The Walking Dead: Season Two Review (RED27)
A Deeply Emotional Experience That Stayed With Me!
Season 2 was hard to put into words. I got emotional and was touched by the characters, and if my memory got wiped tomorrow, I would replay this franchise all over again!
I played Season 2 just a day after finishing Season 1, but my full enjoyment came later. It all clicked at the ending, and when it did, it overwhelmed me. I didn’t cry at the end of Season 1, didn’t fully process Lee’s goodbye, but when Season 2 ended, everything I had bottled up came pouring out. It was soul-touching.
The music was incredible, especially the sad melody carried over from Season 1. It triggered a strong sense of nostalgia, which is wild considering I had just played the first game the day before. That speaks to how powerful the experience is.
Telltale improved the size and diversity of the cast, though not every character was handled well. Some, like Sarah, Arvo, and Jane, felt weak in writing or development. But the return of Kenny made up for that. His comeback changed everything for me. He brought emotional weight, history, and tension that elevated Season 2.
The final episode shattered me. I got the Kenny and Wellington ending, and that final scene broke me. Kenny is flawed, emotional, but deeply selfless. He makes mistakes but owns them. His love for the people he calls family runs deep, and I resonated with him more than I ever expected. Turning on him never felt like a real option. He is one of Clementine’s last connections to Lee, and that meant everything.
Season 2 helped me release all the emotions I never fully processed from Season 1. I am so thankful for this franchise. I may be late to it, but I’m glad I found it when i did. The best time to play this series was yesterday, the second best is today. Buy it on sale and let it move you too.
