You could state that Javi’s relationship with Kate is just as important, but in many ways it is a by-product of the brothers’ tough love relationship. However, this last episode really is Javi’s tale, and the primary conflict that has been simmering throughout this series has been his relationship with his brother. I admit that I was hoping for at least one more Clementine-based flashback sequence, but the way the game ends, it is clearly setting is up for Clementine’s next adventure, and I suspect everyone is going to be alright with that. Prior episodes let you control Clementine for short bursts of time as she talking through or recalled flashback moments, but this fifth and last episode puts us squarely in Javi’s shoes throughout.

The former is arguably the most relatable lead character for me in the series so far, while the latter has been with us in one capacity or another throughout the three primary seasons of The Walking Dead, so watching her evolution as a character has been really rewarding.

Probably my favorite aspect of this series as a whole and this episode in particular has been the two primary characters – Javi and Clementine. From the Gallows manages to encapsulate all of these characteristics in a final episode that has some really weighty moments, but very few genuine surprises. A New Frontier manages to generally avoid this, with brisk storytelling, some good characters and some grim scenarios that make you want to see how things play out. Some of their titles are simply excellent throughout, but in truth most of the series they produce have some high peaks and some low valleys along the way. It is interesting to see such a consistent delivery from the Telltale Games team. For better or worse, this was a very consistent five episode arc that had very few highs or lows, and simply delivered a good but not great tale in the Walking Dead universe. The last episode in almost every Telltale Game winds up being the best in the series, but The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier Episode 5: From The Gallows continues the trends we saw throughout the entire New Frontier series.
