The third season of Telltale’s The Walking Dead delivers a story worth telling.
Many consideredThe Walking Deadto be the game of the year in 2012.
The second season of TelltalesThe Walking Deadwas a good game.
This time around, much of the focus is on a newcomer named Javier Garcia and his people.
Instead, Javiers introduction ranks among the franchises most compelling scenes.
Its quite remarkable, actually, how quickly he becomes one of the franchises most compelling stars.
As you may imagine, his path does eventually cross with Clementines.
She continues to be Telltales greatest character creation.
Then again, its clear that the interactive elements of this series are becoming a bit played out.
The ideally qualifier is more necessary than ever when describing the impact of your decisions.
It also lacks the feeling of exploration that comes from hopping into an entirely new licensed universe.
The best reply to that question in defense of this latest entry is still the story.
Yes, thus far,The Walking Dead: A New Frontiers story really is that good.
