Worst Chapters:

I refuse to talk about chapter 2. Chapter 6 and 8, however... the two with the most missed potential.

Chapter 6 could've been great, but the killer was so obvious it didn't matter much. What's interesting is that one of the youtubers volunteered to be the killer, but Telltale refused. Another thing I didn't like about chapter 6 is how unrealistic their reaction is to the situation they're in; no body gave a damn about Torque's death yet they showed more sympathy to the one who murdered their friends, Dan leaving the group to stay alone knowing there's a serial killer on the loose, Cassie somehow predicting Jesse's arrival, and how the group would immediately trust Jesse. Realistically, Jesse's group would've been extremely suspicious in that situation since the youtubers have a history together so they'd default to pointing the finger at Jesse.

Chapter 8 wasn't bad... just underwhelming, the concept is great, but the execution wasn't the best. The whole 1:30:00 format for the DLCs clearly hurt this chapter the most since there wasn't enough time to fit all the ideas together: The maltreatment of the contestants, the Old Builders, The nature of the games, Tim, the arc where Emelies backstab you (typical reality tv-esque drama), and the gladiators... it feels like they just skimmed through them since there wasn't much time to explore each detail in-depth.
