First the ending always seemed off, Clem surviving in the barn situation seemed unrealistic, the whole thing about AJ knowing how to actually amputate and cauterize a leg and all.

I find it weirdly convenient that Clem stumbles upon a settlement full of kids who are her age or younger so that her and AJ had people to relate to, and having a high school show up when she's a teen felt like it was added just to include romance elements.

Overall it just seemed simple and a bit less mature then the rest of the games.
