What would he do if Clementine were to not be around any longer? Has her training and guidance been enough to turn him into a self-reliant, but still empathetic, survivor in this new world full of dangers? The big moments here attempt to mirror the first season, with youngster AJ taking up the position of Clementine. Narratively, it doesn’t offer up anything new, with Clementine and the other survivors attempting to get back home to Ericson’s Boarding School and facing problems along the way. Whereas the third episode pulled out all the stops with a bombastic smash-and-grab that was full of twists and turns, it’s fair to say that Take Us Back is a little more straightforward in its approach. With Take Us Back, The Final Season feels a little more introspective. Even the less loved A New Frontier found a satisfying conclusion at the end of the day, resolving its themes of family and loyalty in a neat, albeit action-heavy, package. The Walking Dead has had its flaws over the years, but it has always been able to deliver when it comes to the last episode of each season, from the gut-wrenching finale of its debut to the vicious, sparse moments of its second season ending. That said, this last episode does lack a little something. There’s an attempt to provoke a strong emotional reaction, and at times it succeeds. This final episode is full of the same kind of dramatic moments that have been the bread-and-butter of The Walking Dead so far, brimming with tough decisions and moments of individual peril.

Telltale’s dramatic implosion last year and the ensuing fallout over its treatment of staff suggested that there was no way back for its most well-known series, but Skybound Entertainment swooped in to resurrect The Walking Dead. That this last episode, called Take Us Back, exists at all is something of a turn-up. Now, against all odds, Clementine’s story is coming to a close with the final part of The Walking Dead: The Final Season. A triumph of video game storytelling, immediately players became enraptured by its take on the adventure genre and a devotion to creating deep, believable characters - most of all the young Clementine. In 2012, Telltale Games created a piece of gaming history through the release of the first season of The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead: The Final Season reaches its last episode, and provides a neat if not entirely satisfying conclusion to Clementine's story.
