For the first time in the game the storyline truly branched in pretty much six different ways at the end. It’s a frustrating feeling that has caused me to not really “play in the moment” and make decisions I may not have made otherwise, because why not? This all seemingly changes at the end of episode 5. If you have kept up with my recaps and reviews of the Walking Dead Season 2 game, you would know that my biggest gripe in the series is the feeling that I am really not shaping the story line, but rather only making very minor choices as I plummet towards the same inevitable outcomes. Although the finale never quite matched the epic story arc of Episode 3, “In Harms Way,” there is no shortage of tough decisions and heartbreaking moments in episode five, “No Going Back.” While a lot of the season two finale follows the same formulaic patterns as previous episodes by giving you the “illusion” of making multiple decisions only to get the exact same outcome with a slightly different flavor, what really shocked me at the end of the episode had nothing really to do with the story at all.
Season 2 of Telltales’ The Walking Dead game has ended in what was a great wrap that brought us some of the most brutal killings and tragic losses we’ve had to deal with yet.
