So this is the last and final season and wow was it as amazing as the first. It really shows that you don't need amazing physics and graphics to make a great game. It was an emotional roller coaster from start to finish especially the final episode. A lot of critique these games are getting is that the choices don't really matter that much, and that may partially be true. But for me the choices makes me feel engaged and it get me some sort of liberty in choosing how I want my characters. And so what the choices don't have game chancing consequences, the story telling in itself is so amazing that it shouldnt be that big of a problem. The story is amazing and the characters are great. Clementine is one of the absolutely best game protagonists ever and you can nothing but care for her. I'm gonna miss her and I'm definitely gonna miss telltales amazing stories. Thanks for all the great memories

allu-3567027 March 2019What a journey it has been playing these games. I never thought I would cry more than I cried when Clem had to shoot Lee. But this Final Season proved that I could cry more and I sure did. This season gave us everything we wanted. Clementine being what we wanted her to be, strong, independent, sweet, like a mother to AJ and finally finding love. The first episode gave us great look how Clem has grown up to be like an adult. They found their new home and everything seemed fine. The ending for the 1st episode was crazy and unexpected. 2nd episode was a bit more calm and it gave us more of AJ's and Clems beautiful relationship. We saw an old character Lilly return which was quite a shock. 2nd episode ended quite dramatically and really tough choice to end the episode. 3rd episode was action filled episode which was really nervous. We saw more of the other kids in the school and got to know them better. Ending to that episode was also really intense. But finally the final episode of this beautiful game series was upon us and...it really was touching. I started the episode hoping that Tenn was alright after the episode and he was. Everyone was fine actually it seemed like perfect ending was coming. Then it all went wrong. Clem, AJ and Tenn had to survive with James' help. James was not happy and we got another intense scene in the caves. After that it seemed like everything was fine again. Louis appeared and their love relationship was so sweet. But then...Minnie came back.She ruined everything. When that axe swing that hit Clem my first thought was "This is going to be end isn't it". Tenn had to be sacrificed because I didn't want Louis to die now when Clem had finally found love. Then...then it happened. Clem got bitten, I can't describe how broken I felt, I cried and were saying "no no no no" but it really happened. When Clem and AJ were making their way to the barn and Clem fell over I just couldn't keep myself tough and tears started to appear on my face. When they made their way to the barn and Clem sat there I got flashbacks of the heartbreaking scene with Lee. Then I had to play with AJ, and that told me "Clem isn't going to make this". It was calm in the barn and then Clem said AJ had to kill her. I cried my eyes out when AJ lifted the axe up. Then we got flashback of Clerm saving AJ and I was like please don't let that be true. Then we went into the present we saw AJ fishing and he was happy, I wondered how can you be happy. Then...I saw Clem with only one leg. AJ HAD CHOPPED HIS INFECTED LEG OFF. I was so happy they really got me there. First I thought it wasn't real but it was. Clem told AJ to make his own decisions and this probably affected this. The ending with Clem's cap next to window gave me the chills. Beautiful ending what I hoped for, Clem staying alive.

francaarthur27 December 2019I was 13 at the first time I played a game of this franchise, and since then, I can't tell how this games made me feel realized, amazed, and responsible to other people lifes and more than that, how it made me feel so envolved and sentimental over these years. Exclusively about this game, I just can say how it was so well constructed, with so many beautiful dialogues that made me fall into tears many times during this beautiful game. I always loved this story, and I'll never get over it, but I am so happy with the ending my characters got, as I couldn't see anything better happening to them. I'll miss it a lot, but for a thing to be a masterpiece, it needs to have an end, even if we as fans don't want it to ever happen. Telltale and Skybound, thank you for providing me such an amazing journey, I will never forget either Lee, Clem, AJ, Kenny, Carley, Violet or any other character that shared that journey with me in a positive way. You will always be in my heart, I can just say from the bottom of my heart: Thank You.

tylerfarmer-2513628 March 2019Thanks to both of you guys for making such a great series of games that I really enjoyed! It's been a wild ride

