    Unfortunately, the story, at least in Fractured Mask, is, at times, very verbose and unmanaged.

    Rebounding from a weak second episode, Batman: The Enemy Within’s third episode restores my hopes that this season will turn out well. Major developments around Batman’s big secret and strong interactions with Harley Quinn, Selina Kyle, and John make Fractured Mask work, right up until the extremely abrupt ending.

    Telltale struggles to get it right with the Dark Night and make the game he deserves. A very disappointing episode that asks –again– for a change in the formula.

    We’ve learned what the rogues are after, but at the halfway point in the series, we still don’t know why. With only two episodes left, Telltale needs to raise the stakes and ramp up the urgency of Batman’s mission.

    Episode 3 of Batman: The Enemy Within adequately follows through with some earlier plot points, but it doesn't do much else.

    Batman’s third episode from season two does enough to keep the overall story ticking over, but a crowded narrative and confusing relationships mean this is the low point so far. Episode four will have to do much better.

    Although there is some excellent work put in by Catwoman and John Doe, Fractured Mask is ultimately just a series of "Choose A or B" conversations, taking place in overly-familiar locales, with stakes not quite as high as the game would have you believe.
