Way too short; otherwise awesome game
Id give this game 5 stars except for the fact that the first episode was over way too quickly, and theres no clear indication on when exactly the following episodes will be released. Ive read vague Internet chatter of "sometime in March and April" respectively, but Im gonna be honest, Im not too thrilled over the developers being all too eager to take my cash in advance, then come back with vague "coming soon" responses for when the product can be expected.
I loved The Walking Dead seasons 1 and 2 and The Walking Dead: Michonne is on track to be included. The story, quality, etc are all superior and doesnt deviate from what fans of TWD game series have come to expect.
That said, Michonne is such a complex character to relegate to a miniseries much less one that has episodes that just fly by. I think of TWD Season 1 game, and thats the kind of scope and attention a character like Michonne requires.
Thats not to say anything is deficient here per se. Its a great game with a character so good and done so well, youre left wanting so much more, but oh wait, the episode is over suddenly and it isnt for certain when youll get the next episode that may or may not be as fleeting.
I have to echo other reviews in regard to the pricing- I think Im out approximately $12 or so after having bought the app+first episode and then the two remaining episodes. If episode 1s length and meat so to speak is any indication of the future episodes, then Im not be the happiest of campers.
Episode 1 was a $2.99 value at best and thats factoring in TWD brand value.
Please note that it truly is a great game; there just needs to be more of it for the price thats being charged.
Amendment- Im quite fed up with Telltale not being able to hold to their release dates. Dont take my money and tell me Im gonna have something on a certain day and then go "Oh so sorry, were doing what we can, but everyone else is playing it and enjoying it." Its like Telltale is learning how to develop games and run a business all over again every time they "release" a game. Too much dreaming and promising and too little delivery and accountability. Get it together. Youre supposed to be professionals. You cant meet a simple deadline then hire more or new people that know what theyre doing.
