    The Walking Dead: A New Frontier comes to a great conclusion with Episode 5 "From the Gallows". Telltale delivers on the family drama, and dials the action up for this season finale that will have you begging for Season 4.

    The close left me wondering just how differently all of my actions could have guided the direction of the episode and finale.

    A solid conclusion to the season, and I definitely enjoyed the ride.

    This fifth chapter is the best one of a very irregular season that does not achieve to give us as good of vibrations as the previous ones.

    This season has its bright spots, but it also suffers from recycled plot points and uneven writing. From The Gallows represents this season's inconsistencies; it has some satisfying moments, but it also features just as many head scratchers. At the very least, From The Gallows is a decent conclusion to Javier's story – but it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

    If you’ve been following the series this far, it might be worth checking out just to have a save file ready for when season four comes out. Just be aware that the finale is pretty disappointing on the whole.

    A poor ending to the weakest season to date, bogged down with inconsistent characterisation and a plot that ignores or discards many key threads.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ending for the season was completely amazing. You feel in the skin the consequence of the choices you made, and you can certainly feel the death of the characters as if you were inside the game. For instance, I really liked Gabe and David, they were characters that had a lot of feelings inside them.… Expand

    The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has been an emotional and amazing ride through some of the most beautiful storytelling I've ever experiencedThe Walking Dead: A New Frontier has been an emotional and amazing ride through some of the most beautiful storytelling I've ever experienced in my many years of gaming. Episode four and five are some of the best episodes I've played from any Telltale game thus far, and closes off my favorite game of their creation in the best ways possible. The ending was great, heartfelt and made my decisions feel impacting. The final episode has only been released for four days and I already can't wait for the next season/downloadable content from Telltale. Thank you, Telltale Games, for your beautiful story.… Expand

    Well, what can I say - I cried at the ending of season 1, season 2 was kinda disappointing but still awesome, Walking Dead:Michonne wasWell, what can I say - I cried at the ending of season 1, season 2 was kinda disappointing but still awesome, Walking Dead:Michonne was average and this one... I don't really know how to feel about it. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier has the best graphics of the whole series, but that doesn't matter to be honest. First season looked less impresive, but the story was way much better. I really enjoyed playing as Lee, in the next season I was happy to control Clementine, but now... Javi was kinda "empty". I had no bond with him at all. I did not care about any character to be honest, only Clementine was important to me. The story of this game (which should be the strongest point) was not actually adictive. To be honest it was boring at some points. I thought that ending would be powerful... Unfortunately it felt me down. It wasn't terrible, it wasn't just as good as endings from previous games. To sum up - Game wasn't as good as TWD season 1, wasn't as good as TWD season 2, was better than TWD Michonne (it wasn't hard to be better than it) . It had some charm in it, but I couldn't say that I enjoyed every minute that I've spent with this game.… Expand

    By far the worst of the entire Telltale TWD series.
    Shallow characters, and boring dialog.

    It first it was pretty interesting but it seemed obvious to me they (the writer(s)) tried to stretch already weak story to far.

    Damn. I played season 2 for first time and it was incredible I thought telltale really knew what they were doing.... IM VERY disapointed withDamn. I played season 2 for first time and it was incredible I thought telltale really knew what they were doing.... IM VERY disapointed with season 3. It was horrible. I'm not making this up. Look at the reviews... The writing, the characters and the story were all very boring. The most interesting parts could have been sumarized in 1 episode. It dragged on for too long with just random stuff happening that had no meaningful impact. Trust me, if you liked season 1 and 2, do not waste your time. You won't be missing out on any clementine story either. Wait for season 4 and give that a shot.… Expand

    Implausible behavior of characters paired with overall terrible dialogue options, together with unpredictable and therefore unsatisfyingImplausible behavior of characters paired with overall terrible dialogue options, together with unpredictable and therefore unsatisfying outcomes and in addition to that several bugs made this episode the worst of the entire franchise for me.

    Firing a gun while inside a herd with no consequences. Shot dead characters walking through the screen as nothing happend. Presumptuousness to place an ad for another game at the end.    … Expand

    Absolute trash. It's like they outsourced the story to the Telemundo's writing room so you get this horrible mind-numbing Spanish soap withAbsolute trash. It's like they outsourced the story to the Telemundo's writing room so you get this horrible mind-numbing Spanish soap with absolutely no redeeming qualities. Nothing in the ending is resolved and you're hit with an after credits scene that says "Clementine's story will continue..." further proving they had absolutely no idea what to do with this season. GET THE REAL ENDING IN THE DLC :)… Expand
