She even leaves her wedding ring on the dirt. Javi and Kate go to David's body, she pulls off his Army dog tags, and then buries them without a word of eulogy. It's all wrapped up by an oddly cold denouement. All of this is recounted to you via a dialogue scene when Gabe returns-which, of course, ruins any sense of closure to the story between Javi and David that's been the underpinning of this entire season. You can't help but be disappointed, especially if you take the high road and refuse to fight back, honoring the wishes expressed by your father in the opening prologue.Įven worse, David dies offscreen. Even after it's fully revealed that Kate is in love with Javi and wants nothing to do with her hothead hubby, the brothers do nothing more than get into a brawl that's capped by David taking off in a truck with his son Gabe. These two hate each other, and they're both in love with the same woman, so you expect fireworks. He might as well be wearing a red shirt and beaming down to a planet with Captain Kirk.ĭisappointingly, the big showdown between Javi and David is a huge letdown. The guy you think is going to die does die, almost immediately after a dialogue sequence that concludes any unfinished business hanging over the plot from the last episode. Javi uses zombie guts as camouflage to walk between zombies.

Your core group of survivors flee across rooftops in scenes that evoke moments from earlier Telltale seasons, as well as those from early episodes of the TV series. Walking Dead and general action-movie cliches come fast and furiously. The wild gun battle abruptly ends as everyone runs away from the incoming walkers. Or has it? Kate is soon seen none the worse for wear, despite riding an exploding truck into a wall that's soon overrun by zombies. In short, everything has gone completely to hell. Kate has accidentally plowed a stolen truck into a wall, allowing a herd of zombies into the heart of the city-and apparently killing herself in the resulting explosion. The fortress town of Richmond has just exploded into civil war with a gunfight on the streets. The story picks up precisely where the last episode, Thicker Than Water, concluded. Of course, it's hard to properly critique From the Gallows without delving into the narrative that unfolds in this episode. Everything plays out too predictably and is too indulgent of Walking Dead franchise cliches to be particularly satisfying to those who have followed the travails of Javi Garcia and his erstwhile flame (and sister-in-law) Kate since Episode One arrived just before last Christmas.
While this closing act ties all the dangling plotlines into a neat bow, the fiery promise of its predecessors sputters out due to some odd dramatic choices. Spoiler Warning: The following review contains a detailed recap of the events in the final episode of A New Frontier.įrom the Gallows stumbles to its conclusion much like the walkers that finally appear in this concluding episode of Telltale Games' A New Frontier.
