Returning to the famed franchise that saw Telltale Games propelled into the forefront of narrative-driven adventure games, The Walking Dead: Michonne is a brand new mini-series focussed on the titular character. Appearing heavily within the comic book source material and the TV show, some players will of course already be familiar with Michonne’s character from the very beginning; however, the game comfortably introduces this well established character to players that are not invested in The Walking Dead universe, such as myself. After spending 2 hours or so with her during the course of the first episode, I can safely say that she has plenty to provide the Telltale franchise.
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”.
