Since I’m playing thru this game for the 3rd time this year (this time on PS3) I thought hey why not review each episode one by one. Pretty good idea eh. So this episode is interesting 2 me because, like a lot of first episodes or seasons in tv it’s got a lot of stuff that doesn’t reappear, because its trying to figure out its footing. This episode is walking dead in its fullest point and clickiness. A majority of this episode takes place in a pharmacy where you have one goal and there’s an unorthodox way of getting to it involving a tv remote, a fire axe, a banana peel, monkey skeleton, and 15 gigatons of dynamite. This puzzle is so long that they give you a break halfway through so you can go somewhere else and do a faster and more actiony puzzle. These types of sections are basically nowhere to be seen in forthcoming and upcoming and incoming telltales and while I understand why, (noob zoomer gamers af L go play god of bore you noob let the intellectual Redditeurs like me solve the puzzle) I feel like stuff like this really helps the pacing and let’s you get to know the characters better. Because remember what happened before the pharmacy.. boom car crash boom escape boom farm attack boom now you’re here. Pretty stressful series of events eh. Almost feels like a zombie apocalypse out here. How about we chill out a bit so I can give Clem a granola bar. Now I’m stuck in a room with these new people might as well get to know them. Oh shit since the writing is so good I now care about these characters that I didn’t care about 10 minutes ago. See????? Was that so hard. I love you season 2 but maybe you should put a pharmacy in the Home Depot that would’ve been great. Anyways this is elkmane the king of gaming the king of backloggd saying good morning and have a fun day of badass
