So with the last episode of Telltale?s The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series upon us, I find myself feeling pretty lukewarm on the entire tale told here. The first episode started off well enough, the second episode was a bit of a let down, and the third…well, it?s better than the second at least.
The third episode, titled ?What We Deserve?, culminates in a brutal showdown between Michonne and the slightly unstable Norma at the homestead introduced in the last episode. The events that play out here aren?t necessarily unpredictable. We know, considering where this tale takes place in the timeline, that Michonne is going to make it out alive. But there?s a few curveballs thrown into the action that keep you guessing as to who the rest of the survivors might be.
Another sequence that I enjoyed happens at the beginning of the episode, which features a small conversation between Michonne and fellow survivor Oak. This takes place before the series started, shortly after Michonne joined Pete?s crew, and it?s just a neat calm before the storm sort of moment that helps you care for at least one additional cast member in a way that you didn?t before. I wish that Telltale had been able to squeeze in more moments like this, as it would have gone a long way towards making me care about the additional characters introduced for this mini-series.
Again, overall, I didn?t find the entirety of Michonne?s mini-series to be a must play experience. This episode was certainly better than the last, but it wasn?t enough of a swing in the right direction to make the overall experience feel worthwhile. That doesn?t mean I?m not looking forward to the upcoming release of The Walking Dead Season 3 from Telltale, but my expectations for their next release are certainly more tempered now.
