Comic fans will be particularly pleased to know that a well-known character gets an extended cameo. Suffice it to say, it's classic Walking Dead territory - the same kind of challenges that Rick Grimes and his group of survivors in the comics would face. To explain more of the story would venture into spoiler territory, to say nothing of the fact that players can alter how the story progresses considerably. Together, the two come face-to-face with the New Frontier, a cult-like organization that promises a safe haven from zombies, but at a terrible cost. A supply run gone wrong forces Javi to team up with Clementine, a major player from the previous Walking Dead games. Years later, Javi ekes out a meager existence, roaming the American Southeast in a van along with his niece, Mariana his nephew, Gabe and their stepmom, Kate. Just when it seems as if things couldn't get any worse, the dead return to walk the Earth and … well, you know the rest. Javi's promising baseball career took a dive when he got mixed up in a gambling scheme, he can't help care for his dying father, and his whole family is furious with him on both counts. Javier Garcia is not in a good place, either professionally or personally. As your decisions accumulate throughout the next three episodes, each player could wind up with a subtly different experience (although, to be fair, many major plot points remain the same either way). Will you run from raiders to save a friend, or stand and fight to potentially save a whole town? Will you kill or spare a former captor? Will you treat a stranger as a potential ally or a possible threat? The game doesn't judge you it just adjusts accordingly. There are no easy decisions, and no clear good-versus-evil morality divide. This is where A New Frontier succeeds beautifully: by giving players a large amount of control over the story that plays out. (You can also reconstruct a fairly accurate facsimile in case you lost your data somewhere along the way.) Without spoiling anything, Clementine can look and act very differently when Javi meets her, depending on your choices.
Some decisions will even affect who lives and who dies, as well as where Javi goes and whether he attempts a peaceful or pugnacious solution once he's there.Įven better: If you play the game on the same system you used for Seasons 1 and 2, your save file will carry over and influence Clementine's behavior and backstory. You can rat out your new friend to curry favor with a town leader, or keep her secret safe to build her trust. Will you curse out your brother, or accept his apology? He'll remember it either way, and treat you accordingly later on.
