    A New Frontier could have been the beginning of the end for Telltale's The Walking Dead. Risks were taken but they paid off brilliantly. Players will still be chasing the summit reached by the first season's teary final moments, but this episode closes a season-long arc that is Telltale's most thematically satisfying and emotionally resonant to date. It's a tale of family, responsibility, atonement, and inevitably, loss. It captures what this whole season stood for and breathes new life into the series.

    The finale focuses on your legacy and what you want to leave behind with Javier, who made his share of mistakes before the apocalypse. Seeing the man he grows into is satisfying, especially knowing you had a hand in influencing his relationships and choices. However, it all leads back to Clementine in the end, making this adventure just feel like a side story in her larger arc.

I felt it spent way too much time on love story of 2 characters I hope isn't the main focus in the future. I did like how the story still has lasting effects on Clementine but part of me wanted more there.

    My biggest complaint is the story lengths, especially episode 5. For as good as the story is, it isn't nearly as long or as user interactive as past seasons. Sure some of the ending of this was wrapped in a little bow, but the story could have been so much more.    … Full Review »
