The Walking Dead: The Game - Season 3

Even thought clementine not the main protagonist at least the story still good. even some time the story don't make sense

I can't stand The Walking Dead television series, I think it's one of the most overrated shows of the last decade and is more of a soap opera than a true zombie survival show.

Being a Telltale fan and a huge zombie obsessive I naturally gave the Telltale Walking Dead Season 1 a go and was happy to see that it distanced itself from the show.

I was captivated from the outset, it was so powerful, so well written, so heart wrenching and the character development was so good it was as if Stephen King himself had written it.

Still to this day I would say the first season would be in my top 25 video games of all time. The sequel was also great though not on par, powerful, emotional and devastating (And that ending!)

Hearing about Clementines return I was nervous, Telltale is merciless and will kill any character at any moment and since Clem wasn't our lead I feared the worst.

The story follows a family broken apart by the zombie apocalypse, lies & more drama than the average Walking Dead episode. Clementine is just along for the ride, further grown up and more bad ass than ever.

Walking Dead Season 3 has the emotional depth of the first two, is hard to play at an emotional level but once again delivers on every front. It also sets up the 4th and I'd imagine final game which will be Clementines swan song.

I'm so very glad they have continued this and made it a franchise, these games are so good. Many complain they are more interactive movies than games, my argument is quite frankly who cares? This season is essential for fans of the series especially those who are following Clementines journey.

You may miss Lee, Kenny, Duck and others who have fallen along the way but this chapter will bring more to the table and continue Telltales Walking Dead legacy.

The Good:

Lots of potential outcomes (More than usual)

Great characters

Brilliantly written

Clementine

More devastatingly emotional decisions and events

The Bad:

Quite a few graphical glitches

Several crashes

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is a pretty solid game. It mostly lives up to the elite status of a Telltale game, but is generally one of the weaker Telltale games.

The ending analysis screen is incredibly well crafted. Unlike other Telltale games, the analysis is highly detailed, resulting in an interesting point of view on player decisions. The player decisions genuinely feel like they make an impact on the game, resulting in many possible endings as detailed in the closing credits. Many endings are possible, and many different moral issues are explored, such as the protagonist questioning his loyalty towards his brother, when he begins to develop romantic feelings towards his brother's wife, and whether he should act on said feelings. By including the ability for the player to interact with the game like this, makes for a more intimate playing experience, which makes the player have the ability to truly craft the game's story.

However, this game isn't quite as good as Season 1 or 2 of the Walking Dead. The story is very well written, hence it's 8/10 rating, but it doesn't quite offer the emotional blow that the 2 aformentioned games deliver. Javier is a relatable character, who feels very real, and yet he just isn't as well written as Kenny, Lee or Clementine, causing the player to view Javier as simply forgettable. When thinking about the Telltale games in retrospect, most players would agree that season 1 and 2 are masterpieces, and are able to view and recite the game like a work of art. The Final Frontier in comparison just feels like another video game.

To conclude, The Final Frontier isn't a bad game in itself. It's enjoyable, has an interesting story with a somewhat satisfying ending, which makes for a good playing experience. However, it isn't the best Telltale game, and there's certainly other Telltale games which rank better than The Final Frontier.

After all those emotional endings to season 2 it was literally impossible to follow it up in a satisfying way so what they did is that they ended those choices that we did in a very cheap and undeserving way, specifically if you choose eather jane or kenny... (also they looked horrible compare to season two)

it almost feels like a spin off compare to previous seasons, the emotions are absolutely gone and it's more about the action this time around and the episodes ends so quick that it doesn't let the characters to breath a little bit, it's really short.

i think they really should have continued clementine's story and not that garcia's are all bad characters, actually the main character javier is a really good and likeable protagonist but this was clementine's story after all.

The story that keeps on giving, season 3 on Telltale's The Walking Dead is a huge win. Instead of controlling Clementine like you did with the last season, you now control a new character named Javier who has plenty on family drama to work out.

I like how this game seemed like it wanted to explore new relationships between people, and giving you the reigns to figure out what kind of guy Javier is, you basically pick and choose which members of your family your closest too. For me, I ended up getting closest to Kate, not because "oh their relationship is so cute" I just thought my brother was a complete ass, and ya know, you can't force someone to love someone. Plus, I mean, she was nice, and Javier seemed really attracted to her, so it made sense. Gabe and I had a more rocky, but stable relationship, as he thinks he is a grownup who can make grownup decisions and didn't like me disagreeing with him. I think he got mad at me at one point because I wanted to leave my brother in Richmond, but he forgave me eventually. And of course Clementine; man, I love seeing her getting older, and being just a straight up badass; she definitely has changed since season 1 (and even 2). But yeah, me and her relationship was tough-knotted, so you already know I had to kill Conrad and Lingard which in turns makes people hate you. It was worth it; Conrad was literally putting guns to kids heads and threatening to kill them, and Lingard... well.... He wanted to die peacefully, so I did that for some info exchange. In the end, me, Kate, and Gabe made it out alive. Sadly, my brother left with Gabe, but when Clementine comes back for them, we find out he got infected and Gabe had to kill him. It was a little rough, but we had a small funeral, so it wasn't bad. And now, with Clementine knowing the location to AJ's whereabouts, she decided to leave our newly-built Richmond to find him. And my god, I cannot wait. With the next season being the final season, it's a bittersweet feeling knowing Clementines story is almost finished. This season did everything it needed to to give Clementine the perfect start to a final last adventure. To people who enjoy the walking dead, or story based games, definitely check this one out.
