Walking Dead: A New Frontier

It’s about time that I got back into this excellent series. I had forgotten how stressful these games were. There are never any good choices, and, just when you think you’ve found one, something goes wrong and messes everything up. I wasn’t too happy about the focus on the new character Javier instead of Clementine but there’s enough interaction with her (and a couple of flashbacks where you control her) to make it feel like you are still affecting her character in a meaningful way. After years of the T.V. series and all these games the stories and characters tend to fall quickly into tropes. There’s always the guy who can’t keep his cool or the group leader who seems to have brought back civilization but ends up being a wacko.
