Players find this season the weakest in the series but still worth playing for Clementine's story. [1][2][3] The new protagonist Javier is generally liked, though some miss Clementine as the main focus. [4][5][6] Opinions are mixed on the writing and side characters, with some praising the drama and others criticizing inconsistency. [7][8][9]

When I played Michonne, it seemed like the moment the series transitioned from creativity to milking. This game confirmed the suspicion. A New Frontier is a product with a huge identity crisis, trying to be several things at once and failing to achieve any of them. And while it’s not atrocious, the product doesn’t deserve a thumbs up IMO. The very fundamentals of the game scream a developer disconnect from the …

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 Clementine's story.

It's unfortunate to say, but the writing in this game has got to be the weakest amongst all TWD seasons. Yes, I read the news about how the main writers quit and the writing was outsourced. The side characters in this game are incredibly one dimensional and their behaviors flip-flop very often. One moment they are nice towards you, then suddenly they are antagonizing you, and then they are nice towards you again. …

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 actually liked stepping away from Clementine for once. Following Javier gives the series a fresh angle instead of repeating the same story beats. The decisions are emotional, sometimes brutal, and …

It's not as good as the first two seasons, but it's okay, still playable.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Walking Dead: A New Frontier takes a different approach to the story. Instead of focusing mainly on Clementine, this season introduces a new protagonist, Javier, and tells a more standalone story set in the same world. Clementine is still present, but she’s no longer the central character. While you mostly play as a new character, the game includes playable segments with Clementine that show what she’s been through and how she changed over time. To continue Clementine’s story as the main…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is some great stuff right here, they added new protagonist and made is work. The drama was peak. great plots and new characters. I really liked the way they told this story here. I feel like lot of players will misunderstood david but i sided with him throughout the game and had no problem. he is kinda like kenny. overall 4.5/5 tight tight tight
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You're conclusion isn't wrong but you're giving it credit for the wrong things. All of those elements were present in games that came long before, TLOU was just a lot more marketable. The story-first approach made you feel in control of a zombie movie during peak zombie mania. You just binged The Walking Dead, what if you could *play* an episode... In that sense, you're right that its success opened up a whole new market that we all benefit from. I knew so many people whose game libraries…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 start. I chose Jane because she was a cool character and Kenny got crazy and imagine my disappointment when devs just got rid of her. Absolutely baffling decision. - Cheap soap opera level of story. Just too much…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →pretty good! not as good as the other two. was a little dissapointed that you dont play as clem in this game, though Javi was a good enough protag. clem was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool in this game haha, def the highlight. i just think personally that the side characters didnt do it for me in this game, especially after the peak group in s2. anyways, hope clem is the protag in the final season, looking forward to it
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Mixed feelings about this season, it wasn`t as bad as the 2nd in terms of choices being unimportant but it felt kind of off, almost as a spin off(length and name choice also makes me think this). You don`t control Clementine, I would say she`s not even the main character in this one. And her story isn`t even all that affected here, she goes through whole season looking for someone only to never find them, so might as well skip this and just look at the summary. Some deaths felt forced, others…

The writing is easily its biggest problem: nearly every character, including the one you play as, is so poorly written and unlikeable that, at times, you just want them all to die so the whole thing can finally be over. The only real positive I can give this season is that, compared to the first two seasons, each episode is roughly half as long. Normally, that might be a negative, but in this case, it was actually…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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 definitely worth experiencing it to continue the story. Telltales world of the Walking Dead is very engaging and enjoyable to play through.

The decisions are emotional, sometimes brutal, and absolutely worth experiencing just to see how you’d handle it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The story mostly follows Javier and a new cast. We don't get to play as Clementine, which is a little disappointing, but she still has important moments. The choices affect how characters respond and the story unfolds, and there are some really intense and emotional moments. The game balances action and story well, and you end up caring about the new characters and their fate.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Telltale’s The Walking Dead: A New Frontier introduces a new protagonist while still weaving Clementine’s ongoing story into the narrative, creating a fresh yet familiar experience. The season shows noticeable improvements in visuals and pacing, making the episodes feel more polished overall. However, despite these upgrades, I still find the previous season’s story more compelling and emotionally resonant. Even so, A New Frontier remains a solid addition to the series.
