Amid The Ruins marks the fourth episode in Telltale?s second season offering of The Walking Dead, and it?s easily the best episode of the season. Coming off of one hellacious cliffhanger with episode 3, that might not come as much of a surprise. But the tension and drama for Clementine?s newly adopted group of companions doesn?t stop with the explosive departure from Carver?s camp, as the group is given little time to get their bearings before even more tragedy strikes. Again, considering the game, it might not be that surprising that things look bleak for Clementine, but that knowledge doesn?t lessen the blows delivered by this round of storytelling.
There?s actually so many memorable moments packed into this episode that it makes it nearly impossible to write this review, outside of saying that I really, really enjoyed. As to why, or what specifically worked for me, going into much detail is really going to ruin the experience. What I can say is that while this season hasn?t necessarily felt slow, this episode makes you feel as if the training wheels have been kicked off, and the brake lines have been severed. While the overall length of this entry doesn?t seem to be any longer than previous chapters, it really feels like Telltale has packed a lot of story into this episode. It?s very light on interactive, explorative moments, but the action bits keep you entertained, and the developments will have you on the edge of your seat.
