The Walking Dead: The Final Season

[i][h3]Goodnight, sleep tight, don’t let a walker bite.[/h3][hr][/hr][quote=Clementine, chatting with Louis during dinner, about Lee.]L. | What'd he teach you? C. | [b]Lots of stuff.[/b] L. | Most important thing? C. | [b]How to say goodbye.[/b][/quote] I genuinely have no idea how they managed it. This final season was as tumultuous as game development can get—and yet, they absolutely delivered. This game is one of the rare titles in the medium that truly challenges who you are as a person. It alters your perspective on life. You find yourself empathizing with people who have committed the gravest of sins. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsqL9OoD3qo]You find your lifelong beliefs shifting in an instant.[/url] Yes, some characters are exaggerated. And yes, a few technical issues from the first season still linger. But Clementine’s journey—her struggle to find a new home—will hold you spellbound until the very end. Because you’ve grown and matured with her, quite literally. I was born in 2003, and the first game was released in 2012, when I was eight—the same age as Clementine. We've walked this path together, all throughout the franchise. I couldn't have asked for a more fitting conclusion to both the series and Clementine’s story. The first season left a deep impression on me—one I still reflect on from time to time. And I won’t forget this one either. The characters are all incredibly well written. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmYVUyR7drg]Each one is introduced and developed with believable, meaningful arcs.[/url] There are hardly any moments that feel out of character—none that come to mind, at least, that would break the immersion. Telltale made great strides in the technical aspects of their games. There are barely any freezes or abrupt loading screens. The experience flows smoothly almost the entire time. I cannot recommend these games enough. It’s truly a shame that Telltale is no longer around. Their storytelling was nothing short of magical. It’s rare to find games these days that immerse you so deeply in the characters’ worlds—not just the settings, but their inner worlds. Their motivations, fears, quirks, and countless personality traits are portrayed with such clarity and nuance. These writers brought it all to life. Treasure these games. I’m writing this review through tears. I still get overwhelmed—now, about to be 22 years old in a couple of tendays—just as I did when I was a teenager. This game touched me in ways that will stay with me forever. I always tear up, no matter how many times I think about it, replay it, write about it, or talk about Clementine, Kenny, and Lee. They remain in my heart. And they always will—forevermore. [table][th]Ana... if you're reading this, this message is especially for you. You were by my side throughout my two years of high school, and together we shared a deep love for this game that touched us so profoundly.[/th][/table] Also... where is Kenny’s hat for Alvin Junior, Telltale and Skybound? You broke my heart! [b]Thank you, Telltale, for giving us this unforgettable experience over the past seven years. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.[/b] [b]And I say this—crying tears of joy and gratitude from the depths of my heart—alongside the entire community: thank you, Skybound, for completing the final two episodes of the last season, for giving us the conclusion we so desperately needed, and for not taking Clementine away from us. Thank you, so, so, so much.[/b] Oh, and one more thing—there's a series of comic books written by Tillie Walden that aims to expand Clementine's story beyond the final season. I've been reading them while waiting for the third volume to be released this month. That said, there are a few things I won’t spoil, particularly involving AJ, that left me upset. It’s important to note that the comics aren’t canon; they’re more of a fan-made continuation for those who wish to imagine what Clementine’s journey might look like beyond the game. Just a small addendum: the comics are often rage-inducing, as they repeatedly deconstruct Clementine’s character. Please keep in mind that they are not considered canon. I myself felt deeply upset on multiple occasions—this is certainly not the Clementine I know. Still, they exist for those who wish to explore that particular interpretation. To be clear, I dislike the comics and would not recommend them at all; they strip away everything we’ve come to know and love about Clementine. Many times, I felt deeply disappointed and angry. But, well, they’re out there. [quote=Louis, singing a special song, to Clementine.]Oh, my darlin', Oh, my darlin', Oh, my darlin' Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.[/quote] [h3][hr][/hr]I need you to live, AJ. For me. That's your job now.[/h3][/i]

The final game in the series. God what do I say about it. The game is absolutely terrific, it took everything from previous entries and spun it into a story that feels so complete and final that it made me truly care for these people. Its clear to me that this final hoorah of telltale it the culmination of years and years of experience put together and I just can't believe it. While I myself was rather late to the party, playing all the whole series throughout the month of June, 2025, it still felt to me like I grew with these games, like playing them took me all the ways back to the early 2010's and guided me back to now. The main takeaway from the series, at least in the way I see it is that we: 1. Shouldn't take who we are with for granted 2. Make the most of what we have 3. The choices we make matter so much more than we think And 4. Try, and if that doesn't work, try again. To finish, I have fallen in love with these games and if for some strange reason you are reading my review (Hello!) I would more than happily take the chance to go back and experience these games all over again. So please, play them and try your best to enjoy them!

