![]() Maybe next time eh?Īdditionally, it’s disappointing that the decisions you make don’t really feel like they are pushing through a significant imprint on any future outcomes. It would have been nice to have seen these issues fixed between the seasons as they most definitely have an effect on the whole gritty atmosphere. As has always been the issue – and the same goes for Telltales other hit 360 game, The Wolf Among Us – the QTE’s see a fair bit of stuttering and the occasional slowdown. There are a few quick time events included and these mostly centre around avoiding the undead but these are few and far between. The story is without the massive relationship building that was found previously but it’s still as solid as before and whilst the first season exploded on to our consoles, this one takes a much more sedate pace. The episode contains an awful lot of investigation work, especially when coming across abandoned shelters but this is broken up nicely by a decent number of interactions with fellow survivors (both good and bad), with a personal highlight being the opportunity to build up a connection with a stray dog. Much of the 100 minutes or so of action focus on Clementine sneaking around the zombie filled world whilst learning how to fend for herself in the best possible way. Disappointing yes, but it was something that was quickly forgotten as I got further into the story. I had a problem in that the game couldn’t find my previous seasons save and so whilst I would have liked to have continued Clems story with all my own decisions still intact, I wasn’t able to. ![]() If you are one of the few who haven’t played Season one, and are jumping in blind with the second season (shame on you!), then thankfully the game will auto generate any significant points of the story to date and will briefly run through these before the episode starts. Without going into too much detail and throwing in spoilers, for the most part this will come in the form of Clementines memories as we see very few characters from last time round making a reappearance here. The series prides itself on the fact that all actions you take will make a difference to the overall story, both in the short and long term, and any decisions you made in season one will be carried over to this season. Set over the course of roughly 16 months, Episode 1 will become instantly familiar to all those who played the first season as the point and click nature, the controls, the quick time events and the superb art style are all exactly the same as the first time round. So has a year been long enough to create a solid story? Or should a little more time have been spent between the two seasons? The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1: All That Remains should hopefully answer those questions. ![]() ![]() Oh, she’ll also need to fight off all manner of walkers along the way, whilst trying to find enough food to get her through the day and a safe enough place to shelter down at night. From trying to protect Clementine via Lee’s eyes in a third party perspective, Xbox 360 owners now have direct control over where Clementine goes, the decisions she makes and how she, as a young girl, reacts to the strangers that she will meet. A little over a year has passed since we were playing the first season and the focus has had to shift a little.
