    The story is okay and overall it's just an okay game.
    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,    The story is okay and overall it's just an okay game.

    Telltale's mini-series The Walking Dead: Michonne was unquestionably a step-up for TTG.

    Overall an enjoyable experience with a decent story but it's extremely short, we knew it was a miniseries thus only 3 episodes instead of the usual 5 - 6 but what I didn't expect was for each episode to be nearly half the regular duration, the full series took just about 4 hours instead of the expected 6 hours, so it felt like you missed an entire episodes worth of playtime.

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.    … Expand

    The Walking Dead: Michonne is okay, as I think. Rather good story, interesting characters, but I would prefer seeing "The Walking Dead: Daryl" instead of "Michonne" which is not my favourite character at all from The Walking Dead. However, you will not be forced to play a long, since the game is not too long, but it gives you some content from Telltale Games. Yeah, finally.

    Да, название Miniseries оправданно. Сюжет не удивляет, а геймплей не менялся с 2012 года...
    Но вытаскивают игру разные ситуации, то очень даже интересные, то скучные. Удивительно, что игроку вообще дают походить, только делается это с такой неохотой, что хочется просто побыстрее продвинуться по сюжету.
    Не плохо, но весьма средне, на любителя.    Да, название Miniseries оправданно. Сюжет не удивляет, а геймплей не менялся с 2012 года...

    Michonne mini series has the Telltale qualities i love, but its just so damn short, you can finish all 3 episodes in just 1.5 h giving you 30 minutes per 5 $, thats not a good value for such game. But even at that its still a good game with good and well paced story line.

    The Walking Dead: Michonne is the worst Telltale adventure game I've played yet in terms of choppy animations and the game is quite short at under 4 hours. However, if you're a Walking Dead fan, you'll want to get this game. For the rest of the gamers out there, it's what you'd expect from The Walking Dead games except it's "fun-size".

    Michonne's backstory was interesting. It is not nearly as good as the first in the Telltale series. Overall, it was pretty boring and seemed very short. This will be the last one I play.

    As always - tough and gloomy, in the spirit of the walking dead series and games from Telltale. If you liked previous projects - feel free to take it. Well, get ready for the fact that it will pass very quickly, it was not for nothing that they called it a mini-series

    Quite interesting story, again not as good as main series of games, but it was enjoyable despite few slightly more boring parts.

    Зачем и для чего!? Невнятное ответвление от основной игры, ничем не запоминающееся, проходной вариант, пройти стоит для фанатов серии, но не более. 6/10

    Good little story, good music. But for a full-fledged game, it does not hold out, it passes very quickly. And with the main character, the developers came up with something, moved away from the canonical comic book. I can’t rate it as a full season, very little content.

    There's a remastered version available now, together with all the other games in the series, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Definitive Series, which is superior to the original game in terms of visuals and overall presentation.

The remaster does a great job of bringing the game up to today's standards, although the original game still holds up well in terms of graphics. I highly suggest you consider playing the remaster because it is superior.

    "The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries" proves to be a disappointment as it comes across as rushed, and worst TWD experience in the series so far. In contrast to the other games in the series, it is noticeably shorter although it comes with a high price tag.

    The game introduces characters, only to swiftly remove them through various means. Unfortunately, the character development is lacking, leaving Michonne's character feeling rather uninteresting, to be honest.

    Unlike the first two games in the series, "Michonne" doesn't offer a branching narrative that can completely alter the course of the entire game. Although choices do hold significance to some extent, they alter the narrative's presentation while retaining the core concept. Certain choices hold more enduring consequences, while others bear only fleeting impacts. The notable difference here is that many decisions in this installment felt uninspiring. However, this sentiment could largely stem from my lack of attachment to any character throughout my playthrough.

    Coming off the emotional engagement of the first two games, I found myself let down by the absence of any emotional connection in "Michonne." The characters and scenes failed to evoke little to any feelings within me. Additionally, the gameplay diverges from its predecessors by heavily relying on Quick-Time events and action-oriented sequences, which, in my opinion, isn't bad, but needs a balance, with a bit more exploration and character control, as a The Walking Dead title.

    Nonetheless, it's important to remember that this is a spin-off, unrelated to the other titles in the series except for its shared universe. Playing "Michonne" isn't essential to comprehending the other two "The Walking Dead" games in the series. Evidently tailored for fans of the comic books who have a deep affinity for Michonne, the game seems geared toward an audience that may prioritize the character's story over its overall quality.

    I will recommend you this for the usual Telltale dialogue-choices + cinematic storytelling gameplay. But play the game without high expectations. It is a short experience, and not expecting the same TWD quality will soften the blow.

    There is one aspect that stood out to me in this game—the intro. It's remarkably well-executed, and I genuinely hope that future titles adopt similar intros.    … Expand

    Clunky and robotic animations, forced dialog, cringe worthy overacting, and dyslexic controls make this series really hard to enjoy. There are moments when the game WANTS you to care about the characters, but unlike the AMC series, there's really no reason to care about all these characters you've just met.

    If the game focused more on Carol or Darrel, I think it would have been more interesting as very little is known about them before the apocalypse, and I feel they chose Michone because they needed to check some racial boxes after releasing 400 Days. Michone really is the weakest link in the series.    … Expand

    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.
