GR:
Set during a period in The Walking Dead‘s comic book timeline when Michonne left the group (and her katana sword) in an attempt to sort out her own personal demons, Episode One: In Too Deep starts off with a dream sequence. Haunted by the two children she left behind years ago, Michonne cuts past painful memories while cutting down about a half-dozen walkers in real life. Using flashbacks as a way to get viewers invested quickly has been done countless times in movies and television so why not a game’s tutorial, right? Anyone that's played season two of The Walking Dead will easily get up to speed with the now standard left-stick movements and quick-time events.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more with the PlayStation Store Update.
Michonne is one of the more interesting characters to grace The Walking Dead and no, not just because she’s the chick with the sword. Her back story is one of personal tragedy and the first episode of Telltale’s latest miniseries shows us this in much more detail. As with the first two game seasons, The Walking Dead: Michonne takes place within the confines of the graphic novel’s universe rather than that of the TV show. Specifically taking place between issues 126 and 139 during which our titular character leaves Rick Grimes and his group.
Sirus Gaming: Ultimately, the first two episodes of the series was a really great ride for me. Only one more episode to go, and that’s another great game on my “things to recommend to other people to play because it’s gold and is just simply great”.
