“A New Frontier hits harder with its choices, leaning into messy family drama on top of the apocalypse. Trying to keep a broken family together while dodging walkers makes everything feel more real and grounded. I…”
“The Walking Dead: A New Frontier doesn't quite reach the highs of the previous two seasons but I enjoyed Javier as a character as well as his families story. There are some memorable moments throughout and it's…”
“I loved this game and the story but I wish we played as Clementine because this was a significant period of time in her life after season two and we only get short flashbacks of what happened.”

“I guess they wanted to try something new with this one. I enjoyed my time when playing through this one. Definitely the weakest out of the main four games but still an important game to play if you want to continue…”

“Better in graphics and controls but the main character Javi is kinda mid, cast is also boring and they underutilised Clementine in this game so badly imo.”
“The Walking Dead: A New Frontier provides a spin and a different point of view to its two predecessors by us not playing as the main protagonist throughout the entire game being Clementine. Instead, you play most of the…”
“It's the best story in the series up to this point, still have to play the final chapter. This one introduces new main characters, and Clementine is just a supporting cast. Otherwise it is the same formula as all the…”

“it isn't the best game in the series but absolutely worth a shot”
“Once in a lifetime experience. Every choice, no matter how small or seemingly trivial, matters because it shapes your character and creates a ripple effect on your future. Small details like when Kate and Javier’s…”
“I love storie games where you have to make choices. Gameplay is simple and sometimes I don't really like the controls. But other than that more than worth it.”

“2nd chapter episode 1 and theres already an evil white man as the villain starting to notice a pattern with their "storytelling"”

“Starts off very strong and I really enjoyed getting to know Javi, but the story falls apart quickly. I could get over this, but the thing I really disliked about this game is that the choices you pick most times do not…”
“There is something that is particularly upsetting about this third rendition of The Walking Dead, not even particularly because they take you away from Clementine's story, but because you are forced to watch a character…”
“It's OK as far as TWD universe games go. As usual, walkers go from sneaky to loud and slow to fast depending on what the story needs at a moment. It has the usual hard choices and decent storytelling.”

“I wish there was more of this, I really love Telltale games and its shame they went bankrupt when there are lots of shtty devs out there still floating”
“was a pretty good game i love the character still but it was a little shorter than other games”
“En definitiva la entrega mas débil de la saga principal, si jugaste los 2 primeros juegos y estas considerando comprar las siguientes 2 entregas, te debo de decir que si bien Clem si hace una aparicion en este juego y…”

— a player, Steam review · 7 hrs played“Easily the weakest one of the bunch. Some SPOILERS ahead Pros: - Prettier graphics - Javi himself is okay character - Cool cameo of Jesus from original comics - Clementine (in 20% of a game) Cons: - Killing off unceremoniously either Jane or Kenny from previous game from the…”
