    I don’t have a clear sense of where the season as a whole aims to go just yet, but “Ties That Bind Part I” is one of Telltale’s strongest openers in recent memory. Scenes feel carefully constructed in their camera direction and editing, and Telltale avoids the pitfalls of its most egregious past issues — only one environmental exploration sequence temporarily slows things down — but forI don’t have a clear sense of where the season as a whole aims to go just yet, but “Ties That Bind Part I” is one of Telltale’s strongest openers in recent memory. Scenes feel carefully constructed in their camera direction and editing, and Telltale avoids the pitfalls of its most egregious past issues — only one environmental exploration sequence temporarily slows things down — but for the most part the episode moves along at an exceptional clip. But that’s not just thanks to Part I’s style. Smart characterization and writing for Javi and his family, plus the return of Clementine, add weight to a largely unfamiliar but already engaging new frontier that I can’t wait to continue to explore.… Expand

    A second great episode that I enjoyed playing to, even thought it wasn't as good as the first one, probably because it was shorter but yet a great cliffhanger at the end, can't wait to see what will happen next !

    Similar to the last episode, the only downfall is that Clementine is hardly in the game and that EPISODES ARE ONLY 60 MINUTES AND NOT 160 LIKE IN SEASON ONE WHYWHYWHY

    Telltale has definitely gotten so comfortable that their latest zombie game lacks any teeth.

    Episode 2 continues developing the characters. With a strong story and the return of the beloved television and comic character Jesus, A New Frontier is getting better and better. The finale is epic but we still do not know what happened to AJ.

    Telltale returns to the universe that brought them their fame and they deliver in almost every way.
