The idea to move the characters from location to location so fast seems to be a reaction to criticism of the television show and comic books, which both take an absurd amount of time to leave a specific location. Lots of people die and the ones you expect to survive survive. It took me roughly 2 hours to complete, but in that time we saw the return of the New Frontier as they attacked and desimated Javi and company’s new found home. The episode moves at a breakneck speed from there out. It’s a really great moment for the series, especially after reflecting upon the shocking ending (which we’ll get to). Kate’s stuck somewhere between, with apparent feelings for both brothers. The scene paints David as a strict post-military ass-hole, and Javi as the younger, kinder brother who is in love with his brother’s wife. David clearly has some anger issues, and he’s a man of discipline and action. The flashback also serves to further illustrate the animosity between Javi and his brother – and Kate’s husband – David. I was forced replay the first episode of The Walking Dead Season 3 after turning this feature off.Įpisode 2 opens with a flashback, and looks to further establish the relationship between Javi and his sister-in-law Kate. I checked on my save for Minecraft Story Mode and Batman and sure enough, I had the same issues with those as well. My assumption is that this is created so you can move saves from one console generation to the next without having to worry about losing progress, but it’s becoming more of a problem than anything. Keep in mind, these are not Steam Cloud saves, but rather Telltale’s proprietary save system. Everything I had done had been erased due to some sort of error communicating with the cloud saves.

And with my moving on to episode 2, I hit my first major snag. However, I noted previously that if I encountered serious bugs or technical issues, I would note them as soon as they sprung up. The camera angles feel more like a movie than ever before, and that, again, lends to it feeling more and more like a Hollywood production. It’s a much prettier, and thus more cinematic, experience. The series is still good, and heading in the right direction.

Since nothing technically has changed from one episode to another, this spoiler-free section will be much shorter than the last.

The first part would focus on the bigger picture and the more technical aspects. I stated in my last review that I would structure these reviews differently than most reviews. This will delve into spoilers for episode two pretty quickly. Note: It’s highly recommended you read the first episode’s review if you have not yet played the series, or have not decided to purchase yet.
