Time Spent:

The Bottom Line:
"Immersive"
This episodic series has really blew me away for many reasons, I really want too make this review as spoiler free as I possibly can. So I won't go into too much depth. This episode is well worth the two month wait.

Graphics – 8

Positive : The game follows the style of the comics, it's very stylish, Colourful and has some attractive environmental textures. It just works.

Negative: Certain players may be put of by the style.
.
Sound – 10

Positive: The voice acting is incredible and the music is on a similar level. The music adds to the tension, really adds to interactions with characters that help create moments of pure beauty/emotion and creates atmosphere throughout the game.

Negative: A certain characters audio isn't in sync with the movement of her mouth during a certain scene .Only problem that stood out. Being picky I know.

Game-play – 7

Positive : For the most part it's just what you would want from an adventure game you point, you click and something happens.

Negative : The movement can be a little clunky and the camera can be a bit too restrictive at certain points.

Overall – 8.5

Positives : , More adventure – game elements, Moral choices that get you thinking, Provides moments of awe.

Negatives : Some minor frame-rate issues, Uneven pacing.



Episode 3 Begins with lead character Lee Everett and Kenny looking for medical supplies in a familiar drug store. Which is either a friendly situation with Kenny or an awkward one based on the choices you made in the previous two episodes. In classic Walking Dead fashion it goes from slow paced, just a conversation to mayhem within minutes. Forcing you too make a decision.

Back at the motel Lee and Clementine' s relationship grows stronger. While relationships within the group start to diminish even further. Tensions are high, paranoia is creeping in on the survivors and rivals are still at each others throats. With Kenny wanting to leave the motel for Savannah on the coast to find a boat. While Lily wants to stick with what is working at the motel.
As if the fear of being eating alive, hunger setting in and tensions boiling wasn't enough. Lily believes they have a traitor in the group, stealing vital medical supplies for unknown reasons.

Circumstance' s occur that forces our friendly group of survivors to jump into Kenny' s RV and head presumably for the Atlantic. It's a Long Road Ahead.
