I have been playing games for more than 15 years and I never had such a fulfilling experience than this game provides: superb sound and music, challenging/thoughtful (but not frustrating) gameplay, outstanding lore, vivid world... not even to mention the marvelous and handcrafted story. Everything was thought and has a purpose for existing. All the details are intertwined and connected to the world/characters itself.


This is a masterpiece never seen before in the gaming industry. This ain't no game of the year, this is the game of the entire life.

Thank you very much, to all Larian Studios employees. I'll be forever in your debt.

The Walking Dead: The New Frontier is it the game that we wanted ? No, certainly not. But I'm gonna explain why.

-> The Story and its Flaws
I could summarise the series in two phrases each game, but that's for TL;DR session.
The story aims for a new character, Javier, which was a bold and fail move by TellTale. Javier is a leader type of character, who gains other's trust quickly and it's respected by his fellow partners. Do you remind of someone else ? Yep, that's right, they tried to put a "Lee" on the story again, the only difference is that Lee has our respect and Javier doesn't. Just for this move, I could rate the game down, trying to replace an old and respected character for a new dumb one. The main problem starts when they put Clem as a supporting character and not the protagonist. WTF TellTale ? How could they screw things up like this ? And the things gets darker when I reach the choices issues that this game has. Clem is not even a playable character on the present days, she's only playable in 10minutes flashbacks. Don't get me wrong, the game isn't bad, but it's a poor, dishonest, unsatisfying sequel. As a TellTale game it's bloody damn ok, but it's not a propel sequel to The Walking Dead Series. Let's head to choices for you to feel the neglect with the series.

- Choices issues
So, choices issue on a TellTale game, news ? It would be by the time that season 1 released, but as the time passes and new Telltale's games are being made this topic seems to be quite common on my reviews. I'm gonna start short and sweet, your choices in this game DOESN'T MATTER, bad isn't it ? Worse than that is YOUR SERIES CHOICES DOESN'T MATTER,DOESN'T MATTER WHOM YOU PREFERED TO HAVE STAYED WITH IN THE SEASON 2, THEY MANAGED TO THEM KILL BOTH IN THE MOST RIDICULOUS WAYS, TO HAVE LESS WORK PROBABLY, THEY EVEN MANAGED TO KILL CLEMENTINE'S PERSONALITY, they screwed up everything when it comes to being a good sequel. Independently of your choice in the season's 2 ending if it was final A, B, C or D, it doesn't matter, we're all playing the same sequel with ZERO difference.
But if you ask me "what's the changes by making choices in this game and the previous ones, it must have been some ?" It did, chat changes only, cool isn't it ? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ NO. No gameplay changes, no story changes, no nothing important, just a phrase different in a chat with Javier or with Gabe or with someone else and worse, there are no tough decisions as you had season 1 and 2. So you have cosmetic choices, that don't matter to the story's progress, and they don't even look tough to make ? Yes, that's right. Have you done ? I'm not, please head to the Lenth Issues topic then.

-> Lenth Issues
Well, more issues ? The hell you can bet. Since the world began, Telltale games HAD a average 2.0h/2.5h time PER episode, but this game makes it different. This game has a duration on the first TWO EPISODES OF 3H, isn't it great ? So, you got 2 new episodes, which if you compare to the previous season, they have the almost same duration as 1 episode ? Yep, shocking isn't it ?
And they release the damn game saying "Oh, we wanted to launch 2 episodes at first for the community enjoy even more" Well, THAT'S ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, WHEN I PLAYED THE FIRST 2 EPISODES THE FEELING THAT I GOT WAS A RUSHED, INCOMPLETE, SHALLOW EPISODE. Characters die and you don't even matter, where's the bond that you had with characters ? Where's the feeling of loss when someone's get killed ? As dead as them, unfortunately.

