Newbie directly where ended In Harm's Way, Amid the Ruins chooses knowingly spent his first 10 minutes, taking his time to develop the relationships between the characters, especially through Jane, real vector of personal questions.
Crystallizing all the attention of the player but also revolving around her character, Clementine was freed from its status as a kid bit lost in the space of a memorable finish at episode 3. If it had player left speechless, Telltale nevertheless chooses to make us relive this tension through a "calculated previously" while allowing us finally to discover the rest of this season of The Walking Dead.
