The level of exploration in the game is next to none”
Spot on, that is a huge minus for me, S1 was so great in all aspects, with a lot of exploration, interaction, and conversation. A real adventure game true to its roots.

The flashbacks were one of the things I hated in ANF. Not only because of how they were handled especially regarding Clem but written as well. Though, there is one Javi flashback I genuinely enjoy. The domino one manages to be a flashback that I don't groan at while sitting through. Even though David is as annoying as ever, I really like the dad in this scene. His accepting manner is depressing but understandable and realistic; I really feel like ANF is missing characters like these.

Choices in this season is a whole thing to unbox, to be honest. The fact that literally everyone no matter the situation sided with Clementine whenever there was a dispute, showed the incompetence of the writers, and their inability to make Clem seem stupid enough to where we could actually not side with her.
Wait for a second, they did! She shot someone while trying to prove a stupid point and showed no emotional remorse for him! Then she had barely any consequences for her rash actions, and was back on the road in no time! But you know, that's the only way they could make us hate her or at least dislike her; and they still couldn't.
Characters are just blatantly stupid there's no question there.

As for the major characters, I don't even know who the deuteragonist is supposed to be in ANF. I assume they were going for Kate, but the season honestly just flip-flops around so I don't know what they even wanted to do. Gabe is talked about enough, so I feel like my opinion would just be that on repeat.

S3 was just an interactive movie with nothing else to do
Not gonna lie, I didn’t care for it. I loved season 1 and enjoyed 2, but this one completely missed the mark for me. It's definitely the weakest game in the series.
