If you're a fan of player choice and actual outcomes, you're going to love how Season 2 ends up, because nearly all of your decisions so far actually impact the finale. Whereas in the first season I felt like many choices were futile.

A major factor in Season 1's story telling was the incredible suspension of disbelief that the writers managed to pull. Even though the group did some ridiculous things at some points, the characters always had proper motivations and believable logic behind their decisions, and as a result I was always so engrossed in the ride that it never struck me as odd.

In Season 2, lots of plot points and happenings seemed to happen just to create drama or enforce action. It turned me from an emotionally invested Lee in Season 1 to a cold, pragmatic Clementine in Season 2 - not because I got into the role of a hardened Clementine, but because everyone in the group was so irrational and stupid that it was all up to me to save the bunch of clowns from not dying miserable Telltale deaths.

I don't think it was as good as season 1, but still very good. Great gameplay, good (and annoying) characters, and it had me strongly emotionally invested. There was a moment I won't spoil to you, that brought me to tears just like THAT moment in season 1. Multiple actually.
