The Walking Dead: The Game - Season 3

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.

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.

Just played the game and first of all it is not a masterpiece like season 1, but in my opinion it's better then season two and I actually got to care about a lot of the characters. Worth playing if you have played the last two seasons. If you have not played the previous seasons, then do yourself a favor and play season 1 :))

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.

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.