-> FlashBacks and shifting protagonists: a giant question mark
Telltale's monkey developers thought they could speed things up, miss a lot of important facts, kill important people, miss a lot of choices that you could have made for what ? Rush to have Javier as main character, show his family, it's conflicts. So what the monkeys done to tell what happened in the hiatus between the season 2 and 3 ? Flashbacks. The screen get shades of grey and they tell a past story that happened to her (the sad thing is a speed up on her story that we've been following since she was a kid), JUST WHY ? WHY ? WHY DON'T YOU DON'T SPEED THINGS UP, LET THEM HAPPEN NORMALLY AS YOU LEFT IN THE PREVIOUS SEASON ? WHY DO YOU ABBANDON A LOVED CHARACTER TO BUILD ONE THAT NO ONE REALLY CARES ? Really TellTale, is this the time to innovate or to let thing go smoothly and normal as the people want ? You miss a lot from a story, from a character's development to this, to a rushed, small, shallow content episode, to a replacement of protagonists, a loved one to a new one that no one gives a damn ♥♥♥♥ ? I can't understand why they shifted protagonists at this stage, no one wanted this, Clem story's progression is now compromised as you got Javier as main protagonist and a true neglect to her, to the story's roots, she doesn't even appear that much, all we got in this game is JAVIER, JAVIER, JAVIER, JAVIER, i'm "donezo" with Javier, I want to know about Clementine. By having so many problems, I'd say that this game is a franchise killer. Not convinced with my opinion, am I a hater ? Feel free to end reading this review and checking other's reviews that are considered helpful in its store page, what I can tell to you is that I was an obssessed fan of season 1 and 2 when they released and I'm just a guy who felt that this sequel is a utter disrespect as you compare with its predecessors.


Do yourself a favor, don't buy this game. By playing this game, I'd love if they ended TWD series in season 2. It's not a good sequel. I don't really know why they released a poor, rushed, disappointing sequel as this. All the hype, all the expectations crushed, dumped and buried 6 feet under. You know what ? I'm gonna say the truth, this game is nothing more or less than a cassino machine, to get your money and leave you on the ground with failed and destroyed expectations.
TellTale is great when it comes to making new titles, but fails SO MUCH when they try to make a sequel. Utter disappointed, that's what defines me now.

-> TL;DR Session
As I said previously, I can summarise TWD series in two phrases each game.
The Walking Dead Season 1
This game series adapts to the choices you make. The story is tailored by how you play.
The Walking Dead Season 2
This game series kinda adapts to the choices you make. The story is sometimes tailored by how you play.
The Walking Dead Season 3
This game series should, but it doesn't adapts to the choices you make. The story is tailored by how TellTale wants you to play.

Doesn't seem so bright to you ? Let me clarify then.

The Walking Dead Season 1
A masterpiece game, marvelous opening to a TWD series, all choices matter.
The Walking Dead Season 2
A excellent game, excellent sequel, 99% of the choices does matter.
The Walking Dead Season 3
An OK game, "BURN THIS GAME" sequel, choices don't matter and when they do they change barely nothing, a chat phrase at the most.

-> Rating as a Sequel to TWD Series
Episode One: 3/10
Episode Two: 4/10
Episode Three: 5/10
Episode Four: 3.5/10
Episode Five: 3.5/10
Final Score: 3.8/10, basically GARBAGE OUT OF 10

-> Rating as a Spin-off, Standalone game
Episode One: 4.5/10
Episode Two: 6/10
Episode Three: 6/10
Episode Four: 5/10
Episode Five: 5/10
Final Score: 5.3/10

Well, how do I start this game's review ? I think I should be telling you that this is one of the most amazing experiences that you can feel by playing a video game. The Walking Dead is set on a post-apocalyptic world where you play a character named Lee, a university's professor, who needs to survive in the new world. I assure to you that this game is one of the best history driven games in the market, you don't sit and play, you watch, make choices, see the consequences, thrill your path through the post-apocalyptic world. The history is absolutely a masterpiece, the gameplay is great, the way that things are built is amazing, the graphics are a little outdated but you have to forget the graphics in order to play one of the best games that you can play today. And to prove that I'm not wrong the game was awarded several times and even won the GOTY 2012. A absolutely reccomended purchase, without a doubt.

