Also back is the new Crowd Play option that lets you share your game session with others and lets them vote on dialogue options. The audio is also exceptional with a talented voice cast and some amazing surround sound audio that turns a 2D game into a 3D interactive experience.Īs always the game builds off the choices you make and key decisions are documented for post-game analysis and comparison with the world and your friends. There wasn’t a single hiccup or crash in the three hours I played.

On the PC the lip-sync was flawless as was my entire experience with the first two installments of the season. The character designs are amazing and you can actually see emotions in the expressions. Telltale has tweaked their engine so the graphics are even better than before while maintaining that distinctive cel-shaded style. There are so many surprises and plot twists and depending on your choices you’ll also get to see some shocking flashbacks to what Clem was dealing with those years on her own.

There is even a surprised character from the comics and TV series that joins the party by the end of Part 2. Clem steals every scene and sequence she’s in to the point where the game loses a bit of its appeal when she’s absent.Īs expected there are numerous new characters we get to meet, but I recommend not getting terribly attached to any of them because…well, this is The Walking Dead. The way she has matured as a character is absolute perfection molded into the young, yet formidable young warrior by both the choices I made and those beneficial survival tips from Lee. What shocked me most was that going into this game I was all anxious to find out about Clem that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed before she actually made her first triumphant appearance. This is pretty much the crest of the 2-3 hour rollercoaster ride that is about to ensue because once this game gets started it seldom lets up. The various relationship dynamics are quickly outlined with some more engaging story and dialogue before we get to the first of several action/adventure sequences when Javier pulls over to search a seemingly abandoned junkyard for supplies. This is just the first of many flashbacks that are expertly used to fill in the gaps of the missing years since we last saw Clem as well as useful backstory for the Javier and Kate, who we next see driving down a lonesome highway with David’s kids, Gabe and Mariana…but no Dave. But family squabbles turn to survival when grandpa doesn’t want to stay dead. There is some immediate family tension communicated through brilliant storytelling and conversation prompts as well as hints of a secret attraction between Javier and David’s wife, Kate. Javier is an ex-baseball player, banned from the league for illegal gambling who is rushing home to be at his dying grandpa’s bedside. While Lee and Clem were sharing their first treehouse encounter we get to meet Javier, his brother David, and the rest of the Garcia family. I’m sure most gamers were expecting to start off as Clem and immediately catchup, but instead we are taken back to zero day when the zombie virus began. In many ways The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is more reboot than sequel.
Not only will this directly influence key events and playable flashbacks, it also serves as a nice refresher for those who haven’t played this series since 2014.
Personally, I had to opt for the “Recreate” option where I was asked ten pertinent questions that covered key events from the first two games.
Even so, A New Frontier will build off your choices from the previous games if you’re a packrat and still have those files on your system. While Season 2 was more of a direct continuation from the first, many years have gone by since we last saw Clem and a lot has changed. After two years we finally get our third season of Telltale’s Walking Dead adventure game, and I have to admit, this latest installment kicks off with a bang and looks like it will easily live up to our expectations.
