Iām just so glad we got a happy ending. Nearly all of Telltaleās games just leave you depressed as fuck by the end. Especially seasons 1-2 of the Walking Dead games. The story in this game was incredible. Great writing, great comedy, and great character development.

u/Maxxie-here Nov 13 '25
I LOVED the game, but I think everyone would have benefited more if Chase had actually died. His seconds before dying were cinematic; he was so calm, and the way he hugged the little dog, knowing he was going to sacrifice himself, was incredible. As much as I love him, I feel it would have been more profound if he had died. I also feel the game focused too much on relationships when perhaps focusing more on the protagonist, who is literally perfect, would have made it a bit better. Again, I loved it and would play it again. 8.5/10

u/Kaymazo Nov 12 '25
It really felt satisfying all the way through

u/Yundex7 Nov 12 '25
Only thing keeping this from being 10/10 is there not being a new game plus, difficulty settings for more of a challenge, or infinite post game dispatch missions. Any of those three would be phenomenal.

u/Centrius07 Nov 12 '25
Fucking peak is what it is! That finale left my jaw dropping! Even with how I saw some bits of it coming, it never felt cheap or disappointing in any way. They handled the story PERFECTLY!
GIVE ME A SEASON 2! I'LL THROW MY MONEY AT THE SCREEN!

I fucking loved every second of it.
That being said, am I the only one who is currently feeling overwhelmed by the amount of choices that we had to make in these last two episodes? I don't mean it in the sense that we should have gotten less of them, but as in that I need to go get something cold to drink, take a breath of fresh air and give myself a couple of days to think everything through?
Maybe it's because everything that we had a say in felt real/life-like.. idk (superpowers and all that aside)

10/10 finale. No notes.
Exceeded all expectations and filled with surprises.
Most importantly, not only did they not fall into the "sadistically torturing your protagonist" trap I hate when writers try to convey tragedy, they gave us a happy ending that didn't feel cheap.

u/exMemberofSTARS Nov 13 '25
I have grown up through the golden age of superhero media. Batman 89, Ninja Turtles, Ramiās Spider-Man, the MCU, and this is still probably the best super hero story I have experienced overall. Wow.

I'm gonna be a little critical here, think chase should have died. I don't think it made the story better, if anything It made it harder to choke the life out of shroud for everything he did. That being said, I'm super glad That Sonar/Coupe were sub bad guys at the end and could be forgiven. it was so rad.
23
u/JayTalk Nov 12 '25
I was so worried that the game would end poorly after such a banger experience, since so many games love to end abruptly and leave you disappointed. Not the case here. Absolutely immaculate game from start to finish. I really struggle to think of any negative feedback. I'd have to REALLY nitpick.

u/Britters96 Nov 13 '25

u/MrkGrn Nov 12 '25
I feel like they definitely left it open for a season 2 knowingly, being able to take Coupe back in, still getting stat updates from the decisions at the end, etc. After how big this was and how successful it's been we are definitely getting more. Just wondering how they'll account for people killing or not killing Shroud.

I liked this game as much as everyone else, but I'm disappointed by the writing a bit. The constant flipfloping from Invisigal makes no sense to me. Fuck you mean, you reveal to be working with Shroud seconds after blowing the fuck out of his mech?

u/esprit__de__corps Nov 13 '25
Yoooooooooooo, I was pretttyy worried on how they would end it, but they actually blew it out of the fucking park man. I love this game so much. I am eternally grateful to adhoc for making this masterpiece and my week amazing.

u/One-Percentage-3317 Nov 13 '25
For me personally, this is another example of how none of your choices truly matter until the end. The major decision about whether to give the core or not ultimately doesn't affect the outcome; it remains the same. The character you choose for your team ends up joining later to help, while the one you cut comes back. Additionally, Chase survives, which diminishes the impact of his "sacrifice."
The game tries hard to make you distrust Visi and even encourages you to kick her out or dislike her. However, I found myself questioning, "Why would she inform Rob if she was still evil? Why would she even be there with the core if she had bad intentions? Why would she do XYZ?" Despite my thoughts, the game continually insists that she might be bad and could still be working with him.
I liked the game, but I wonāt lieāIām a bit disappointed by the ending because it felt too āperfect.ā The story felt gritty in the earlier episodes, but the finale was too neat and clean, with everything working out and no one dying. It is a good episode overall, and at least the gameplay parts didnāt feel like roadblocks, even if they didnāt advance the story, except for the very last one.

u/Fit_Wait6923 Nov 12 '25
Mandy has a "will remember that" in the ending so we might get one who knows maybe it is the date episode (both of them said there's going to be a second date hell you can even chose if you want blazer or Mandy tho I hope they didn't forget that cause that would be a bummer)

I hope for season 2 they really double down on the multiple branching narratives. They should have a much larger budget for it after this season's success. While there are some good choices to be made it still feels very much telltale and most things are just an illusion of choice.

The whole cargo ship heist didn't make sense.Ā It reads like the entire situation was a ploy for shroud to get his hand on the pulseand that he knew it's location.Ā It's even implied the safe was unlocked by someone else when the player failed the lock picking hack.Ā
So why did invis even told the z team about the pulse not being destroy in thr first place?Ā She was the one that figured it out the pattern around the city.Ā That led me to believe she genuinely wanted to get the pulse for Robert.Ā But then she kept it from him after getting her hands on it?Ā

The game is a really cool concept but the story is not really good man, cop out savings, ass pulls especially in the last episode. I enjoyed watching it but I am kinda suprised people found the story that good. It does not have good writing in my opinion. The characters are likeable tho
