The Walking Dead: A New Frontier

It was nice story, but not the best. Especially last chapter felt rushed. But still I enjoyed playing it.

Damn these games really be reflecting who you really are, either a backstabbing dick, or a human thats being backstabbed

Glad I aint a dick lol

Even though it is a little disappointing that we don't see Clementine's story progress right from the second season, this game introduces us to a new campaign which is also interesting, despite what some of the other reviews say. What we however can agree on is that despite being a good game, it is still thus far the worst season of the three, and that is for the two following reasons:
1. Season two cleverly searched trough your computer to find the choices you've made in the earlier part and set the game's beginning accordingly. Here, you have to do that manually.
2. The quick-time events are incredibly un-challenging, almost up to the extent of us calling them "slow-time events".
Despite these these errors, I still think it's worth a shot, assuming you've got the cash. I rate it 6/10 compared to the other parts.

game is def not as good as the previous twdgs.... but still had fun playing only complaint is the last chapter felt hella rushed and underwhelming

Weak in comparison. I do like the Garcias and especially enjoyed the flashbacks (except the "tell him off" bit ofc) but this game does not feel coherent at times. Characters not responding appropriately to what is happening constantly makes it a bit jarring to play. Also obligatory "I wish Clem was either the main character or not in this game at all" since she does take the spotlight off Javi which sucks. It is pretty short though so just for completion sake still worth the buy.

the weakest entry in the series for multiple reasons (decision inconsistencies, low res skyboxes / backgrounds, why the hell would anyone go against Clem? , but still some good moments. worth it for completion's sake.

I really liked the game, although in some places the story was confusing and the narrative was lost.
An easy game to get 100% of the achievements, all you need is just follow the story.
However, it took me 8 hours to complete all 5 chapters (not too much, not too little). But the problem was that many of the choices were very one-sided. Most of the characters were not remembered at all, they simply did not have time to open up or their thinking did not suit them at all, the most memorable moment from the game is literally the beginning, *spoiler* when Mariana with a smile on her face takes a bullet to the head from the bushes .
Everyone is biased and aggressive towards Clementine, even when there is no obvious reason for it.
btw... The developers made Clementine a secondary character, whose character was built on the basis of the decisions made in the first two seasons.
In the end, even though Clem isn't the main character, the choice is still made in favor of her comfort, because the character is already like family to us, so it's quite possible to kill off all the main characters of the season, as long as she stays alive. The statistics screen at the end of each episode even confirms my point of view to some extent.

Overall it's alright.
It feels the weakest out of all the games so far. Story is out of place, 99% of characters are new and they aren't all that interesting, I felt little to no connection to them and didn't really care whether something bad or good happened to them. Very annoying too. If you want a game with "gameplay" this isn't it, it's an interactable movie, as all Telltale games. It has interesting moments, but bullshit moments as well. If you get it on a massive sale - sure, but you could also watch a playthrough and miss almost nothing from the experience of actually "playing" it.
Also, as for all the games up to now, the achievements for this game are basically non-existent, kinda disappointing... On top of which, Telltale's TWD servers are down, so you have to download specific files and manually install them in your game to see your choices and "% of players" stats. (same for Michonne and S4)
6/10

Boring. Story telling game with shitty story.

It's nice to see Clementine again!

This season is even shorter than the previous one, but I don't mind.

I recommend this game!

A story driven game with a shit story is a shit game, im afraid there is not much else to be said.
Im a QTE hater and thats just about all this game has to offer gameplay wise.

I wanted to take a moment to share my personal experience with a game that has had a lasting impact on me — "The Walking Dead" by Telltale Games
I first played a small free portion of the game back in 2013, and I was immediately captivated by its emotional depth and storytelling. Despite only having access to that limited part of the game at the time, I found myself completely immersed in the characters, the choices, and the powerful narrative that kept me thinking about it for years
Now that I’m older and can finally afford to purchase the complete game, I’ve realized that my initial impression wasn’t just a fleeting moment — this game truly is something special. It’s not just about gameplay, but about the emotions it evokes, the moral dilemmas it presents, and the connections you form with the characters
If you enjoy story-driven games that challenge you emotionally and mentally, I can’t recommend this game enough. It’s an experience that stays with you long after the credits roll
Of course, this is just my personal opinion, but I genuinely believe "The Walking Dead" is more than just a game — it’s a storytelling masterpiece
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope you’ll consider giving the game a try if you haven’t already

