While it’s not a huge blow to the overall quality of the title, it’s still worth noticing, as one would hope that there wouldn’t be a degradation in the quality as the episodes rolled on. Unlike the first episode, which was basically devoid of any bugs what so ever, I noticed a handful of graphical glitches of things flickering in the background when they shouldn’t be, and a few animations behaving a tad bit awkwardly. There is also the token action scene, which plays out more or less the way we’re all familiar with, and while they are less common in episode two, their infrequent nature did not bother me much since I didn’t find them all that essential in the first place. Still, I applaud the folks at TellTale for their curve ball, and ask that they keep them coming, as there’s nothing I delight in more than being fooled by an interesting mystery with depth to spare. I can safely say that my jaws were on the floor within the first ten minutes, as a shocking revelation is made that twisted my previous train of thoughts into an unsavory pretzel of dead ends.
I’m sure I speak for basically everyone when I say that I was left at the edge of my seat during the closing moments of episode one, and it has been a long wait to see just exactly what would happen next.
The plot picks off after episode 1’s shocking cliffhanger.