The best game i have ever played.The game taught me a lot about survival,it has a very good message,and the gameplay is the best,if you want to play the game you have to buy every episode and if you like zombies this is the best game for you. When clemantine got bitten i wanted to throw my pc away. I am really impressed how the made this game.Hope they will do more games like this.

I honestly enjoy what they've done with the gameplay here. It's not groundbreaking, but it's definitely a welcome addition. The story and characters are a major step up when compared to the previous season. I like the aesthetics, and I like the conclusion, it's worthy of being the final season and the end of this journey, and I definitely recommend it. Just be sure to play at least the first two seasons before playing this; it will significantly improve the experience.

This review is for the whole of the TWD Telltale series, except 400 Days, and what I think makes this game a 10/10. Please, if you read this review, be aware of the spoilers and click them at your own discretion. I first got the first season because it was on sale and I had nothing else to do. On sale for under 2 pounds? How could I not? I thought it would be just a nice storytelling game. I was wrong. Season one had me hooked on its story from the beginning, and when [spoiler]Lee died[/spoiler], I cried, a lot, and from how it left me on a cliffhanger like that, I was desperate for Clementine’s story. For over 2 weeks whilst I slept, I couldn’t stop thinking about what happened. What got me was how Lee and Clementine bonded. From the way he called her “sweet pea” to how he put himself over her, it was heart touching. For over 1 week I was desperate for the other seasons, and when I heard about a sale, I was anticipating when I’d next get to continue Clem’s story. Season 2 and 3 were a nice way of continuing not just Clem’s story, but how the whole of America was affected by the disease. I preferred season 3 over season 2, as even though [spoiler]you don’t get to play as Clem, rather play beside her[/spoiler], and season 2 does lead on to season 3 to show how far she came and how she changed, I felt season 3 was more intriguing regarding her story. I don’t want to put too many spoilers in here because then it’ll be like a game journalist review, but season 3 also heavily acts on [spoiler]her getting AJ back[/spoiler], which leads up to the final season. I frankly have no words to describe how much this game, the last season specifically, made me cry. I don’t think I’ve ever cried harder in my life, funnily enough. Not when my bird died, not when my dog died when I was younger, never. I thought RDR2 was sob worthy, but this is a different level. This has to be my number 1 game I’ve ever played beside Skyrim, but even the storytelling alone and how attached I was to Clementine’s character and how she dictates how AJ acts. And I don’t care that more than half the game is cutscenes, this game is truly something. Don’t even get me started on the music, holy shit that’s a different story. Even though there is no chance of [spoiler]Clementine’s story being continued, and this is as good an ending as I could’ve hoped for[/spoiler], I would love to see a spinoff of [spoiler]AJ and how what Clementine taught him is shown through what he does.[/spoiler] This is truly a 10/10 game, and it is one, if not my favourite game I’ve ever played, and it might take me a few weeks to recover from this game’s ending. Even though people might not see this, and this is just a big rant, and when I read this back at myself, it sounds corny, I just had to vent on this game. If you’re thinking about getting it, get it. It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it certainly was mine, and will always be mine. I genuinely believe this game has changed me in some way, I dont know how, but it has.

IDK what it is with this series, its just so good! The rumors of season 1 with its "Useless" choices doesn't even bother me lol. because all of the series's story is just really good. Its heart-touching and I'm not even the emotional type. They improved a lot with the last season. I'm looking forward with the developer making more games especially like The walking dead season 4 graphics or gameplay... maybe even better! I love these interactive games especially coming from telltale. Heck, I don't think I'd care if they decided to milk the walking dead series, I love the walking dead games or show.

After 1 year, buying this game and finish the game by playing it 2 days . It worth for the price but haven't got all the achievement yet. I'm happy with my story line goes and still consider of the best telltale story series that I've been play for year. Worth giving it a shot to play.

I played this game with my friend Eric, and I gained memories I will never forget. The game itself is very bonding and spectacular if you let yourself be vulnerable and let it consume you. Thank you Tell Tale games for your game and giving me and my friend unforgettable memories. - Much love Agent_S1x

Absolutely beautifull game 11/10 loved the ending where she survives. Very emotional game. One of the very few games that changed me. Great Video game Franchise. Still.Not.Bitten.

