If, like me, you've been a little critical of recent Telltale games for their lack of gameplay and formulaic design choices - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with this one. Here are some of the big changes. 1) You actually control Clem and move around the environment! This is a big deal! There is much less of that "auto-pilot" sensation that other recent games have had. 2) The graphics. I think they are a LOT better than A New Frontier. A lot grittier and more fitting to the storyline. Telltale has been trying for years to get that authentic "comic book" feel. This is a big step in the right direction. 3) The pause screen has the original music! That was so nice! 4) The combat. Gone are the quicktime events. (Sort of.) It not nearly so staged as it used to be. **SPOILER** [If you remember at the end of the first The Walking Dead when Lee was cutting through the walkers to get to Clem...} Thats kind of what the new combat is like. **//SPOILER** The writing and voice acting are both excellent so far. I have one nitpick so far. There is a small bit of lag after each interaction. You look at an object, the "cutscene" ends... Then there is a moment where you're stuck. It lasts for a second or two. A little obnoxious, but not that big of a deal. This game is a great leap forward for Telltale. A redemption of the brand. I'm very excited for the rest of the season!
