Let me just say...
Season one and two of Telltales The Walking Dead:
"THE best thing I have played, seen.....experienced."

Season three (A new frontier) is very, very good! But it doesn't have the same 'feeling' somehow.

Why not...
Don't get me wrong, this is a great installment of TWD series. If you enjoyed seasons 1 and 2, then I'm confident that most will enjoy this.

The characters I have no issue with at all, thankfully you still come across some great ones. Some 'really' great ones in fact. You may love them, hate them or be on the fence about them. But there WILL be at least a few that you will appreciate and feel like you know their personality, great personalities they are too.

So...Great characters.

The story as it unfolds? Well that's good too. It has become a little more focused on surviving the elements and fellow human being rather than being all out Walker war, and that's great. You still feel immersed and are often left wondering what's coming next.

I think it 'just' falls short of seasons 1 and 2 simply because the story although still good, is a little more fragmented, with a little more going on. While some may see that as a positive thing, I just see it as a 'shift' or 'change' that somehow feels different, not necessarily a bad thing, just not quite season 1.

Seasons 1 and 2 both mastered the art of leaving me wanting more, wondering what will come next. Season 3 did fall a little short in this area for me. It felt a little too much like an 'ending' rather than an unfinished story.

Saying that, as season 4 is now in the making, I bet most of us are reminiscing over how season 3 (A new frontier) left our characters. The variation at the end of this season has no doubt been brought back into our thoughts, so although it felt like an ending...We are now pondering over how things will proceed.

Fingers crossed season 4 will at least match up to season 3, here's hoping it matches the original and best - season 1.

Game conclusion...
If you love immersive story based RPG's then you will love The Walking dead in its entirety. If you enjoyed season 1, then you can't not buy into the following seasons.
