+ The art is gorgeous. Easily Telltale's best looking game yet.

- It's also their most linear. The urgency that the camera ushers you along the one path makes The Walking Dead seem open ended.

+ You start off right away beating the shit out of the type A guy, instead of enduring hours of his confrontational bullshit like TWD.

- These quick time events are beating the hell out of my Q key.

- Falls victim to Bioware syndrome where it's constantly offering you dialog choices, 90% of which are meaningless. Choose one option, and it'll automatically go with the one that advances the conversation the way the story wants. Why give me the option in the first place, assholes?

- A trend that needs to fucking die yesterday: timed dialog responses.

- They took away the option to disable story notifications. What the shit? You have the option of inverting Y controls for an adventure game (what the fuck?), but not disable the immersion-breaking feature in a game that's 95% atmosphere and only serves to make the linearity and meaninglessness of the dialog choices stand out more? Oh, that response is important? Now I know it'll be showing up later. Surprise, how does it work?
