As with other games in The Walking Dead series, The Final Season is a graphic adventure game, where the player controls the protagonist Clementine as she struggles to survive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse.
The player can move Clementine around the environment to examine items, initiate conversation trees with non-player characters, and progress in the game. Players who have not played previous seasons, or who may want to adjust choices made affecting Clementine’s character, will be able to use a web-based Story Builder tool.
PLAYING: Graphic adventure.
In portions of the game, the player will be required to react to quick time events in action-driven scenes such as escaping from a “walker” (Zombie). Failure to complete the events typically results in the death of Clementine or another key character, requiring the player to retry the event.
