Season two ended with Clementine being in different places depending on your choices. Rival groups cause you distress, allies betray you, and you must choose between protecting those you love versus doing what's best for the greater good.Ĭlementine offers the most interesting development, as a lot has changed since we last saw her. Even his brother David, a hothead who's struggling to control his temper, reminds me of past characters like Kenny. Javier feels like a protagonist we've seen before – a man with a troubled past and a heart of a gold. Seeing these threads surface repeatedly makes them less surprising and intriguing with each iteration, and this problem shows the most in season three. We've reached new settlements, met corrupt leaders, and watched alliances break over the course of this series. The result is mixed on the one hand, the season's focus on a family and what it means in this dark world is intriguing, but it is also brought down by recycled plot lines and inconsistent writing. In season three, we step into the shoes of Javier, a completely new character who crosses paths with Clementine. Season two made an interesting shift by putting Clementine in the spotlight, giving us the perspective of a young girl. Telltale's approach felt new and exciting, packed with tough choices and a focus on characters and story.
Lee and Clementine's adventure was an emotional roller coaster. The first season of The Walking Dead set a high bar.
