Telltale has created a game true to the heart of the show and almost equally disappointing to experience. The plot is illogical and full of holes; the characters frequently pull random 180s; their actions have no motivation; and nothing good ever happens – the lone theme is "if you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention". The story's sole strength is its modelling ability of how not to write a story.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is no better. The heart of the gameplay is the "choice" system, but the choices are never organic. Situations are horribly contrived to force in a choice, but it's clear your choice will hold no meaning. Your characters discover an ambush and you must choose a strategy to counter it? Fear not! You character will walk blindly into the ambush completely unaware no matter what you do! The game offers little gameplay beyond this, except an endless series of dreadful quicktime events.

The final episode was (fortunately) incredibly short and offered no resolution to anything, but a series of cliffhangers for season 2. But it's hard to find a reason to care what happens to any of the characters. The story's complete drivel and the game just isn't fun.
