game-game Telltale. Kalau kamu tidak terlalu tertarik dengan game ini meskipun telah membaca review saya = tetap beli game ini dan coba mainkan sendiri.

Het emotionele en indrukwekkende verhaal wordt moeiteloos voortgezet en met Clementine in de hoofdrol krijgen we een nieuwe kijk op de vergane wereld van The Walking Dead. Mocht je nog nooit een aflevering gespeeld hebben, dan raden we het je toch aan om eerst het (overigens geweldige) eerste seizoen te spelen. De band die je daar met Clementine opbouwt is nu al enorm belangrijk, en wij kunnen je haast verzekeren dat dit in de toekomstige afleveringen alleen nog maar belangrijker gaat worden. Laten we hopen dat we snel aan aflevering twee kunnen beginnen.
