![]() ![]() The series is a standalone as well, meaning viewers can watch this series without ever seeing one episode of The Walking Dead or its other spinoffs. Other unique elements of Tales of the Walking Dead include the fact that each episode is set in different areas of the United States and spans various times during the apocalypse, one episode as far as 30 years after the outbreak.

I’m eager to see where the story goes from here. Although the supporting cast are currently mostly blank slates, the conflicts and relationships established in this episode promise bigger things to come. Its decision to make Clementine the hero is a brilliant, depowering move that increases the tension from last season while still giving us a familiar, sympathetic face to root for. Yet Telltale Games has done a good job in setting up future episodes by asking tantalizing questions about its plot and cast. ConclusionĪll That Remains is short, roughly two hours long. It was both comical and unsettling, but not game-breaking - which makes Season Two a more stable product than its predecessor. Yet I still encountered one bug that caused characters to appear in rooms like ghosts while Clem went about her business. My save game file uploaded without a hitch, and my playthrough was stutter-free. Telltale seems to have fixed some of the technical problems that plagued Season One. But The Walking Dead’s QTEs have always been its least interesting aspect all that time spent dodging zombies is time that could be better spent on dialogue and plot. Combat is more streamlined and faster-paced than in Season One. ![]() This episode has a greater emphasis on action, but luckily, Telltale has taken some of the refinements it made in another of its adventure series, The Wolf Among Us, and applied them here. One section where Clem sneaks through a house could’ve been a great, nail-biting stealth sequence, but once you realize you’re in no danger from the house’s inhabitants, it becomes more tedious than tense. Telltale has seemingly thrown the notion of puzzles out the window. While this will be fine with many people, others will miss the lack of traditional gameplay. The Walking Dead is more interactive fiction than actual game. ![]() I have faith, however, that Telltale has big things planned for Clementine and her new group in the coming months. But you get little time to get to know these newcomers in between All That Remain’s many action sequences, and the emotional investment just isn’t there - yet. But most of the characters you spent time getting to know in Season One are absent for various reasons, and a new batch of survivors have taken their place. It has some callbacks, including one notably melancholy scene where you can decide to divulge Clem’s past. So far, the choices you make in Season One seem to have little effect on All That Remains. It’s a little disappointing that Telltale hasn’t given players the option to pick their own choices going into Season Two, leaving anyone who lost their earlier saves for whatever reason out in the cold. If you didn’t, the choices are randomly assigned. If you played Season One, you can carry over your save file and the choices you made to the second season. Season One’s choices don’t have a major impact … yet Image Credit: Telltale Games What you won’t like ![]()
