    Given where Episode 2 leaves us, I am truly looking forward to see where A New Frontier goes. Javier is a charming character with a deep backstory, and they way his family is introduced throughout the past and present leads to an immediate investment in his future. Add in some shady actions on Clementine’s part, as well as the overwhelming desire to keep her around, and I feel that TWD is back on the right track. Telltale continues to impress.

    A New Frontier does Telltale’s The Walking Dead series justice, giving the ending that fans have been asking for.

    It's frustrating to see Telltale simultaneously at its best, and also just repeating itself. [Sept 2017, p.81]

    Whilst A New Frontier doesn’t do anything differently with the gameplay, the story has always been The Walking Dead’s strength and, in this area at least, season three may provide the reversal of fortune that Telltale need.

    An exciting adventure with interesting characters, but the recipe has been used to death at this point.

    Where the season will end up is a question that even developers have no answer for. Media that was shown at E3 has no relation to released product; Clem’s voice actress mentioned that this episode’s story kept being rewritten on the fly, and work on the next one hasn’t even began. What’s even worse is that this special magic which made people fall in love with first season is nowhere to be found in A New Frontier: Telltale no longer delivers unique experiences; every new project seems to be made from the same mold.

    A boring, dumb, predictable game. You can’t find worse qualities in a game that’s all about choices and consequences.

Personajes en su mayoria desechables, los flashback de Clementine de calidad cuestionable y aunque tiene muy buenos momentos estos no estan constituidos por una escritura tan solida como los dos episodios anteriores.
    De hecho la mejor relacion del juego, David y Javier (hermanos); despues de ser la relacion mas solida y mejor desarrollada de todo el juego, su conclusion de los dos personajes es anticlimatica en casi todos los finales y deja un mal sabor de boca el fina que le dan a David.    … Expand

    Unintelligent. It hurts to write, but that's the one word feeling appropriate when comparing this third season to the prior.

    It's one    Unintelligent. It hurts to write, but that's the one word feeling appropriate when comparing this third season to the prior.

    It's one cliché after the other, forced dialogue and one-dimensional characters. Hence it lacks all the heart that made Walking Dead season one and two such masterpieces. Even though it's the best yet in terms of aesthetics, Telltale must have assigned a new team of writers and director for this third season. It now feels, I'm sad to say, like an ugly walking dead they shouldn't have allowed to attack us like this.

    Poor Clem...    … Expand

But, season 3 just felt unnecessary. The game should've just followed Clementine as the main main character instead of Javier. I mean all the decisions were easily for me to be bias in support of Clementine so it didn't feel difficult since we know Clementine's heart. It just felt unnecessary to see Javier's story.… Expand
