The Walking Dead: A New Frontier - Episode 3 - Above the Law Reviews
It'll be curious to see where the next episode of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier goes from here. The retread of similar plotlines from both the comic and TV show feels stale in Above the Law, even with the slight twist regarding the new characters. At the same time, the character development balances that out, and they remain as engaging as before. The last two episodes will determine if the season can pull through, but for now, prepare for some rehash.
Above The Law is a solid third episode for a strong season, and I can’t wait to see where Telltale Games takes the series for the final two episodes of the series. I’m having a great time, and I can’t wait to try the next episode. Season 1 might still be my favorite, but Season 3 is definitely getting there.
Overall, the Walking Dead continues to deliver a great and compelling story and that it had me following it from start to end. As we move to the penultimate episode, I am excited to see where this all leads up to and what will ultimately happen to this new town and the people we have come to love.
The amount of twists and turns within the episode keeps you interested throughout the majority of its playtime, especially thanks to Clem’s flashbacks.
Out of the initial three episodes in this new series, Above the Law was easily my favorite. It is a much meatier installment, both in terms of episode length and the types of challenges Javi will face. The first couple of chapters left me somewhat uncertain, but now? After Above the Law I am ready for more.
Episode Three Above the Law is one of the most well paced episodes yet throughout the entire series and for this season, even though it may have lacked a little shock factor,
I don’t know how they did it and how they continue to do it, but Telltale has done a heck of a job keeping this story engaging despite the fact that there really isn’t even much to do in this episode. For the most part, the episode is littered with dialog and all it’s really doing is shaping Javi’s character.
Above the Law presents some very difficult choices that can lead to grave impacts on your particular journey through Telltale's latest take on The Walking Dead. It's well worth playing if you're already invested in the series, but also if you're considering picking up the Season Pass.
Above the Law was a strong episode bringing the series back into that zone which I thoroughly enjoy.
