I would give anything to get a third one of these, just a fun Batman tale, bit janky given their engine was showing its age by this point. But I still enjoyed it.
One of the better ones
Un po' buggato, ma buon inizio.
Batman: The Telltale Series gives you a whole new look into Bruce Wayne's world. You make tough calls as both Batman AND Bruce, which really affects how the story plays out. The action sequences are super quick and cinematic, and the Telltale art style fits the dark tone of Gotham perfectly. It has some glitches and occasional slowdowns, and the choices don't ALWAYS feel super impactful, but if you're into Batman and Telltale's style of games, this is a seriously gripping story.
Why’d Batman choose that? Is he stupid?
Outside a few visual bugs, the gameplay experience was fairly okay. Regarding the story, well - there are a lot of things it does right and also a lot of things that it doesn't. Many of the plotlines feel like reiteration of existing batman media. Although the presentation generally does the storylines justice, sometimes it just falls flat. Many animations look unpolished. The voice acting is phenomenal but again, it's sometimes let down by the animations. It is also not all that consistent - some parts feel like a drag whereas some parts feel horribly rushed, especially episode 5. Episodes 3 and 4 strike the best balance in my opinion. What this game does exceptionally well is the portrayal of Bruce Wayne and the situations the player is put in while they're in his shoes. Overall, this game's a mixed bag but still enjoyable, especially for a batman fan.
