The Walking Dead: The Game - Season 3

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 :))

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.😁

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.

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 (2016)' is a sequel/spin-off to Telltale's first two 'Walking Dead' titles. It puts you in the shoes of a new protagonist called Javier and relegates series regular Clementine to an NPC. It's a bit of an odd one within the wider series because it doesn't relate to the other titles in an especially meaningful way, even though it shows us some of what Clem has been up to since we left her at the end of 'The Walking Dead: Season 2 (2013)' and briefly alludes to what she'll get up to after the events of this title. Still, that doesn't mean its narrative is bad. It's as compelling and well-written as you'd expect from the storytelling studio. It's interesting to view Clem from a different perspective, too. With plenty of shocking moments, impactful decisions and well-rounded characters, the game keeps you engaged throughout its relatively short campaign. It's built around a conversation system and a series of quick-time action scenes, with brief segments in which you actually control the movement of your character and can explore your surroundings. It works surprisingly well, as it always has, feeling like an interactive story rather than a restricted game. Of course, there are ways to do similar choice-based storytelling within titles that have more substantial gameplay ('The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (2015)', for example). However, the piece never feels constrained in a meaningful way; for what it is, it works very well. The game does have its issues, though. Firstly, there are a number of graphical glitches (such as unloaded textures) and game-breaking bugs. The thing locked up on me twice, with the second time requiring a complete system restart to solve. Secondly, the title often undercuts your major choices to the point that it actually becomes frustrating. Instead of allowing for branching paths, most big moments are simply interrupted before their consequences can unfold. At times, this leads to an unintentional sense of helplessness and it sometimes makes retrospection a rather sour experience. It isn't the best - or, perhaps, most elegant - way to make sure the plot hits the beats it needs to. Having said that, though, there are some choices that do clearly have an impact on the overall affair. The game will play out pretty much the same way regardless of your actions, but the characters you're with and your relationship to them will change depending on what you do. There are several endings, too, which vary from one another relatively significantly. Plus, the game is great at making you feel like what you do matters, even if it usually doesn't. You can't control the narrative, as such, but you can sculpt it to the point that it feels as though it belongs to you. It doesn't achieve this illusion as well as some of its peers, but it achieves it nevertheless. Ultimately, although this is almost certainly the weakest game in Telltale's 'Walking Dead' series, it's an engaging and entertaining time throughout. It's gripping, exciting and enjoyable. 8/10.
