The Walking Dead: A New Frontier

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

I know many fans have mixed feelings about this season, but I personally found it a lot of fun. I liked Javier and hope that they work more with his character some more in the future.

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.

We were expecting that this game will continue its journey through the clementine's perspective but perspective was through Javier' family from some another part of the world. But this was also necessary, we have a idea now how other people may be survived , what was the first reaction? And all

The best part was when Javier met clementine and old days were back.😁

First disappointment is the control in this chapter. Sounds weird but you have too much freedom so there are more opportunities to experience bugs and goofy scenes. I have also missed the more comic-looking design. And the button smashing is boring as heck, the mouse usage had creater more suspense (remember the time Lee had to shot the first walker with the shotgun) and you have needed some skill.

About the story, had its good twists, were some hard dilemmas throughout the game. Also some new characters like Kate, Max, Dr. Lingard are perfect, Javi is also sympatic. Good idea to put Clementine as a supporting character this way we could truly feel how strong and experienced she is (like in MGS 2: Sons of Liberty). BUT in the previous chapters months or even years passed, this way we could believe why are the characters are in such a close relationship. Here, only a couple days have passed and the Garcias act like Clementine and Tripp are part of their family, typical Hollywood storytelling. Imagine if Lee and Clem would have spent a week together. Maybe her whole personality would not be determined by her patron. Although I won't forget New Frontier that it gave me the opportunity to say goodbye to Kenny, and tell him I've loved him, I am honestly grateful.

Overally still a good game, a good story from the WD universe, not AS good as previous seasons.
