Unfortunately, an extended period with him and Javi only exacerbates the problem of his presence.
#THE WALKING DEAD A TELLTALE GAMES SERIES REVIEW IGN TV#
While I’ve cared about Javi in his role as surrogate parent, I’ve consistently found Gabe to fit snugly in the annoying teen stereotype found on nearly every TV drama. Instead, “Thicker Than Water” spends much more time than necessary on the continually unlikeable Gabe. I wished more time could have been spent with Clem and Kate.The episode largely dips from there, though, kicking off with a boring environmental puzzle and only briefly touching upon the more interesting characters in Javi’s life, like Kate and Clem. I now understand their tempers, and though I wish the present-day story offered more interaction between the two beyond an early scene, I’m glad to finally have a deeper knowledge of such a key piece of Javi’s life.
“Thicker Than Water” starts on another strong Javi flashback, this one giving some dimension to his and his brother David’s combative relationship before the walker apocalypse set in. Some of that disappointment stems from the episode’s poor pacing. I love their dynamic, but with an episode light on tense sequences, their main interaction in “Thicker Than Water” doesn’t quite live up to the bond that’s been built in the last three episodes. The two share comparably so little screentime in the episode, with Clem’s flashback once again being one of the most superfluous moments of any given episode.
The same goes for Javi and Clementine’s bond. Javi and Kate get great moments together, building off of three episodes of romantic buildup between the two, but she’s practically nonexistent for two-thirds of “Thicker Than Water.” At one point a character has to go to another room to call her in, and I almost laughed at the realization that she’d been absent for such a mundane stretch. But the bonds that have mattered most to me, both of blood and of water, are the least emphasized in episode 4. A New Frontier has been successful with its depiction until now, especially with David. The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series (2019) includes all the episodes in one package for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.Another area in which this episode fell short of my expectations was in how we’re allowed to shape and develop Javi’s close relationships. The complete collection has been gathered together in the following package: The Walking Dead The Final Season (2018-2019) A finally that concludes Clementine's story arc.Įach of these represents a season of content broken into a number of episodes. The Walking Dead A New Frontier (2017) A few years later we find Clementine older now and with AJ, the infant she rescues at the end of Season 2 who is now a toddler. The Walking Dead Michonne (2016) A three-episode series that fleshes out the time between the first two The Walking Dead seasons. The Walking Dead Season Two (2013) A year later, Clementine is separated from the other survivors and forced to fend on her own. The Walking Dead 400 Days (2012) is 400 Days is a downloadable episode that bridges between Season 1 and Season 2. The Walking Dead (2012) The start of the zombie apocalypse where Lee Everett rescues young Clementine whose parents had travelled to Savannah prior to the apocalypse. As time goes by it's clear that you are having a substantial and sometimes grave effect on how the stories play out. You can talk to people, explore your location, pick up things and take a wide range of routes.Īlthough at first, this feels like you are not really changing very much of the game. These are graphic adventure games, that play out like a novel but with a narrative and characters that change depending on your actions. How you interact with each of them and make decisions about various dangers results in a branching story where no one is guaranteed to survive. You explore locations and gather a ragtag group of survivors.
Walking Dead is a survival adventure game series.