wow. hoooooooly cow, this was a ride lemme tell you!!!! so SO SO many great characters in this game, like javi, breakkkkkk me off a piece of THAT kitkat bar amirriiiiteeeeeeeeeeeee? tripp was rhett and i was link, i wish i could've done him over the sink. good. mythical. morning. kate was just a cover for me and tripppppp, aaaaaaaaanddd jesus joins in on the fun sometimes. i meannnn, did you see the way jesus bit his lip at me??? nothing holy about that. but seriously though, this game was fire, buy it now now now!!!!

honestly atp, everything wouldve turned out better if someone just didnt have to act stupid bruh, but ofc theres always have to be one

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is another solid entry in Telltale’s series. It brings back everything you’d expect: emotional storytelling, tough choices, and characters you can’t help but get invested in. This time, the focus shifts to a new protagonist, Javier, while still keeping Clementine in the mix. It’s a nice balance between introducing new faces and building on the story of someone we’ve grown to care about.

The choices feel as heavy as ever, and some of them really make you stop and think. The branching paths and evolving relationships make the story feel personal, which is what these games do best. It also looks better than earlier seasons, with improved visuals and more cinematic moments.

There’s plenty of tension in the action scenes, but the real focus is still on the narrative. My only complaint is that the season feels shorter and maybe a bit simplified compared to the earlier ones, and while the new characters are great, they don’t quite replace the connection I had with Lee and young Clem.

If you’re into story-driven games or loved the previous seasons, this one is definitely worth playing. It might not be perfect, but it’s still a gripping experience that’ll keep you hooked until the end.

Its not worse than Michonne, Ill give it that and has some pulp fiction like tension but is all style and no substance. Clem not being the main character is heresy and the new characters are not fleshed out in the slightest besides the complicated sibling relationship between the brothers. Gabe is a very punchable kid.

Engine is nicer though, smoother walking and action as well more expressive and detailed models. Writing is very on the nose. Only played this for the masterpiece that was season 1 and the good sequel of season 2.

THe puzzle sections are pointless and too easy as well.

Another great walking dead game, enjoyed it, Now on to the next one!

You can easily skip this whole game and still understand whats happening.

TWD: A New Frontier was a gamechanger for the series in nearly every way (negatively and positively). The graphics had a huge overhaul that still mostly felt like Telltale's iconic style, but definitely was modernized to be much more visually advanced than the previous games in the series. I personally really enjoyed the story of Javi, but unfortunately it's really hard to not entirely focus on Clementine's story. She plays a big role in A New Frontier, but something always felt quite lacking to me. I love the characters that we're introduced to, and this game does have very emotional moments that make up for some if its downfalls.. but after playing it I don't feel like it stuck with me nearly as much as the other games in the series.

6.6/10

this game is a masterpiece, one of the many from Telltale games. the walking dead & season two are must plays

Definitely recommend playing in order to continue onto Season 4, however this was by far my least favorite up to now. The characters were relatively unlikable this season. But it moved Clems story further so its all good. Just definitely not my favorite

all attempts to anti-romance kate ends up with broken face anyway.
clem tried to carry through the season solo but it wasn't enough.

love the new character so far, gives new energy

The Walking Dead A New Frontier is a great addition to the series, offering a new perspective focusing on Javier Garcia and his fight to protect his family. The storytelling and character development was still massive, but the game strikes a slightly less sadness than the first two seasons. this game gives it a more hopeful tone despite the heavy themes. However, the visuals could have been better, as the character models and environments feel underwhelming and rushed at most times. You could tell that most of it is just PNG's I know that's what they had to do but they could've made it better. It isn't perfect, A New Frontier is a must play for fans of the series, and I’d rate it a 10/10.

The Worst Season of them all. Gameplay is the same, and the Story is kind of messy. I would say the graphics are obviously better. Making Realistic type of models with Cel-Shading that also includes a Shiny like effect does not make it look good, Season 4 does the exact same thing but without a shiny effect and somehow executes it better.

(You also don't play as Clementine, which I did not like.)

