We're on episode three of five now and the story is climbing the rising action mountain in typical zombie apocalypse fashion: People die. Spirits break. Minds melt. It's difficult to write a cohesive review with this level of spoiler-inherent drama, and it's even harder with Telltale's individualized gameplay mechanics. Each decision can lead a player down a unique path, and with all the choices combined it feels as if no two people will play precisely the same plot.

I could very well review a different story here from the one you play, but the game itself is cohesive across all potential plot lines, in mechanics, direction, writing and design. Regardless of how anyone travels through The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead, it's apparent that this is a solid - and gruesome - game.

Walking Dead Episode 3 Long Road Ahead hits 'very soon'
The Walking Dead Episode 3: Long Road Ahead finds Lee and the gang in a familiar location - and no, it's not another farm. After holing up at the motel, the group is forced to move out of Macon, a feat that presents a new set of problems and a ton of fresh zombies. Figuratively fresh, that is.

The above video teases the drama, gore and (gasp!) sexual tension of the third episode. If we may be so bold, we suggest watching it to at least the 1:17 mark.

Long Road Ahead is set to drop "very soon," Telltale's Job Stauffer posts on Facebook, along with the following image of Lee battling a pilot zombie.