The final chapter of the Clementine story for Telltale's The Walking Dead series of games and it was a great one. The protagonist is once again Clementine and she's by far one of the best and most fleshed out characters in the comic universe, simply magnificent character writing and development, a journey we won't see for many years. The tone and atmosphere of this game has lots of season 1 vibes from the overall story with the protagonist showing the way to survive in the apocalypse to a child and they did it amazing with now the experienced Clementine showing AJ, just that made this a great game but it was the story, characters and villain that did the game justice. Having Lilly from season 1 back in a great role as a vicious leader that seem bad but is honestly a good person doing bad things to support her own community. I liked every single episode but I excepted us to see the war they they teased and talked about, leaving us with Lilly just driving off feeling regret of what she did. It wasn't that unexpected in that Clementine was going to get bit, it was done in the season's most suspenseful moments. Simply great work Telltale and Skybound. The music is superb in this, from the suspenseful moments to the drama moments and the songs that are unknown but perfect and fitting.
Some of my favorite parts of the game was all the nods to the comic universe, Easter eggs and throwbacks to different games via dialogue. They really nailed the dialogue and choices, making every choice matter. Louis Violet and James was three of my favorite side characters, the way you got to bond with them made me care for them. The story and tone is another thing I liked, great narrative. Clementine's hat have seen it all, the beginning of her story and the possible end if they don't make a sequel which I doubt but what I want, or even a spin off to focus on Javier and his group. -
This was a great story, one of the most memorable video games I've ever played. Watching Clem grow up felt like almost a child of mine. The ending was great no spoilers here. If you're new to this game play through the 4 full games. To the staff at Telltale it's been real great games through out the years and as a studio you guys will be missed. Thanks Skyward also for fininshing this final series. What a great ending and a tribute to a great story.

brads-5429623 October 2020Very emotional and I'm emotionally attached. Great story, 10/10.

This is the only game I've played where I can truly say I enjoyed every single second of it. The story, characters, graphics, music, atmosphere - litterally everything about this game is so perfect. As Violet would say about chicken nuggets, I'd give my eyeball to experience it for the first time again.

drummerlaci14 January 2020At the beginning it was hard to take this children community seriously. But later on it grew on me. The game just sucked me in.
About the ending. At the barn seeing Clem's bitten, slowly dying... I cried my eyes off. Then the flashback sceen about her reunion with AJ and the fishing sceen... I was devasteted, simply heart broken. I felt like I lost a loved one, someone I really knew and loved. Then I heard her voice at the fire palce and I just started to cry again I was so glad that she's alive. This ending was so strong emotionaly. -
saryuevan18 August 2021This review sums up all the main three games.
The best series of games I have ever played. I can't just get over with all the main three games. Brilliant emotional masterpieces. The best story telling ever. I never felt bored even a moment in these wonderful games. My favorite video game character Clementine. Honorable characters like Lee, Kenny and AJ. It was the best experience I had of my life. I cried a lot smiled a little. That's the way it is. Never forgotten Clementine. An amazing finale of a season. Thank you to all the developers. -
wallyhayes17 May 2022This is definitely the best game in the series. It is hilarious and has a lot of things that will make you laugh out loud. It will make you shocked and cry a lot. Especially at the end. SPOILER WARNING: At the end of the game when you decide to kill clementine, if you don't cry you are a monster.

lukerose0228 March 2020I definitely enjoyed it and it was an improvement over A New Frontier, but it still didn't live up to the first two seasons, both of which were absolute gold.
I also didn't like AJ very much, he was pretty annoying and I didn't really care about him the way I did for Clem in season one. -
Pjtaylor-96-13804429 June 2021'The Walking Dead: The Final Season (2018)' takes place several years after 'The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (2016)' and gives players full control of series regular Clementine as she and AJ continue to fight for survival in an ever-hostile world. This time, though, your actions have more consequences than they may initially seem to: AJ is watching everything you do and he's a quick learner. This mechanic is almost solely why the game is so utterly compelling, as what would normally be a simple fight for survival actually turns into a challenging fight for the sole. The game will force you to think about your actions even more than usual, especially since AJ can and will act on his own according to what you've taught him. It's a stroke of genius, really. The narrative plays with some interesting themes and brings up stimulating questions. What does morality really look like in a post-apocalyptic world? Do words like 'murder' matter anymore? How do we know there aren't still people trapped inside the walkers? Even if there aren't, what makes it right to kill them? There are no correct answers and that's the point. It's remarkably effective, really. Though the plot does have a few issues with pacing and perhaps scale, it's ultimately engaging and enjoyable throughout. The game also mixes things up from a gameplay perspective, with a slightly more in-depth combat system replacing the simple QTEs of prior titles and some areas in which you're given a bit more room to explore. The combat isn't fantastic but it does its job, asking you to move around the battlefield and strategically place your blows. It makes for a more hands-on feel overall. Of course, the game's meat-and-potatoes is still its dialogue and dialogue options. The choices feel natural and the writing is on-point, even if there are still a few inevitable instances of 'false agency' and some larger choices that perhaps don't matter as much as they pretend to. The piece serves as an appropriate end to the series, though, with a satisfying finale that's every bit as emotionally impactful as you'd hope. As a whole, it's a poignant, distinct and subversive 'interactive story' that's as enjoyable as it is compelling. 9/10.