It's pretty meh, some parts are good, others not. You can skip if you're playing through TWD Telltale series, it doesn't really add anything substantial to Clementine's story.

This is easily the weakest entry, though I haven't played the final season yet. It comes with all the most glaring issues of the dialogue options in previous entries. It would be forgivable if the last episode wasn't the worst. So many characters are so unlikable or go from likable to recklessly irrational so quickly that a lot of the dialogue options are not what I would call "difficult" choices. There are a few gut wrenching moments, but they're far outweighed by frustrating moments with irrational people. The one positive is I feel like this is the first time I haven't had a bleakly dark ending in a telltale game. You can tell they wanted this to spin off into another series. They were smart to keep Clem involved in the story, because otherwise people would not have stuck around for this one.

I can't recommend playing this unless you are very invested in TWD tell tale games and Clementine as a character.

Dear beloved, we are here gathered to learn if this game is worth it.
As THE man would deem it, it is worthy of your coin and it transcends all expectations.

The story is not directly involved with the TWD story-line BUT it is in the same universe and nods (by the existence of J man in the game) at the show occurring during the same time period.
The gameplay is perfect (yet a bit clunky when you don't read the gameplay tips), point and click with some points of quick time events that are not so quick to my fellow slow mouse users.

Long live Clementine.

Very underrated game for the amount of hate it got.

Definitely has some lazy writing (whole Tripp and Ava situation where whichever one you save they both die anyway... but that is literally in all previous TWD games.

I will say though, I believe they put more effort into the story and the visuals of this one then previous ones, such as all the things that could happen to Conrad etc.

I do believe the first 2 games were very nice, but this one imo kinda dies away with some of the writing in E4.

E5 (final episode) I believe had good variety of endings, and I loved the flashbacks, what I did not like was how Clem's decision making on who she goes with at the end relies on a very small and ineffective seeming choices. (There is a whole decision tree about this but I wont get into it).

Overall, I believe the game could have been a 10/10 if it didnt have the usual TellTale laziness with the writing.
Either way its definetly not a 4/10 or worse as some make it to be. I'd give it a solid 7.9/10 with huge upside potential if Telltale showed it a little more love.

Definetly play it though :)))

once playing these walking dead game they so well put together and every single one has not failed to amaze me and has just gotten better and better.

A New Frontier brings a lot to the table, and thankfully, it’s not just more undead groaning. This installment dives into new characters and a fresh storyline while still keeping the emotional gut punches that the series is known for. Javier is a great protagonist, and watching his family drama unfold against a backdrop of chaos feels like binging a particularly intense season of a TV show.

But let’s be honest—Clementine steals the show. Watching her grow from the wide-eyed kid we met in Season 1 to the hardened survivor she is now is nothing short of amazing. She’s the perfect mix of badass and heart, and every decision she makes feels like a masterclass in how to survive a zombie apocalypse while keeping your humanity intact (well, mostly). You’ll root for her, cry for her, and probably apologize to her every time one of your choices messes up her plans.

The graphics are polished, the choices feel meaningful (even if the game loves to remind you that someone will remember EVERYTHING), and the action sequences are sharper than a machete to a walker’s skull. While I missed the OG cast at first, the new characters grew on me faster than a zombie infection.

Sure, some choices felt more like 'illusion of choice,' and a few plot twists are easy to spot, but honestly? I was too busy crying over yet another heartbreaking death or Clementine’s latest moment of growth to care. If you love The Walking Dead series or just enjoy emotionally devastating games, A New Frontier is a solid addition to the saga. Just keep tissues nearby.

Definitely the worst one of all the walking dead games,boring new characters,ridiculous drama,conflict between MC and his brother is just a familiar idea. Besides,I bought The walking dead because I WANT TO PLAY AS CLEMENTINE,not a random dude!!!

this game is very good tho i js wanna play as clem im a very simple person and javi isnt THAT bad I really really hate Kate tho

This game has some great story telling but i can tell it was made in a hurry. They should have put more time and effort into it. But still it's a great game
7/10

- The chains snapped.
- For a moment, I stared at my wrists, red and marked with the echoes of captivity, now free. I felt the blood rush through them, warm and alive, as if my body were waking up for the first time.
- Slowly, I raised my arms high above my head, the broken chains falling to the ground in a hollow clatter. The sun caught the metal, its glow refracting like liquid fire. I stood tall, my silhouette cutting against the vivid sky, my hands reaching upward as though I could touch the heavens themselves.
- The warmth of the sun bathed me, its final rays soft against my skin, and for the first time in as long as I could remember, I breathed deeply.
- Freedom, I finally did not cry to the ending of a 'The Walking Dead' game.
100/10 rating for this game.

