    I'm sorry, but this is a gaming that's cashing-in to the franchise.

    I have nothing against Michonne, as I found her to be a intriguing character from TWD comics and tv shows. But other than the main protagonist herself, the rest of the game falls short. First, it's not the worst game out there hence why I'm giving at least 6. The art style of the game is still great to look at,    I'm sorry, but this is a gaming that's cashing-in to the franchise.

    However, for every step the game takes, it takes two steps backwards. Other characters that you'll meet along the way are pretty stale to the zombie franchise. You know, the rational one, "We can't sacrifice our survival for others" one, the crazy one, and of course, the a$$hole one.

    This game is not recommended even to the TWD fans    … Expand

    Cutscene - Tapping QEQEQEQ like idiot - Disgusting brutal Massacre - Cutscene - Inspect 2 objects - Cutscene - QEQEQE - Cutscene - Cutscene - Inspect some objects - Cutscene - QEQEQE - Cutscene with "hard" choice - End of episode.

    1 hour of wasting time. Cool story? "High" drama? Deep characters? - haha, NO! just tapping QEQE

    Episode 1, episode 2, episode 6, episode 16, episode director's cut, prologue, epilogue, all-in-one edition. These developers are seeing how far they can get away by giving as little as possible and charging you in the process. Short game? Lack of content? No worries, just slice them up into episodic content to make it less obvious!

    Stop ripping us off!!! Poor graphics, boring characters, same story, same thing again and again..... This game is ultra linear and everything is sooo scripted. I might as well just watch the tv film. Or maybe just watch this game on Youtube because you are not really playing this game anyway. The game is playing you instead. STOP IT ALREADY! 0 value. Using the Walking Dead license to cover up for your incompetence? Well kiss my behind. Don't buy this cr@p.    … Expand

    The first episode of TWD Michonne was so touching at the end and the choices were kind of hard to think off (especially at the end).

    This miniseries is about one thing, Michonne. No one else. TTG has captured Michonne's struggle, and with such haunting hallucinations of her children, The Walking Dead: Michonne has made me feel the most emotion in a TellTale game since Lee's death in Season 1.

    I prefer to watch an animation movie with this appealing and wonderful graphics than just pressing the button to forward the conversation, otherwise I would give it better score

    I must say that so far this Walking Dead game disappointed me. The gameplay consisted mostly of timed events where you must press Q or E all the time (yes, we had these in prior games, but I thought they were extremely over used in this particular iteration of the Walking Dead). The story so far did not struck a chord to me and finally, I found the episode TOO short! I could not believeI must say that so far this Walking Dead game disappointed me.

    Telltale, just fix your engine. I enjoy the upgraded shaders and lighting and the qte ui is improved slightly over past telltale games. It's still telltale through and through, but the characters came off as pretty one dimensional in this episode. Looking forward to the next ones but this could never stand alone

    A great little mini-series featuring a recognisable character for fans of the show/comics. While it doesn't have quite the same level of quality as Telltale's main walking dead series, it is definitely worth a play through.

    Episode 1 does a great job at setting the tone, introducing the characters and forming an exciting new premise. Telltall Games I can't wait for more!!

    Well.... i was not really impressed. I expected more, but I guess I have to be satisfied with this. Maybe the following episodes will do better. Let's see how the story will go out.

    Ужасное начало. Скучное и неинтересное, но потом игра разгоняется. Геймплей традиционный для игр TG, что уже надоело. Графика не режет глаза, но и звёзд с неба не хватает. Игры TG могут выехать только за счёт сюжета, с этим справились "Волк среди нас" и "Бордерлендс" - это были замечательные игры в плане сюжета, они держали, но в Мишон всё как-то посредственно, местами интересно, местамиУжасное начало.

    I certainly echo sentiments about the quality of the game and Michonne is an excellent character worthy of her own mini series but my concern is purely a value for money one. I would say the episode was a little short and as I get older and my gaming time gets lower I find myself searching for quality over quantity. I would't say this had to many wow moments and the £11.99 seems a little steep.

    There are little next to any references to Michonne's path until Issue 127 of the comics. And while it's clear that Telltale is learning from their past mistakes, their old formula is too poignant here to be ignored. In Too Deep is not by any means awful, but they can do a lot better.

    this game does not cumole the expectations , it becomes tedious and boring , not doing its job , and you hate characters that have no relevance in the history of the game

    Michonne and her own damn telltale story ? BOOM, well not boom it s short and boring. It feels like they got tired of making walking dead games and this is just the reflection of their boredom.If it's your first the walking dead game it will probably be a dissapointment but for the fans of the series it's an ok addition.

From the "Telltale's TWD series fanboy" side this game having all you need: good and charismatic characters with their own stories, absolutely GREAT main character, Michonne, and, for the first time, those cool psychodelic flashbacks with her daughters are absolutely creeping me out in a good way and COOLEST ACTION with machette, when I was seeing that, I was just like "Whoa, well, you got what you deserved, you walking dead motherf**kers!". The only thing I was worried about is "Why the first episode is much longer, than the other two?", but that's not so important, especially when you will really "get into" the game. And from the technical side: I was playing on Xbox 360, and this game really pushes all the limits of old good Xbox. The graphics is so smooth and great, but I will not tell it about FPS, this is the only bad thing about it if you gonna play it on past-gen: optimization. Why they preferred to bring highest graphic they can deliver on 360 instead of making it rock-solid 30, or maybe 25 frames per second? I bet they would deliver us good graphics and solid FPS at one time. Even though optimization is not very good, but this game shows us that Telltale would port TWD:NF on 360/PS3 without much problems. Anyway, this game is very cool, even if there's a lack of optimization and there's no Lee/Clementine/Kenny/whoever-you-choose-from-TWDS. Must-have even on an old generation of consoles. 9/10… Expand

    Michonne's miniseries focuses heavily on the main character and fast narrative leaving some of the story elements too open and hazy. The dialog is top notch and the story is compelling, hopefully next time the carrot hanging on the cliffhanger is little sweeter. [Apr 2016]

    Fans of the comic books will surely love this addition to Michonne’s story, as it gives a glimpse into what went on during her disappearance in the comics. Others will enjoy it for its easy to learn gameplay, terrifying post-apocalyptic world, and its cast of unique characters.
