While the people whose lives didn't revolve around waiting for the next episode of the final chapter in Clementine's story (yes, they exist) went about their daily routines unaffected, fans of the game - which had seen the first episode of the final season released less than a month ago to much anticipation - were left heartbroken upon hearing of Telltale's sudden closure. All planned projects were scrapped, and The Final Season was assumed to be in limbo. Enter Skybound.
Taking charge, the game was finished up by Skybound Entertainment, and I am so glad everything worked out the way it did - it would have been crushing to see this story not have the conclusion it deserved.
Playing the game was a special experience - knowing this was probably the last time I'd be seeing Clementine in a Telltale game. As such, I cherished every single moment of it - be it an overly-familiar mini-game or action sequence. It will make you forget your opinion on the necessity of A New Frontier - and successfully evoke feelings you likely felt during the first season.
If you've consistently played all the Telltale games right from the first season, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the polish this one boasts in terms of graphics. Near-perfect comic-book style visuals here.
The story is really gripping - I had my suspicions about how it would end (as would you, if you've played the first season, cough-cough) - but believe me, there's so much more to it than that. You can't miss The Final Season if you've been with Clementine through the years - it's the perfect send-off for a beloved character.
There probably won't be any new musings here (that go unread by anyone but me, it seems; I don't really count, though, do I?) for a while, as exams approach.
