The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - The Complete Third Season Reviews
A New Frontier doesn't disappoint. In season two we could see the rise of bad-ass Clem. In this season she shows what she really can. Javier was at first a strange choice for a second main character, but developers did prove us that she knew what they did. This is action packed season that finally answers a few questions from the past.

It took me a long time to get back around to finishing off The Walking Dead: A New Frontier for full review, and, honestly, it’s because I knew exactly what it was going to be like. TWD games from Telltale these days are the same as all their other titles of this “hybrid” genre. Literally, their designs are all the same with different skins; it’s boring, and they’ve been somehow getting away with it for five years now. A New Frontier is no different, and it’s disappointing as I’ve really enjoyed the Walking Dead games up to this point. However, considering the lack of direction with the narrative, and the generally unlikeable cast present in this series, it’s clear that the well of ideas for Telltale to draw from is running dry. If you’re a fan of the series, you’ll probably want to play it in prep for the final season. Otherwise, this is nothing special. Perhaps it’s a good thing that the next season of TWD is the final one from Telltale.
TWD Season 3 may end up being the best thing Telltale have ever done
A New Frontier mixes up the popular dynamic established in seasons one and two. But the introduction of the García family is a risk that pays off and Javier’s empathy and love for his family made for a protagonist I loved just as much as Lee in season one and Clementine in season two. Although the connection between season two and three is relatively weak, season three explores themes that are rarely found in videogames. Bottom line, A New Frontier feels fresh, tense and innovative. The most memorable season yet.
With a strong focus on dialogues and character interaction, great voice acting and slightly improved visuals, A New Frontier continues Telltale's The Walking Dead in an enjoyable fashion.

The Walking Dead: A New Frontier isn't a bad game despite the fact it's becoming less of a game and more of a passive movie. If you're a TWD fan, the third season has earned a spot in your collection

The strong choice-based interactive narrative, clever writing, comic-grungy art style, and haunting/setting-and-situation-appropriate music culminate in a masterpiece of a season worth every penny of the admission fee. Every choice and the consequences they have on each character, particularly Clementine, is laid out to players at the end of the season finale in a beautiful tribute to those lost, those still alive, and those still needing to be found that should not be missed. Telltale has truly embarked on a new frontier in the gaming industry with this remarkable third season.
