The Walking Dead: Season Two
About the Game
Despite being called The Walking Dead: Season Two , this release is actually only the first episode ( All That Remains ) of a five-part series. The Walking Dead: Season Two continues the story of The Walking Dead and is based on the comic books (not the TV series) of the same name.
Story & Setting
Besides a small intro portion, the story is set over a year after the happenings of the first game. players take the role of Clementine, but regarding gameplay - with the obvious difference that the girl is not nearly as strong as the previous protagonist Lee is more often on the defensive - the mechanics are largely unchanged compared to the predecessor.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Just like the source material, the game is less about fighting zombies than showing how the survivors react to their situation and interact which each other. Sometimes Clementine has the opportunity to explore a small areal and interact with items or people in order to reach her next goal or just to learn more about the situation. Here the game uses a mix between direct movement of the character and using an cursor to choose an item to interact with: after hovering over an object, a list of possible actions (e.g. looking at, taking the item or using another item in Clementine's possession) pops up. However, in comparison to the predecessor the puzzle-solving aspect has been completely removed; proceeding is only a matter of interacting with all needed items and persons.
