But The Walking Dead’s QTEs have always been its least interesting aspect all that time spent dodging zombies is time that could be better spent on dialogue and plot. Combat is more streamlined and faster-paced than in Season One. This episode has a greater emphasis on action, but luckily, Telltale has taken some of the refinements it made in another of its adventure series, The Wolf Among Us, and applied them here. One section where Clem sneaks through a house could’ve been a great, nail-biting stealth sequence, but once you realize you’re in no danger from the house’s inhabitants, it becomes more tedious than tense. Telltale has seemingly thrown the notion of puzzles out the window. While this will be fine with many people, others will miss the lack of traditional gameplay. The Walking Dead is more interactive fiction than actual game. I have faith, however, that Telltale has big things planned for Clementine and her new group in the coming months. But you get little time to get to know these newcomers in between All That Remain’s many action sequences, and the emotional investment just isn’t there - yet. But most of the characters you spent time getting to know in Season One are absent for various reasons, and a new batch of survivors have taken their place. It has some callbacks, including one notably melancholy scene where you can decide to divulge Clem’s past.
So far, the choices you make in Season One seem to have little effect on All That Remains. It’s a little disappointing that Telltale hasn’t given players the option to pick their own choices going into Season Two, leaving anyone who lost their earlier saves for whatever reason out in the cold. If you didn’t, the choices are randomly assigned. If you played Season One, you can carry over your save file and the choices you made to the second season. Season One’s choices don’t have a major impact … yet
