The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - The Complete Third Season Reviews
I don't know if Telltale has lost their magic or if their adherence to this formula has just worn thin on me, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to get excited at the prospect of playing another episode. The halcyon days of season one are long gone.
The Walking Dead: A New Frontier starts powerful and shows a lot of potential but lack of interaction, limitation of gameplay and repetitive situations, makes it all seem pointless

In its final two episodes the season falls back on the worst habits and tropes of The Walking Dead. People begin to act completely out of their established character, or make monumentally stupid decisions, simply for the sake of a “shocking” plot twist or to keep the story moving.
Cliche after cliche and shameless expoitation of the series' popularity – this is how i can sum up third season of The Walking Dead.

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.

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.
I do not regret my time with A New Frontier, but the emotional core at the center of the series seems rotten. There are seeds of greatness here, but A New Frontier never gave them the necessary time to grow.
