"The first two chapters of The Walking Dead: Michonne took some time getting to the core of what made this mini-series special. Both “In Too Deep” and “No Shelter” had some great introspective moments for Michonne, but the story points driving them along weren’t nearly as compelling as what was unfolding in Michonne’s head. With the final episode, all of the elements finally pull together to deliver a haunting, gut-wrenching conclusion that gives Michonne more depth, and will have you wondering if we get what we deserve or we deserve what we get...
...Can you forgive Michonne, and by proxy allow her to forgive herself? Should she spend the rest of her life atoning for an irreversible decision she made years ago? Is it right to give solace to someone who may not have earned it? There are no wrong answers in The Walking Dead: Michonne, but you must be prepared to live with the consequences of your actions just as she has for the past few years.
..
...The lead up to The Walking Dead: Michonne‘s third episode may not have been as strong as Telltale’s previous efforts, but this final installment (and as a result the whole of the story) makes the journey to this point more than worth the early slog. Once Telltale was able to settle in and allow Michonne’s own journey shine versus that of the extraneous characters, the mini-series settles in to become one of the developer’s most ambitious efforts. Not every company has the will or even the guts to create a game that deals with grieving and depression, let alone to do it quite as successfully as Telltale has here. The Walking Dead: Michonne is tough game to swallow because it makes you think about all of these elements in ways you probably haven’t before, but that’s also what makes it so great.