P9720 August 2018Easily one of the best seasons in the series so good that it's even comparable to the first season and a great improvement over a new frontier which was kinda forgettable.
Clementine is easily the best that she has ever been in terms of character progression and her relationship with aj is the biggest highlight of this game along with a lot of new characters that most of them are fleshed out and you spend a good amount of time interacting with them and your relationship can change with them based on your choices throughout the game.
It also has a great villain with a returning character that i won't spoil, minerva was a really badass character i wish we had more time with her since this game is long enough to give everyone a good amount of screen time and that brings to my only problem with the game, it should have been 5 episodes instead of 4 really long episodes that can feel kinda boring if you try to play it in 1 walkthrough because this season unlike a new frontier slows a lot to give characters more time but i think the pacing could have been a little bit better (season 2 i think had the best runtime without feeling tired or rushed) overall it's the best finale we could have hoped for clementine and easily the most satisfying ending in the series. -

meamitkverma7 August 2021Thankyou skybound and telltale games for this awesome series.
First ever game which you can connect deeply through all the emotions.
The final season was well written, as the new generation of kids takeover the world and show how capable they are. May be this soon ends.
The ending was kind of mixed feelings. -
fountasalexander25 October 2022Finally I've finished the entire TWD series from telltale. I already knew how this one ended years ago but for the first time I'd just finished playing the entire series from 1-4.
This series was really something special, from iconic characters to great stories, telltale and skybound really produced a masterpiece of franchise.
Although the third instalment in the series wasn't the greatest, the final season made up for it.
Everyone that got Clem to this moment here will always be remembered in our hearts.
Thank you Telltale for blessing us with this beautiful story, and thank you Skybound for finishing Clementines. -
As if I didn't like The Walking Dead Telltale series enough! The first season was so incredible that everybody wanted a sequel that could live up to the expectations. Season 2 did just that apart from a few flawed features. Season 3/A New Frontier is a tad underrated. Many fans of this series were very disappointed and disliked Season 3. To an extent they're correct, however, it was still a good addition to the series. It was very flawed compared to the previous two seasons and The Final Season but still a great experience. The Final Season is very well written, the pacing of each episode was at an appropriate speed, the dialogue wasn't boring or drawn out. It had the action when it needed it. It had the emotional scenes when it was required. Something very special and interesting about this Season is the symbolism between Clementine and AJ's relationship. This is because it is very representative of Lee and young Clementine in Season 1. Clem is now a strong, 16 year old survivor looking out for the people she cares about. The story-line for this season is something new rather than just finding a community or group of people and them all dying leaving Clementine alone again. The characters are better as they are all young unlike previous seasons when it was young Clementine surrounded by adults. The new characters are far more interesting and I seemed to actually care about what would be awaiting them in their next scene. Telltale clearly updated their engines because the graphics and visual effects are very well done. There is a new style of gameplay but they have been updating this progressively over the 4 seasons. Nothing in this season made me disappointed or unimpressed. It never failed to keep me on the edge of my seat, have my jaw on the floor, and have my heart pounding. I think it was done perfectly and it was a great Final Season and even better than Season 1. THANK GOD CLEMENTINE SURVIVES! They made us think they was dead for almost an hour in the last episode ;)

