Sarah has clearly been scared from the events that recently transpired and it's up to you how you want to deal with her, if at all. In the Episode Three you started to see the difference of how each of these characters deal with the situations their put in, specifically how Clementine and Sarah react to situations. Not many games can pull that off in an organic and believable way, but they seem to every single episode. When Kenny gets mad, you believe it and it actually made me react emotionally, regretting my decisions to cause him to hurt. Melissa Hutchison (Clementine) and Gavin Hammon (Kenny) seem to work amazingly together and have easily become my favorite voice actors due to the quality of their craft. The reason this friction works between the two is without a doubt because of the amazing quality of the voice actors portraying these characters. You know when you got in trouble as a kid and instead of your parents getting mad at you they simply gave you the "we're disappointed' line? That's the feeling I got dealing with the issues between Kenny and Clementine in this episode, regardless of how many times I tried to apologize or explain myself. Due to choices made in this season, the relationship between these two will be put to the test, and this actually caused me turmoil. Since Lee is gone, I've since aligned myself with Kenny, almost as a father figure (for Clementine) because of our history together. When Season 1 favorite, Kenny, returned in Episode Two of this season, I was more than ecstatic, that I actually jumped up and said "Oh my GOD, YES!". From the beginning moments of Amid the Ruins, it sets a tone for the rest of the two hour session all the way to the final episode cliffhanger that Telltale seems to take enjoyment of torturing us with. In true Walking Dead fashion, your one moment of glimmering hope that something might work out in your favor is quickly extinguished and you're faced with the grim reality that Clementine must grow up in. The final major decision you made in Episode Three plays out and you see the consequence of your decision one that truly hurt me to see how it affected others. Continuing exactly where Episode Three: In Harm's Way left off, Amid the Ruins thrusts you into the open area where the group recently escaped from Carver's camp, trying to sneak through the zombie infested field but having many of the Clementine's group split up for safety. SPOILER ALERT (from previous episodes), as I won't talk about events in this episode very much but will have to about previous ones for context. Maybe this is purposeful and maybe I'm simply learning to deal with it better much like Clementine, but for some of the larger events that unfold in this episode, it simply doesn't feel like it has the same meaning as it previously did. You still need to make some incredibly important and fast decisions that will weigh heavy on your conscience, but some of the events that unfold didn't feel like it had the same impact as previous episodes. Most people's lives usually have a few key defining moments, though it seems Telltale is able to make this happen seemingly every episode, Amid the Ruins being no different.Īmid the Ruins has these moments that we've come to expect, with loss of people at the most inopportune times, but something feels different in this episode. In Episode 4: Amid the Ruins, this constant stays strong and unfortunate situations will be sad for her and the group, but ultimately make her stronger. She's had to grow up incredibly quickly and in unfortunate circumstances. Even though she may still be a young girl, in a way it feels as if she's the one that takes care of the group and keeps things together. Now that she's lost many important people in her life and the main focal character in Season Two, it almost seems dangerous for her to get close with people, as they don't tend to always stay around for long. Each episode of this season's The Walking Dead has had some very big emotional moments for me, making me question myself if I've done the right thing or not as Clementine given the impossible situations that she's thrust into.Įven in Season One when you weren't playing as Clementine, but Lee instead, The Walking Dead was still telling her story. Not simply in the sense of telling an interesting narrative well, but making you truly care about the characters and really having to lull over each decision, as they turn out to be very important for the characters relationships and story going forward. Telltale really has perfected the art of storytelling.
