Oct 25, 2016Batman: The Telltale Series - Episode 3 "New World Order" is a weaker episode, but with a series this strong that isn't saying too much. Technical issues are still a problem, but the storytelling and acting more than make up for it. The episode could have used more punch and less of a cliffhanger ending, but it serves its purpose well in transitioning us from the explosive second episode and toward the apparent endgame of the final two entries.
-
Oct 25, 2016Overall, Episode 3 feels like a middle episode. The story had some wonderful beats, with a beautiful middle section that blends Batman and Bruce’s problems together nicely, but it ends with a hard cut that practically begs for the next episode to start rather than providing a break in the action.
-
Oct 26, 2016The narrative picks up the slack, and despite a slow start, it builds into a nice crescendo and naturally, a cliffhanger.
-
Nov 3, 2016Telltale's Batman series has passed the halfway point--and, unfortunately, Episode 3 fails to raise the stakes, present a fresh take on Bruce Wayne, or take the narrative in an interesting new direction.
-
Oct 31, 2016A low point for the series, both in gameplay and narrative cohesion.
-
Oct 27, 2016Episode 3 of Telltale’s Batman series is another solid entry, and continues to lay plenty of groundwork for later down the line. A bit more of anything when it comes to actually being The Dark Knight would be nice, mind.
-
Oct 26, 2016The cliffhanger left us waiting for the last two episodes, but didn't make us forget how slow this episode was and how little our decisions mattered.
