Backlog Critic: "The story from the first episode left me completely in shock, it was the biggest “oh jesus, what the hell just happened!?” moment I’ve had in recent memory" Here's why you should play the first two episodes from your backlog.
Backlog Critic: "A New Frontier takes bold steps by introducing new characters, while keeping the existing roster within arms length. An epilogue to the previous seasons climax is a welcome addition, however Telltale's game design is wearing thin. The staple hard moral choices are the least muddy they have ever been. Gore, shooting gallery sections, and cheap shock scenes are overused. Story feels anemic, and is rushed at the end - shoving in resolutions in quick succession just to get them over with. Player agency within the plot feels the weakest it's ever been, however the interesting new personalities make me hopeful for future seasons."
Don't tell me what to do with my backlog. There is a reason they are in the backlog and i am never playing them ;-)
Telltale has done an excellent job of wrapping of this latest installment of the Walking Dead series. This is the series that started it all and these games continue to be great examples of storytelling and heart wrenching character interactions. Episodes 3-5 are just as good as the first two and do a great job of wrapping up the game.
