    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.

    una tercera parte complicada en la que sobrellevaron de manera valiente una historia que sabian que a todos no les iba a agradar, A Newuna tercera parte complicada en la que sobrellevaron de manera valiente una historia que sabian que a todos no les iba a agradar, A New Frontier llega a ser una tercera parte que con mucho esfuerzo logra que sientas empatia por algun personaje que no sea javi y clementine (obviamente). Historia Buena (rayando en lo regular) y desarrollo de personajes igual, es una pena que no volvieran a mostrar o mencionar a javi en la temporada 4.… Expand

    Hugely disappointed! Shallow story, boring main character, lazy graphics/animations. They've probably reused the same walker for like 20Hugely disappointed! Shallow story, boring main character, lazy graphics/animations. They've probably reused the same walker for like 20 scenes. In a game just about the choices you make and the story, they sure did a bad job in literally every department. For a game that has really basic gameplay mechanics, this is really disappointing. Barely anything that makes me want to keep on playing.

    Telltale has lost it, or they just don't care about their player base. They have forgotten why we liked them, which mostly comes down to the incredible writing and the choices that take a critical part in the experience.    … Expand

    Una secuela/ spin off que presenta ideas interesantes, pero nunca llegan a desarrollarse. Personajes en su mayoria desechables, los flashbackUna secuela/ spin off que presenta ideas interesantes, pero nunca llegan a desarrollarse. 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
