My review of Episode 3: In Harm's Way
I decided that I would write up a review for this episode. Remember, this is all opinion based, and please be kind about my review. I have nothing against criticism, but all I ask is just don't be mean. Thanks!
Story: I enjoyed the story of this episode very much. The idea of becoming a prisoner and having to work was very interesting, and it was executed well. However, this episode kind of lacked in emotional crisis, but that's okay. I have a feeling that next episode will be very emotional.
Gameplay: There wasn't much gameplay in this episode, which was a bit disappointing, but the little gameplay there was was enjoyable! However, Telltale had a few opportunities where they could have incorporated gameplay in the episode. Like when your supposed to trim the Berry bushes. If you did your own work, you could have trimmed your bush, but if you decided to help Sarah, then you could have taught her how to trim the bush. It troubles me that I couldn't click A on the dead limbs and B on the berries, or something like that. Point is, they could have put gameplay in this scene, but they didn't.
Characters: I enjoyed the characters a good bit in this episode. Kenny was still his aggressive self, which was good because Kenny is supposed to be...well, aggressive! I like how they introduced Jane into the game, and I think she will play a big part in the rest of the season.
Even though Alvin was determinate, he was put into the game well, and I was happy of that. However, speaking of determinate characters, I often forgot that Nick was even there. He only had a few lines, which didn't help much. It irrittates me that Telltale didn't incorporate Nick in the episode more than they did.
Length: The episode was, on average, 90 minutes, which is a bit short, but the dialogue and characters make up for this. I feel that the episode could have been much better if they had made it a little longer.
Overall: This episode was the best one this season, in my opinion. However, better character development, more gameplay, and a longer conpletion time would have made the episode the best one in the series. 8/10 is the score I give this episode.
Thanks everyone for reading! :)

Although this opinion maybe unpopular ( never been bothered about that ) I was pleased that it was Kenny that finished off Carver. For me, it couldn't have been anybody else.
Also, I enjoyed the dialogue about Lee and then Kenny's reaction. Nice little nod to the past there.
All in all this latest offering of The Walking Dead was riveting for me, and I hope it continues to be so.
