The Walking Dead: The Game - Season 3

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

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.

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.😁

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

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.