Rating: 9.7/10

Full Review
First of all, an excellent game developed by Telltale that requires some background story before you play it, but it doesn't ruin your experience if you haven't watched a single minute of HBO's series Game of Thrones, it just make less enjoyable. So I highly recommend you to watch until the end or until the end of the third season. In the beginning you get a little confused by the many characters that's presented to you, but it's a matter of time. The story begins a little chaotic, but it settles down after a while. I have to say that the story is great, it's way better than Tales from Borderlands, well developed characters, great cenarios, diplomatic choices (I'll talk more about the issues with the choices below). The graphics are simply amazing, it looks like that you're looking into a animated paint, you can see the paint-brush trails really well, it's not a current-gen graphic, but is really beautifull. I don't have anything to say about the gameplay, it's just like the other TellTale games, mouse only in most of the time and keyboard usage just to walk and combat. The audio is good and "normal", not too much special and not negative points about it. The "enjoyability" is connected to your choices and if you liked or not the development of the story. The dubbing is good, luckily there are some characters from the HBO's Series that are in the game and they are voiced by the real actors from the show.

Issues
The only thing that I've had the problem with in the FIRST and the SECOND episode, was the choices. Choices in this game aren't really choices. Example: you choose to fight with someone before you meet the person, but when you meet you don't fight, you just end up talking to "him". It's not what we expect about a CHOICE GAME, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. And when you have a real choice to make, is just too simple. Example: You can kill a person in public, so you decide to kill, everyone see, they don't like it and it's just that (This don't occurs in the game). Too simple, no deep consequences, just moral choices that are quickly forgotten by the people. That is just unacceptable for a game that has this phrase in the beggining "your story are tailored by the choices you make", B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T. This first episode is pathetic, it looks like a novel than a game that has a interactive story and important choices to make, unfortunately. But STILL has a great story.

TL;DR
An excellent game developed by Telltale, good graphics, great story, good gameplay. It requires some knowledge about the first to the forth season of HBO's series Game of Thrones to really enjoy the story at its maximum, but you can catch up by playing it. The knowledge it's kinda extra but it's very cool and reccomended. But the game has its flaws like in the first and the second episode, choices are not real choices but that change's a little bit as the episodes goes on.
Verdict and Final Comments
Episode One : 5.8
Episode Two : 3.7
Episode Three : 8.0
Episode Four : 7.1
Episode Five : 8.9
Episode Six : 9.4
Average : 7.1

The game itself started with a very promissing and entretaining gameplay, it felt apart mainly on episode 2 (to more details go to Issues) but, surprisenly, managed to recover itself on the following episodes having a wordelful final episode with real choices to be chose. The Episode 6 didn't got a 10.0 because its final, on both archs, are pretty much the same, but overall, it was the best episode that concluded all the storyline of Game Of Thrones Season 1 (by TellTale)

If the game is worth buying ?
If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, yes it is. If you're a fan of TellTale I wouldn't reccomend this game to you, because it's more of a novel with choices that really doesn't matter much because the final of every episode is pretty much the same, the worst case is definately in the first and in the second episodes (0 choices, your choices don't matter), but as the game progresses it starts to improve, but overall the choices (there are cases here and there that does matter, but it takes time, so be wary) are ignored and the history plays equally to everyone, which is a pity.

The Walking Dead Series are awesome, TellTale showed us the masterpiece, which is, The Walking Dead, and when we thought TWD can't continue in the same way of "awesomeness", TWD 2 cames up and yells : "YES, THAT'S POSSIBLE ". So, I highly recommend to buy TWD 1 and after TWD 2 if you want to get involved in a AWESOME and FANTASTIC zombie apocalipse story about a girl called Clementine.
Episode 1 : 9.0
Episode 2 : 9.8
Episode 3 : 9.5
Episode 4 : 9.6
Episode 5 : 9.3
Average Score : 9.5

Wow, What a fantastic game...
This Game is so much easy to learn the controls, but it's hard to complete the matchs. The graphics are very simple, the AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) is very good and the game is very fast so you can complete it with <1 hour. The multiplayer mode is very fun and the tournament mode too.
My Review : 9.0

Early Access Review
Minecraft for mature people, crafting is very good, inicially is a little bit hard to survive in the world, friends can help you to survive. And people will explode your house and kill you many times.
