Thankfully, Telltale doesn’t get rid of what made their first endeavors into the world of Walking Dead great. ![]() From there it’s a battle to keep what remains of your family together and survive a snowball of devastating events all to get help from an unexpected source. Everything goes totally bitchcakes when you come across a new threat in the form of a group calling themselves The New Frontier. This is Walking Dead where everything is easy, right? Nope. Now not only will you be attacked from all sides by this bleak dangerous world, you’ll have to endure it while trying to be your family’s beacon of hope. You’ll jump ahead a few years later as his brother David’s wife and two kids (Gabe and Mariana) are now under your care. His tragedy serves as prologue and one of the most horror-proper cinematic openings any video game or film can have. We meet Javi at the beginning of the disaster and instantly see how he could last years in this world. A twentysomething baseball playing gambler who’s shamed in much the way MLB nerds will remember Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds was. “Ties That Bind”, the two-part premiere (of 5 episodes) puts players in the shoes of Javi Garcia. While much has evolved to feel new in The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier, it still retains everything that made the first two seasons of the game powerful. The game does what great new #1 comics do reward longtime fans while avoiding the impenetrable fence for new readers. A New Frontier is a bit deceptive of a name for Telltale’s latest entry in their Walking Dead games set in the world of Robert Kirkman’s zombie apocalypse comics.
