Throughout the story of A New Frontier you mostly stay in control of Javi, the former baseball player from Episode One. Beyond that though, there are some scenes and sections of the game that just don't look good at all. This is mostly due to some technical issues with the game, which cause hitching and stuttering all along the way. In fact, the game actually feels quite old. There is very little new in the way of mechanics in A New Frontier. There are occasional sequences where you may have to have quick reactions or do some light puzzle-solving, but most of the action is of the “choose-your-own-adventure” variety.
As opposed to classic, point-and-click adventure games, you spend the majority of your time with the game making dialogue choices to move a story forward. If you've played a Telltale release from the past five years, you should know exactly what to expect from A New Frontier's gameplay. By the season's end, A New Frontier fails to deliver a satisfying story, and just feels rough all along the way. While there is a smattering of that throughout this latest season of Telltale's flagship adventure series, it's hard to celebrate that when there's so much wrong with the core game itself. When I got through the first episode of The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, I was tentatively excited for a game that could have done interesting things with perspective in storytelling.
