The Walking Dead: Michonne - A Telltale Miniseries follows Michonne, an iconic comic book character. Haunted by her past and struggling with pain and remorse, her story unfolds between the events of issues 126 and 139 of the comics, taking players through her previously unexplored journey.
Players will uncover the reasons Michonne left her group, including Rick and Ezekiel, as well as what leads her to return. The game focuses on revealing the changes in Michonne as she navigates her challenges.
In Chapter One, "Unable to Extricate," Michonne boards the sailing boat "The Companion" and joins Pete and his crew to search for survivors and supplies along the coast. When Michonne and the crew respond to a distress signal, they discover a brutal massacre, leading them to Monroe, a survivor community possibly linked to the violence.
Upon starting the game, the main menu music sets a somber atmosphere. The game explores not only dangers from zombies but also the threat posed by changed humans, embodying the idea that real enemies may not be zombies.
Voice acting is impactful, capturing Michonne's experience with danger and survival. Background and ambient sounds are detailed, amplifying key story moments.
The opening features Michonne making two zombies docile as camouflage, showcasing her toughness. The main menu uses black and white, with glowing zombie eyes and Michonne holding a machete.
The game's unique visual style blends animation with realism. Operable objects and characters move naturally, such as swaying with the wind.
At the beginning, the atmosphere is tense, partly created through gameplay that introduces players to basic controls, usually involving quick reactions to specific prompts. As the game continues, the tension eases and these key action prompts are visually indicated: essential actions appear as black or gray keys, while other operations show as single white keys. During dialogue, players must make choices from highlighted options—primarily shown in white—and different speakers are identified by separate color indicators.
The game uses detailed facial expressions and gestures, sometimes blurring to emphasize perspective. Michonne’s struggle with despair is shown as she contemplates suicide, using her last bullet.
The experience feels like watching a stage performance, engaging the player as an observer. While compelling, the first chapter is brief, potentially leaving those invested in the story hoping for a longer narrative.
The game frequently tests the player's reaction speed by requiring them to press prompted keys quickly during action sequences. Sometimes, up to three different key responses are needed in succession. Dialogue options use subtitles that appear in order, and the player must respond before the characters finish speaking, adding pressure to make quick decisions.
Overall, the game is similar to previous Telltale series releases, with no significant improvements elsewhere. The original formula, flavor, and charging mode remain. For fans, it's still excellent but not surprising. Although the storyline is attractive, the short length makes the experience feel incomplete.
