The Walking Dead The Final Season Reviews
The concluding chapters of Clementine’s journey remains as emotional and stressful as ever, but rarely feels purposeful enough to be a worthwhile finale for longtime fans. The key improvements to the gameplay and presentation sets them at an all-time high for the series, and the path AJ takes as a result of Clementine’s choices is truly impactful, but they are hindered by a lackluster cast and a meandering story that pales in comparison to previous seasons. While the real-life series of events that needed to occur for Clementine’s story to see its finale are certainly worth appreciating, it is unfortunate to see such a lengthy adventure end on such an uninspired note.

As for the ending itself, Skybound offers up a satisfying, if bittersweet conclusion for one of the most beloved video game characters of all time. While the result of who is still standing at the end seems slightly inconsequential of direct player choice (or at least, it seemed to be as a result of a different choice than expected) there’s enough room for players to feel that at least some of their choices mattered in the end. If nothing else, it’s a chance to say goodbye.
Variety
Despite those issues, Telltale’s The Walking Dead has a great conclusion, and I’m happy the team responsible for it was able to see this through to the end. It’s a shame that their original parent company marred the overall experience significantly, but their ability to bounce back under another publisher and deliver to this degree is exceptional. I’m both sad and happy that this is the conclusion of Clementine’s tale, but the character arc is so well delivered, you won’t be disappointed.