Lefteris-Anagnostopoulos11 August 2021One of the best Telltale experiences ever! The story comes full circle in a haunting and dark finale. It was so beautiful and I was so happy to be part of it. By the end, your eyes will be hot with tears. 10/10
Clem... I'll miss you. Don't be afraid. You 'll be okay. -
After season 3 I was hoping that we'd get a decent ending to the series, and we got it, very much so.
Even from the beginning it is captivating, Clem's parent/mentorlike relationship with AJ is very real and beautifully written. I loved seeing Clem as a parent. It is sure hard raising Aj, he lived only in this world and it must be hard making a child understand the norms of the previous world and the rules of this new apocalyptic world while being able to remain humans.
This new group Clem and AJ got into is very interesting, the first group where there are no adults, and the group dynamics are not so clear after Clem has arrived.
The ending is satisfying, although I wish I had done some things differently. In my opiion it is the second best season of the series (after season 1 of course). -
Serenity300013 December 2023Clem's journey is finally over and it is a happy one. The writers had the audience scared for awhile when the character shift from Clem to AJ, which the same way it happened when Lee died and the story shifted to Clem, but Clem was alive minus a leg. She lived and Clem and AJ got their happy ending.
I loved everything about this video game series. It was actually like being apart of a real tv mini-series, but the player get to determine the outcome and what happens. Since Clem was a child she had fought the deadones and poor little AJ was born into the Living Dead. He didn't get a chance to know the world without the monsters and Clem was there every step of the way protecting him. Clem and the kids at the mansion were great helping each other to survive. I knw eventually Clem would become the leader and she did. Clem even found love with Lewis. I would recommend this serie to any gamer that loves a good plot and storyline. It is not all action, but the character interactions are well worth the price of play. The Telltale writers and director have a new fan. -
mtrburrows4 August 2019When I finished playing episode 1 my jaw was on the floor. After the disappointing A New Frontier, Telltale had given me interesting and fun, well developed characters, on par with the character time we spent in Season 1 that provided us with moments we still remember 7 years on. Not to mention, the cliffhanger we were left with here was probably the best Telltale has ever given us.
The first thing anyone notices about the Final Season is how much it's a character driven experience. Telltale games had strayed from their initial types of storytelling in which characters and their relationships to the main characters was what fuelled the game, to focus more on action, which was admittedly extremely well choreographed, but shallow at the same time. Here, we are given compelling, and thankfully, LIKEABLE characters that I was completely invested in by the time the final episode rolled around, with AJ, Louis, Violet, and Tenn being the standouts, and the characters that motivated a majority of the decisions this time round.
Then there's the elephant in the room, the return of Lily, which initially disappointed me in Episode 2 when she didn't have much screen-time and appeared quite one dimensional, but her villainous and cold moments in Episode 3 left me intrigued and wowed, especially after the ending that episode leaves us with, and the fist clenching decisions it presents.
Episode 1 and 3 are definitely the standouts, as episode 2 is definitely the slowest episode where the least happens, and what does happen isn't all that interesting, or in the case of the action, well choreographed and tense. This is definitely an episode that was intended to focus on the characters, but good character moments are too far apart with meandering missions and conversations filling the moments between. On the other hand, it appears episode 4 largely fell victim to the troubles Telltale Games was going through during its creation, as it provides a very simplistic "walk in one direction" story, a lack of important choices, a failure to show different paths based on previous choices (especially the choice to shoot Lily at the end of episode 3), and only one ending. The episode does have a couple memorable moments still, like the bridge and barn scene, but ultimately appears very limited in what the developers could do, with even certain voice actors being very noticeably replaced, like Tenn.
The season has a very distinct art style compared to other games produced by telltale, and it allows the game to have it's own gritty identity, which is a well appreciated touch to a very satisfying end to Clementine's story. 8/10. -
agustbergmanns15 December 2019This is good game I do recommend but never finished it but ... ... ... ... ... I would give it 11 stars if I could but ... ... ... ... Would u frick a creeper
-
adamsutter8 October 2021Wow...
Although a shorter season than the previous instalments, each episode is packed with great moments, big decisions, great characters and overall concludes perfectly.
Playing in September 2021 I had the benefit of playing through all four seasons in the span of a few weeks. What a journey. I'm sad it's come to an end but I'm happy it happened.
My rankings for all four seasons: #4 - A New Frontier (7/10) #3 - Season Two (10/10) #2 - The Final Season (10/10) #1 - Season One (10/10)
I look forward to playing all these again one day. But I am going to be replaying The Final Season very soon because I enjoy the ending so much.
Thank you Telltale and Skybound. Thank you very much. -
juanzanutto1 December 2021The finish of a story about Clementine and AJ surviving at a Zombie apocalypse, and this end was completely unexpected, I played all the other games and this is the most evolved and beatiful graphically. I loved the characters and them story . The choices has an extreme importance, if you do something you don't mean to, will have consequenses at the future, and it's not good. I will remember this game with good fellings and moments, held me all the time and if it continued I would play. Just another thing, some episodes were dubbed into my native language and i loved it.
