The walking dead season 3 game5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() But with both episodes in Season Three, it seemed like just as things started getting interesting, the episode is over-after an hour of gameplay. In both the first and second season, as well as The Wolf Among Us, the first few episodes have always had a decent amount of length, saving the shorter episodes for the later episodes. Graphical glitches that saw people pop into frame from the aether, subtitle text that is inconsistent to the dialogue, or remains on screen for a half a second, and the jarring ways characters try to emote have a way of really taking the player out of the experience.įurthermore, I couldn’t help feeling like these episodes have been incredibly short. Although, the game suffers from a few glitches that an interactive experience really can’t afford. As opposed to the previous seasons that sacrificed graphic fidelity for a closer resemblance to the comic book, Season Three uses smooth, detailed character models and environments and applies the cel-shaded aesthetic to them, giving the game an aesthetic that looks great and pays homage to the comic roots. So many of the same archetypal characters are knocking around again, and didn’t we already deal with a “rules by fear” allusion to The Saviours in Season Two?įrom a technical level, The New Frontier is probably the best looking The Walking Dead game. Friendships are forged only to be tested, and the values of right and wrong are called into question and none of it really feels all that original. It’s so much of the same notes as the first two seasons: things seem safe and lighthearted, until they suddenly aren’t. It’s not a bad story, but for the third season of games, it’s far too familiar. Things go from bad to worse as Prescott comes under attack by The New Frontier which forces the gang to find a new safe haven to tend to Kate’s wound. In episode two, the rescue mission goes off fairly successful as Javi is reunited with his family, but attacked by the group of thugs, now identified as “The New Frontier,” who very much resemble Neegan’s “Saviours.” It’s a race against the clock as Kate is shot in the confrontation and is in desperate need of medical attention. Clem introduces Javi to a local community of survivors called Prescott and helps stage a plan to go rescue Javi’s family. However, things begin to turn up as Javi is rescued by Clementine, now in her teens and much more hardened to the world (although, depending on save data from Season one and two, she might have some humanity left in her). ![]() When they come upon a junkyard to find supplies, they’re greeted by a band of thugs who separate Javi from his family. In the present, Javier is now surviving alongside his sister-in-law Kate, nephew Gabe and niece Mariana. In episode one: The Ties That Bind – Part One, players take control of Javier Garcia, beginning at the start of the apocalypse and showcasing Javi’s turbulent relationship with his family, especially his brother, before they’re all separated.
