The Walking Dead: A New Frontier
I don't think The Walking Dead: A New Frontier is as bad as everyone makes it out to be, and I believe that it is a worthy entry in the series. The dynamic between Javier and David was a highlight, and their relationship with each other and their family carried many of the games emotional moments for me. The cast is mostly likable and well-written, but there is an overall feeling that Telltale was playing it safe, as many of the characters ended up being forgettable and didn't stand out when compared to the prior seasons.
However, I do have a major issue with this game, and its the end to both Clementine and Javier's arcs. The continuation of the endings from season 2 were completely disrespected for Clementine, with only the "alone" ending making sense for the story was told here. I wish that Clementine had a larger role in the story, as her inclusion ends up feeling half-hearted.
As for Javier, having 4 possible endings really hurt being able to end the story in a satisfying way. The choice you make that determines the ending that you get is ultimately determined by two choices you make in flashbacks as Clementine. These two choices have no affect on her ending as it will always be the same, so it's frustrating that it makes such an impact on the end to Javier's story. I like when a game has multiple endings if they fit thematically, but here, they distract from the story that Telltale was clearly trying to tell.
