it's good in that it's a perfectly serviceable 3D platformer

but it's worse than every big-name 3D platformer

Are there any particular issues it has? Or is it just unremarkable compared to others?

it controls well and handles well, and the music is good and writing is fine for the genre. but the levels are a bit dull overall, from what i remember. i haven't played it since the pc re-release, so these are memories from the original xbox

if you want a cheap 3d platformer i don't think there's a compelling reason against it. it's just not a game that many are passionate about

I think A New Frontier struggles to define itself. The Michonne mini-series did as well, but the scope of that game was much smaller so it had fewer opportunities to stumble, and it had a great core to fall back on - the visual language it used to show Michonne's past and her suicidal ideation was striking, and that had a trickle down effect on the smaller character moments. It was tense and unpredictable. It was flawed as well, sure, but it earned its pathos.

A New Frontier doesn't... often. Clem is Clem, and the way TT handles that character continues to be wonderful. Putting her in a new setting, with different context each time keeps the games fresh. The flip-side of that is TT need to introduce a new cast each time, and this cast doesn't get the time needed to develop as TT struggle to balance their quiet moments, time with Clem, and the bigger action set pieces. The pacing is off. I still think there's enough to recommend it, but it's one of TT's weaker efforts.

There are bad TT games (Jurassic Park). There are boring TT games (Batman). A New Frontier is neither - it's uneven.

that was a bit of how i felt about season 2 - clem owns, and everyone else sucks. the most compelling parts of that game were in grappling with how to recontextualise clem. if they do right by that character, i'll probably still check it out.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Both top 15 games for me. Bloodlines has been a lot cheaper than its current price tho. Still worth it.

so how's walking dead season 3?

Mediocre at best, really
iicon pretty much nailed it perfectly
I wouldn't put it in the same tier as Jurassic Park and Game of Thrones, they are really trash tier, but it's still not good
Episodes are way too short (1 hour per episode, maybe one and a half sometimes) not many hard decisions to make mostly because you don't care about the characters, barely any shocking moments
There is also the Walking Dead problem that after 2 TV shows, 4 games and a comic it's very hard to make something new and fresh
Need to cut arm to save someone? been there, done that
Need to cover yourself with Walkers gut to walk inside a swarm? yeah
Need to choose between 2 people who to save? done
Need to make noise to alter walkers to go to other place to clear the path? again and again..

I would say skip, but Season 4 is confirmed so it might be needed to play at some point
Just..not now

Just submitted a refund request for DOOM. Worth £10, not worth 80 gigs, and the one feature that, when I heard about it, made me think "Oh cool, I'll buy it now" was the inclusion of classic levels, which... turned out to be awful in practice.

I'll get Hitman instead.

Take a look at the Drakensang series. Based on the German tabletop game Das Schwarze Auge (The Dark Eye, the same setting as Chains of Satinav, Blackguards, Realms of Arkania and a few others), so some similarities to other tabletop-licensed games such as Neverwinter Nights. Fairly low sysreqs, so it might work on whatever you've got.

TBH, if it's low-spec (and therefore likely old) WRPGs you're looking for, you'd have had better luck with the GOG sale a few weeks ago.

EDIT: Oh yeah, Steam has Arcanum: Of Steamworks (heh) And Magick Obscura. Old but great.