The Telltale Walking Dead games are a fantastic choose-your-own-adventure type games. The story is so good that it triggers emotional responses that most other games don't even come close to. They really do capture the feeling and spirit of the graphic novels. A great ending to a great series.

I really love this game and the whole series, really. An amazing ending to an equally amazing story game series.

this game felt a lot more slow than the other games but i still enjoyed it!! i love my dear beloved clementine. from spoilers, i thought i'd get a different outcome, but i'm glad she's still with me. clementine forever <3

Some scenes need a skip or jump to actions or choices esp when fighting the zombies.. Best culmination to the end of the story

i wouldnt say that I hate the 3rd season but this season is by far my favorite and it makes up for the crazy non-clementine centered previous game. 10/10

whoever thought putting "mash Q" in every scene is fun gameplay has a diabolical mind. (Thumbs up as the story is decent, but quicktime events with button mashing need to go away forever now please)

I'm glad this series was allowed to be brought to a close despite the fact that TellTale shut down. I enjoyed playing through S4, but my emotional investment wasn't close to what it was in S1 or S2. For me, the ending held its punch in a contrived way, but that might be an unpopular opinion. There's plenty of fan service that people seem eat up despite sometimes being a bit forced. We also end with some story threads left unfulfilled, ultimately leaving me a bit mixed on this entry. It isn't bad and definitely better than S3, I just don't have a desire to revisit it. I remember after beating the first game I immediately replayed it just to see how different the decisions would play out. As the series progressed the illusion of choice became more apparent and after 4 games in a row this genre/setting becomes tired. If you've already invested in the previous titles you might as well see it through, just wait for a sale.

This is such a masterpiece! This game is rich in story, proper choices amazing gameplay and we got the best ending for Clementine. Also the flashback with Lee was such a heartwarming moment. Amazing work of art by TellTale!

The graphics got a lot better. I like the story and I feel like this season is good closure for Clementine's story. Also, do yourself a favor and pick Louis for Clementine. Violet just gives you an attitude while Louis sings for you. They added collectibles, which adds more replay value too. I hope one day we get a TWD game where AJ is all grown up and the main character...

Good way to end the series. Stayed for the storyline, but have some criticism on the gameplay. The mouse gets super awkward at times. Because I believe they made the game for console and thus, acceleration is needed. But if you play on a computer, and theres acceleration (and inertia) then you would be looking everywhere and walk in circles. One of the most challenging thing in this game for me is to actually walk in a straight line to where I wanted to go. Also combat gets boring because its mostly just pressing buttons. When you do need to play it like an fps, the aiming is simply not sane. Choices dont affect gameplay, just storyline, which subtracts from the fun. Like imagine if you can pick some "bad" options for e.g. better combat performance, etc. idk what but just an idea. Like if youre mean to people some extra options become available, like paragon/renegade from mass effect.

Never will I forget this gaming experience in my entire life. I started with Season 1 as a kid, and now completing everything in The Final Season after finally getting a PC, it’s truly beautiful. The story is stunning, writing flawless and every choice comes with consequences. To me Clem's journey felt real and deeply personal. It was heartbreaking and inspiring watching her grow up and make difficult decisions to transform into a protector. Every choice was made with care alongside each and every moment. So much care is given while tying everthing together in The Final Season. I will not forget the gorgeous art style with the phenomenal voice acting, and then the emotional payoff. I found myself laughing, crying, and sitting in silence during the credits while reflecting on all the moments I spent with these characters. Thank you Skybound and Telltale for making the best emotional game ever.

игру словами не описать, настолько она идеальна. Добавили новые механики и история Клементины самая лучшая. В конце бился в истерике, но игра это лучшее что я проходил!

So I forgot to review the game when I beat it so I'll do it now. This is the best series finale I've seen to a telltale game franchise. It concludes the story in such a beautiful way that had me entranced in the game from start to finish for way over 12 hours straight (I don't remember the actual amount lol). I'd say I recommend this game to everyone who's into the Walking Dead series and telltale games as a whole. And I will say that this is a game that I will cherish for years as the memories were worth it all. Thank you Telltale, for making this masterpiece of a series.

