The fourth episode of the post-apocalyptic adventure series continues with Thicker Than Water on PS4, PC and Xbox One. Does The Walking Dead's latest instalment serve up a satisfying feast, or is this chapter mostly gristle? The Digital Fix takes a bite and chews thoughtfully.
Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead series is the benchmark of episodic video gaming. Episode by episode the stakes were raised, culminating with Game of the Year awards for the first season back in 2012. With the final season imminent, what better time to look at start of the harrowing journey?
From The Walking Dead to Game of Thrones; which of Telltale's offerings had us clicking for the exit?
GamerKnights has done a full review of the last 3 episodes of the third season of "The Walking Dead - A new frontier".

"Telltale have moved further and further away from the ‘adventure’ part of adventure games over the years, and remain cool with that. Even compared with episodes 1 & 2, there is basically no gameplay. Episode 5 does bring in some more (and more interesting) quick time events that mix things up a little bit, and finally help the game succeed at what feels a little bit more like ‘action. Each episode remains short though, with episode 5 feeling almost like an afterthought – a mixture of filler, closing out (some) of the plot-holes, and rounding out the action. None of them took me anything much more than 90 minutes to complete. Episode 5 is more like an hour. Telltale have certainly put more ‘value’ into some of their games."
