The value story

It has never been cheaper than $1.99. That was October 2025. Its cuts run 75 percent off as a rule. There have been 44 in the 8 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. The math puts its BANGER price at $11.04. The record reaches that level 40 times.

Value puts it in the top 3 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 91 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games closest to it, The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries ($14.99, scores 38) and The Walking Dead: Season Two ($14.99, scores 59) both come in lower.

77 from critics against 95 percent from players, and the player number comes from people who own the game.

This site sampled 799 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 3 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written April 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 76 percent of the 533 reviews written there were positive, against 95 percent overall, and those are 3 percent of everything written about it.

At 9.9 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

A heartbreaking conclusion to an incredible journey. At its core, this final season delivers a deeply emotional and devastating story centered on Clementine and AJ. Watching these two kids being forced to grow up way too fast and fight to survive against all odds is truly gripping. The bond between them carries the entire narrative and provides the emotional weight the series deserves. While the illusion of choice...

SPOILER ALERT!!! Clementine did not die despite being bitten, that's all I have to say. None of your decisions matter by the end of the game, even when she was CLEARLY dead. This is just ridiculous, and it contradicts every single thing this saga taught us. I will never forgive the developers for being this coward to give the best character in this saga a proper end. Please, if you have some respect for this saga...
