    And so, overall, The Walking Dead: Michonne is a worthwhile game to try out.

    Despite it lacking the “wow factor” and extended runtime of the series’ other iterations, it is still worth sauntering out to pick up.

    It’s great to explore the background of one of the comic’s more popular characters, but doesn’t significantly push Telltale’s games on from their previous highs.

    The Walking Dead: Michonne ends up an entertaining, if not quite as satisfying, addition to Telltale’s slowly evolving series. At its worst it simply provides more of the same action and difficult decision making that fans seem to love, and at its best it delivers fresh canonical insight into one of The Walking Dead’s most interesting characters.

    A lot of what happened was very predictable; it felt like the game was tricking you into thinking your choices meant something, when really, you weren’t doing anything at all.

    Michonne is just a shadow of the previous The Walking Dead games in terms of both gameplay and story. [07/2016, p.72]

    Michonne is terrible in her protagonist role – she is unsociable, cynical and silent. But she is the most mysterious and unusual character from the The Walking Dead. To squeeze player into her skin is a very convenient way to show how she came to such a life. [Issue#210, p.77]

    Subsequent episodes of The Walking Dead: Michonne were issued very quickly. This affected the quality of the final product, and the full story can be completed in few hours. The game fails in many ways and makes us more a spectator than a participant in the events.

    The game is really short to be immersed in.
    I felt like the first ep took about 40 mins 2nd ep was like 30mins and the last one was 20mins.
    And I don't know if other people liked it but I never liked this hallucination scenes.
    This kind of scenes are boring in most games just like this one.
    If you can enjoy mediocre quality games, go for it. You might enjoy it.    … Full Review »

The game also had some technical issues, with some frame rate drops here and there and some very long loading times especially in episode 3 (30+ seconds on a Samsung 850 Evo SSD).

    If you enjoyed previous games from TTG you will enjoy this one as well but just know it won't last long and you will most likely be left thinking "Oh it's over?" by the time the credits roll.    … Full Review »

Someone who has played the previous titles of the series will notice that there have been some improvements over the technicalities such as graphics, cinematics, screenplay, and whatnot. Overall, it may not be one of Telltale's best games, but TWD: Michonne offers a pleasant experience -- most especially for the fans of the series.… Full Review »
