I haven't heard one good thing about this game and a whole lot of "let's pretend the New Frontier didn't happen" from a lot of TWD fans. I have to say, I entered the game expecting a little disappointment from a whole lot of criticism. That really wasn't the case at all. I was expecting to pick up from Clementine's story and continue onward instead of introducing a whole new group of characters, but I was intrigued anyway. Definitely in no way or shape did Javier, Kate, David, Gabe and Mariana even come close to resembling the first few groups in TWD 1. Sure, they were interesting and held my attention, but their character development and struggles were all connected to one thing: them all being family. The whole family aspect of the group keeping together didn't make this game as fun as the first two seasons, but once everyone got to Richmond, things really started getting exciting. All in all, I enjoyed the hell out of this game. I think since Telltale blew it out of the park (in the greatest way possible) and season two was a great sequel, it's honestly not realistic or fair to hold them up to a standard where this third (and maybe even the fourth season, I haven't played it yet so we'll see) constantly need to one-up or hold up to season one's legacy. I really enjoyed this season for what it was.
