Review of the video game The Walking Dead: The Final Season by Telltale Games.
Clementine is finally reunited with AJ, the boy she has sworn to take care of. However, raising a child in a zombie apocalypse comes with many challenges. Where will she find enough food to keep them both healthy and strong? And will she teach him solely to survive, or also to live?