Best possible ending I could want to the series while being just as emotional and beautiful as the first game. The connection you make with the protagonist from the very first game all the way up to this just makes this game so much more beautiful and emotionally impactful

The most irritating and annoying season in the series. If you quit, the damned thing rewinds so much that you have to do half the thing again! Add to that the retarded decision to add unnecessary collectibles and achievements (just climbing on the bandwagon) and you have a game that is tedious and a chore to get through. It is immersion-breaking. Instead of focusing on the story, you're hunting for idiotic crystals and worrying about which dialogue is "friendly" or "romantic, FFS. Bloody irritating. If you've played the previous 3 games you have to play it to finish Clem's story, but as a standalone I cannot recommend it. It's more something you have to get through, rather than something you should get.

best of the whole series lots of hard decisions, but great ending to the series

trying to sprint with a controller is basically impossible

Not to spoil anything... but that was THE CRAZIEST plot twist in HISTORY 😮😮😮 1000/10

The Walking Dead: The Final Season is a heartfelt conclusion to a beloved series, focusing on Clementine's journey. The graphics and animation create an immersive atmosphere, with a unique comic book feel. The season focuses on choices and their consequences, shaping the story and characters' relationships. The character development is fantastic, and the supporting cast adds layers to the narrative. The Walking Dead: The Final Season is a fitting end to a beloved series, offering emotional weight and closure to characters.

I wish I had something more to give you You’ve been feeling bad this time of year If I could I would drive out to see you Things are finally looking up for me this time Take it from me, I’d be lost without you I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster, and I I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around I only hope we make it home Safe and sound Safe and sound If I had a dime, for the days I’ve spent Just trying to unwind, sitting on the steps I’d buy a star in your name, like I heard on the radio I would buy a brand new house, where we can go Take it from me, I’d be lost without you I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster, and I I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around I only hope we make it home Safe and sound Safe and sound If I had one wish, I would give it up To be standing here, just like this, up on the rooftop But it’s so hard to look down, when I see your face There’s no more time to spend, no time to waste Take it from me I’d be lost without you I try to run away, but you’re running up on me faster and I I could barely breathe, I couldn’t even turn around I only hope we make it home Safe and sound Safe and sound Safe and sound Safe and sound love you Clem ♥

it changed way too much since the last seasons. it feels like a triple a game instead of a small indie dev studio doing it for fun

AJ is annoying, bad choices screw you up, good choices still screw you up, story underwhelming, ending was boring, not asking for a happy ending but clem deserved better.

You can tell the final season was released in a really rushed state—it's still buggy during some scenes. But I’m genuinely satisfied with how everything wrapped up :') This series played with my heart way too much!

story is really good but controlls are clonky as fuck

One of the best games and series I've ever had the honor of playing in my life.

i honestly really enjoyed this game type shit way more fun than the 2nd and 3rd games IN MY OPINION

an amazing conclusion to a great series, made me cry till the end. thank you telltale

great so far , but still typical telltale

i’ve never cried this hard over a game dammit. I miss Lee and kenny sooo bad. this game is so girl-dad coded. 100/10

best parenting simulator ever. still not bitten </3

Absolutely beautiful, heartbreaking, eloquent, gut wrenching, tears. Great end to the series!

ahh shit this game was to good , ill play all of the game twd 1 until final, this such a good game .

not the best out of all the games but deff worth it

great game even in 2025, the best game in Telltale.

i think i got like the worst ending and probably shouldnt be a mother

Ahhhhh... It's become a tradition for me to finish each season from the franchise every 2-3 years. Words cannot describe how much this series means to me. I think this season is probably the most raw, personal, and deeply intimate from the entire series, aside from season 1 which will always have a special place in my heart. It's crazy how much Clementine grows from a little helpless girl in Season 1 to a protecter and leader for AJ and her friends in the final season. This season aims to complete her final journey in a satisfying conclusion and I personally think they did an excellent job compared to what we got in season 2 and 3. If you already haven't picked up the entire series, I suggest you get the Definitive series, lock yourself in a dark room with headphones on and play through the entire series (with breaks of course). Welp, back to being hollow and empty for the next few months. Can’t believe this is it for Clementine’s and Lee's story. 12/10. With a badass seal of approval, buy it NOW. Thank you for everything, Telltale and Skybound.

Clem and Aj are the goats This is a masterpiece

Oh, come on!!! Just GIVE US AN ALTERNATIVE ENDING!!! We could really use one, give Clem her leg back okay? She just a teenager, why she have to suffer so many pains?! Isn't an open-ended ending great?! I mean, you give the rights to players to make different choices(Like EP2's ending, that's nice, cuz you can help Clem choose her fate rather than bitten by a damn walker), but we don't want see Clem be bitten, even amputated. It's so suck to make her lose a leg, she can't go adventure anymore!!! Skybond, Telltale, please make a DLC, give her SECOND CHANCE!!!

this game was so stressful i love it

Still not crying it's still the onions

Good final season, sad to see this style of games go
