We see her story through the eyes of Javier, a young man determined to find the family taken from him, and via playable flashbacks from Clem's past telling the story of how she came to be on a quest for vengeance.

    It's a strong season that manages to tell a gripping story and offers plenty of dangling threads to keep you invested. [Aug 2017, p.86]

    A New Frontier won't be the best Walking Dead Season, but it sure has perfect writing, awesome characters and Clementine makes a come back.

    Telltale stays loyal to its roots to the last consequence. Although it offers some new characters, the truth is not all of them are as charismatic and the franchise isn't yet on par with the first season. Even so, A New Frontier will delight the usual Telltale fan, taking no risks in gameplay mechanics but making every choice meaningful during the final moments of the five chapters.

    The Walking Dead: A New Frontier may not always bring fresh ideas to the table, but what it does bring contains a lot of heart and charm. The cast is incredibly diverse, giving the spotlight to a Latino-centric cast but containing characters from different backgrounds and walks of life. Although some characters are inconsistently written, they all manage to be compelling enough that together, they create some of the most interesting moments without needing the help of Clementine. Clementine herself has established in A New Frontier that she is more than worthy of being one of gaming's most beloved female characters, displaying a growth and complexity that few female characters in the past have been allowed to have. With the series finale releasing next year, I hope Telltale Games pushes the boundaries of what she and the series itself can do and be.

    The Walking Dead’s third season finale does what it has to do to tick all the expected boxes, and while not as high as the series has been, it’s still more than solid.

    The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has a good opening and it introduces a new protagonist in a cool way. Unfortunately the story keeps getting worse, the characters more irritating and the grand finale is an utter disappointment. This series needs a dramatic overhaul - here you'll find only a handful of memorable moments and lots of mediocrity.

    While I enjoyed this game very much, the "unavoidable events" that happen here just hurt.
    You know that no matter what you do, some things will happen, which were fine in the first two games, after a lot of tragedy you'd like to have at least the possibility to "save" some things and people.
    It is however the harsh reality in the world this game is set in.
    I still enjoyed this a lot.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game on its own is pretty solid however when compared to the other seasons it’s hot garbage. You spend the entire game being a cuck. Clementine in this season is very good however and it’s clear telltale spent a lot of time on developing her character. Forgettable characters, lazy writing and all round blandness of this game makes it one of the worst additions to the walking dead series.… Expand

    One of the things that made me like The Walking Dead Season 2    I have not finished this game yet, but from what i've seen, this game is bad.
    One of the things that made me like The Walking Dead Season 2 is that you directly continue as Clementine, which you've seen since the beginning of Season 1, however, We have never seen this Javier guy, it seems Telltale wanted you to not be Clementine twice, so they just made this random character, which looks VERY generic, may i add.
    The more realistic graphics arent really what i wanted from a game inspired by a comic (I do not really care about graphics in videogames, unlike some other people), I mean it technically looks better, but it doesnt feel like a Telltale: The Walking Dead game, even using the same format.
    4/10, would not recommend.    … Expand

But the fact that there was a lot of dead air periods, put me off. It doesn’t help that the flashbacks overstayed their welcome. I believe it was a mistake not having clementine the playable character. Telltale wasn’t able to match Javier up to Lee’s or Clementine’s level of likability. Which in all fairness it is incredibly tough to pull off such a feat. Introducing an entirely new character as the main protagonist, while the previous main protagonist is still in the game is incredibly risky. In order for the game to be just as great as the previous, the new mc needs to prove to be on the same level as the previous mc at minimum, due to the fans previous bias’s. RDR2 is the perfect example, Marston (RDR’s MC) was in the game but was not the MC this time around. Instead it was some stranger named Arthur Morgan. Fans went in thinking who the hell is this guy, into… Expand
