    City of Lights has some of the best storytelling that Telltale has ever accomplished; it’s no wonder story is what they’re most known for.

    A wonderfully different dive into the Caped Crusader’s past culminates in a worthy chapter that further defines his future, and small problems aside, I could not be happier with the way it all went down.

    A fantastic conclusion to this great series. The episode is a perfect amalgamation of everything that has worked so well in the series so far. It is also a massive improvement over its predecessors in a number of ways, and it takes the story began four episodes ago and ends it in a very satisfactory way. This is all on top of fixing most of the technical problems that have plagued the series over these last few episodes, delivering a finale that cements this as one of Telltale's best series to date.

    While I didn't have any trouble seeing this season through per se -- as the amazing action choreography helped -- City of Light did run out of gas once most of the major players bowed out. But truth be told, Telltale has created a strong universe to keep expanding on, and as long as it can keep supplanting well-known characters in the future, I can see an excuse to keep making this series more than any of its other projects to date.

    City of Light is a good season-finale, which concludes all narrative lines of the previous episodes and introduces a new way to look at Bruce Wayne as a character.

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

    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.… Expand
