Still 90 minutes. Only this time, I didn't care.
That was an incredible episode. Edge of my seat the whole time. The action scenes were well done. The choices from the season were acknowledged in a very surprising way. There are even branching paths within the episode itself that are taken care of very well by Tetllale. When I finished playing, I was emotionally satisfied. I wanted more, yes, but I was content. It was a brilliant ending. Was it short? Yeah, but it didn't feel like it was short at the expense of the story.
See Telltale, that is how all of your episodes should be. Don't worry about running time. Just tell a complete story. More often than not, in your recent episodes I have felt like the endings have been abrupt or the episode overall rushed. TWD S2E1 was well paced, but cut off right in the middle of the action, as I was getting into the episode. TWD S2E3 was well paced for the first half, but felt overly rushed to me in the second half and again had an abrupt ending.
Of these '90 minute' episodes, only A House Divided and Cry Wolf have left me satisfied. And I did feel that A House Divided could have had more character development in it.
Stop worrying about running time and instead tell the stories like they're meant to be told. Cry Wolf was outstanding. Here's hoping that the next 2 episodes of TWD are of this caliber. Keep it up Telltale!

90 minutes? I wish haha.
It was more like just over an hour to be fair. The episode was fantastic nonetheless.
Best way of describing it yes, and I finished it in 75 mins.
I recorded it and will upload it to YouTube.
It took me 1 hour and 8 minutes total, but I didn't really care. It was AMAZING.
