The only thing is that companies need to stop doing these "Choose your own adventure" games until they're capable of programming drastically different scenarios for you choices. It's still stuck in having places where characters are able to die or not, but it doesn't really matter because that just tells you they will die later on when the game couldn't deal with having them there or not.
The previous season ended with Clem able to make 4 radically different choices. Yeah, those don't matter either. Even though it's obvious what they did to "fix" this so the only difference would be what sort of injury she'd have I'll keep quiet to avoid spoilers.
I noticed this when I played the first season. Most choices come down to who do you want to see die later. If you have a choice of having someone die and you save them, they will either die or leave the group in a later episode (or the same episode in the case I think everything in episode 2). There are some minute details that don't get changed later on, but you can just guess which ones those are, and then those are just to make you feel bad in the last episode.
Thant being said, I really like these games. They could do a lot better at changing the game with the choices you make (aside from one character stealing something from you and cutting a limb off of someone), but I kinda get where they are coming from. You don't want the game to be too different for each player that it makes makeing the other episodes hard to connect together.
