Amazing

I didn't think it was possible for a game to come along that I'd find equal to the first season of Telltale's The Walking Dead but this season has done it. It has amazing character devolpment and emotional depth and continues to develop it's characters well into the final episode. It finally feels as though your choices actually matter because they do there are an amazing number of outcomes like, for example, depending on your relationship with Clementine throughout the game it affects whether or not Gabe dies when you find David dead if you chose to stay with Kate. Also if you choose to allow Conrad to live in episode 2 he can very well live Through the game which is something that we haven't seen before, also when Kate loses control of the vehicle in Richmond if Conrad is still alive and you fail the move left prompt instead of just having Javi die and say Game Over, as it usually would, Conrad will push Javi out of the way, saving his life and getting himself killed in the process which is another first. The Garcia family is overall very likeable, layered new characters. All of the new characters introduced are very layered and well developed whether they're development makes them a hero or a villain you will know they're reasoning and it won't always be clear black and white, good and evil. Nobody feels safe, which is demonstrated early in the game with the killing of a young child that is very close to the protagonist and the player is made to like, which is something not new to the series, one thing that is, however, new is the fact that you can actually save a great number of characters, not everyone dies for a change which is very refreshing. Ultimately I found this game to be amazing, Javier was a very likeable protagonist who could change depending on the player's choices, in the imminent season 4 I do sincerely hope we can also play as Javier once again, maybe finally in a 50/50 split with Clem like they promised for this season. This game was amazing and very impacting, it reminded me in a very good way of the first season. 10/10.
