Pros:

Really delivers on that trademark Walking Dead dread, Intense storyline that builds to a cliffhanger conclusion, Superb dialogue and voice acting, Satisfyingly brings together a number of dangling plot threads
Story is still interesting, Strong characters

Cons:

A little formulaic and predictable, Not much action, especially when it comes to battling the undead
There were a few technical issues, engine is really showing signs of age, Choices feel like they don't matter, More filler this time around
