Its not a bad game but it lacked the bonding of previous Walking Dead games for me , playing as Michonne was fun but side characters lacked deepness. Also encountered some bugs regarding new "rewind" feature so highly advise you to buy it on discount.

The game play is almost exactly the same as entries before it. Performance is great. There were no bugs. As made obvious by the title this one is a miniseries about Michonne. It dives into what she was doing/where she was at during her absence from The Walking Dead. It features interesting characters and does a pretty good job of showing what Michonne was going through. This miniseries maintains quite a bit of action and suspense throughout, it makes great use of Michonne's skills with her blade. The combat mechanics were really good. If you enjoyed the rest of Telltale's TWD then you should enjoy this one. If you are a fan of TWD Universe in general then this game will also provide more backstory within the universe.

The Walking Dead: Michonne is a spin-off to the main franchise that is ‘Telltale’s The Walking Dead’ series. As a non-fan of The Walking Dead TV Show, I have no idea of the happenings in the programme, but am aware that Michonne is one of the characters from the show. With this in mind, I treated her as an entirely new character going into the game, and this experience as an entirely new story, with zero outside context whatsoever.

In a series until this point known for its strength in character interactions and depth (in the Telltale series at least), some of the side characters felt a bit under-developed compared to what I would have expected; some of whom are with you for the full duration, and yet leave you wanting to know more about them. I left the experience not really knowing as much as what I feel I should have about some of the side characters, aside from the ones that seemed closer to Michonne on a personal level. I suppose the point of the game is that this is a telling from her perspective, but as an outsider to the TV series, this felt confusing to me.

The decision-making and game progression were great though. Telltale do this all of the time with their story-oriented games, and while I expect it each time, they seem to know how to deliver the unexpected when you… err… least expect it. I can’t deny their ability to make me audibly gasp and respond at certain story beats; and in these immediate moments, they got me again, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

As a completionist, this was a walk in the park. It being a Telltale game, the 100% was achieved just by playing through the game, but the completion felt a bit shallow due to my feelings on the character development and story.

Overall I’m a bit indifferent to the game, hence the mixed review. It’s a perfectly functional and good experience, but I feel this will be enjoyed more by fans of The Walking Dead TV programme. Pick it up in a sale if you want some easy-to-earn achievements, but other than that, there’s little more I can say personally.