Feels stretched, especially in Episode 3 and 4. Also some unreasonable behavior of characters in certain situations. It was somewhat entertaining though. Barely a recommendation. Not worth a lot of your money though so wait for a good offer.

7.5/10

Probably the worst main line tell tale walking dead game, but still good over all

Rich and impressive story. I love this series and its comic books style!!

his game keeps up the emotional storytelling and great characters the series is known for. it’s not as strong as the other seasons, but the story’s solid, the choices are engaging, and the comic-book visuals really add to the vibe. yeah, some parts feel rushed and a few characters could’ve gotten more focus, but it’s still a really good addition and worth playing if you’re a fan.

Overall enjoyed the game. Same gameplay as other Telltale games - basically interactive movie. 7/10

• I enjoyed the new characters, solid personalities being explored.
  
• I enjoyed the overall story of the game.
  
• I enjoyed the smaller stories unfolding each episode.
  
• I disliked certain side characters' decision making, a few times they felt forced for the plot. Ex: Running into gun fire across the open.
  
• A few times I made a choice based on the short description of the choice, and the outcome was not what I was expecting. Spoiler: I want to tell him off for being an asshole, not tell him off by saying his wife wants to leave him?!? What the actual fuck
  
[*]Sometimes there was clear decisions / things to say that just were not options to do so. Spoiler: I want to convenience the crowd that X is a bad person to gain support, but I don't get the chance to bring up the destroyed neighbouring communities?

Javi is a great protagonist, I really enjoyed his character. This game has some pretty good choices too. It's a nice story and a fun game.

amazing gameplay and storyline. love to see clem continue to grow. cant wait for season 4!

👍 𝘽𝙪𝙚𝙣 𝙟𝙪𝙚𝙜𝙤... (𝙨𝙞 𝙟𝙪𝙜𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙨 2) - 【６／１０】

I mean, it's not bad. It's just not as great as the other games. I thought Joan made for a terrific antagonist, I thought it had good story beats, I thought the dynamic between Javi and David was really interesting. I didn't like Tripp very much, he didn't seem bad but his character was underdeveloped, I think the same goes for the rest of the characters, tbh. It's the same length as the other games but you just don't feel as connected to the characters or story.

It's really just an awkward middle point in the series, I feel like

It honestly wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. I went in to the game expecting absolute crap but it had a lot of moments that I genuinely enjoyed.
Can't really point out a generally bad thing except for Clementine's bad haircut towards the end.
And Gabe. Yeah.

Otherwise 7/10
Give it a shot, don't go by other peoples opinions

Season 3 is the one where it hits the lowest out of the bunch. I didn't like some of the characters nor cared about them at all. The story was okay-ish. Building up to how Clementine acts in Season 4 was a neat thing to see as well.

I know Telltale was going through a bad point while they were making this and it shows too, but I wish they would've stopped and think more on the season rather than making something that feels rushed.

I loved the character Javi, it was a fresh take and a new perspective. I was going fresh and no knowledge of how the third season will be. I though I would play Clementine for s2, s3, and s4 but I though wrong for this season. I loved it. I love seeing Clementine and her decisions because I saw her grow from that person. What a season. I'm only in Episode 3 and I'm loving it. I don't know what to do with Kate.

omg...these graphics are such an improvement from the previous games. the dialogue is so amazing and i love how many different endings you can get, whether thats at the very end or at the end of each episode. this game is truly filled with so much story and emotion. 10/10 and i cant wait to play the next one!!

I enjoyed the game as it shows improvement in gameplay from the previous games. I found it interesting to see another character, viewing another perspective other than clemintine's POV. Javier's story was intriguing to me as well.

Definetly the weakest out of all four games. Which doesn't mean that it's bad, far from it. Javi's a great protagonist and Clem is amazing as always, but i do think that they could've done way more with her. The episodes do also feel a bit on the shorter side. Apart from that, it's still a good game.
