March 2025
This is a story not only about survival but also about how a family falls apart in the midst of the apocalypse. At the center of it are the brothers, Javier and David, whose relationship is put through numerous trials. The game presents a brutal world where even the strongest people can break. The story begins with Javier, the younger brother, trying to protect his loved ones. Soon, he encounters his older brother, David, who has been living in a different camp all this time and has become a tough leader. He tries to maintain control, but the world around him keeps breaking him down. David is a complex character. On one hand, he is a real soldier, accustomed to making tough decisions. On the other hand, he just wants to keep his family safe. However, his methods often lead to conflict, especially with Javier. The further the story progresses, the more you realize: he is not a villain—he is a man broken by time. The game's ending becomes a true test. You can try to save David, but he still walks away, not believing that he has a future. It is one of the most tragic moments—when you understand that sometimes, even your best efforts cannot change fate. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is a dramatic story about how even the strongest people can break in a world of chaos. David is a complex yet tragic character who fights for his family until the very end, but in the end there is only one left. This game is truly remarkable, and it powerfully conveys the harsh reality that no matter how hard you try, some things are simply beyond your control. If you care about deep family dramas, this part will hit you right in the heart.

Not as good as the first, some choices seem "fake", for in any case the game goes into some direction, but overall the game is great, good story, heartfelt situations, nice characters. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3346567639

It took me a while to warm up to Javier, but the man's cool. I like him. He's got a strong story and evolved in an interesting way. And Clementine is a freaking badass, man.

This title is a little bit different than the two before it. The first two focus heavily on the story of Clementine and her growth throughout the apocalypse. This one continues the journey of Clem, but in a different way. In this story you play through the eyes of a brand new character who really has their own growth and development throughout. Clem is present, but her story is told through interactions. It’s an interesting new direction, and I think the writers did a good job of showing us Clem’s growth between TWD:S2 and The New Frontier. Javier, the new main character, and his family are good characters. The plot is interesting and the story is able to keep the player involved throughout. Additionally, like TWD:S2 there are new combat mechanics. The new characters, new combat mechanics, well told story, and development for Clementine make this an obvious must play if you are a fan of the series. It does not disappoint.

Pretty good game. Not much interaction thought. Can only use "W" key to move the character. Still don't know to point of 'sprint', you can't really use it most of the time. The "Q" and the "E" keys are not in the control layout, but you use them more than WASD that show in the control layout.
