    An enjoyable experience with a disappointing final act. There's still plenty of potential left, if Season 2 ever comes along.

    This episode is an ok ending for the season, but it's time for Telltale to reconsider their formula. Even though it's not broken yet, it doesn't work anymore as it used to.

    All the plot points needed are resolved, however can feel rushed, with characters not really getting the development they deserve. At an hour and a half to play this could leave you wanting more, but will probably just leave you wondering what could have been.

    Telltale wraps up its Batman story in mediocre fashion, but the series as a whole is still worth your time if you consider yourself a Dark Knight fan.

    With Batman, Telltale took a huge gamble by reimagining established heroes and villains, and skewing the comic’s plot in a different direction. It could have been a tremendous success but, lacking the foundations of a story worthy of its characters, the end result is storied and often incohesive, even within individual chapters. Gotham deserved better.

First of all, it barely makes any sense why Vicki was the main villain, but it doesn't really effect the gameplay. What does is that if you watch the first 2 episodes, they give you so much mystery and excitement for the next episode. They could have made this episode a lot stronger, as this episode felt like a clean-up for the other episodes. Overall, the game has framerate issues and the choices do matter a bit, but it feels like a Season 2 wouldn't fit in.… Full Review »
