    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. one word describes this Batman game BORING!, and the Characters looked Stupid especially Harvey Dent and Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, QTE's made no sense because even if you failed them you still won, you had next to no control over Bruce Wayne/Batman aside from walking around and looking at stuff (yay!) all Battles are done VIA the QTE system and as said above its not possible to fail them I regret buying this game and will not buy the rest of the Episodes… Expand

    Telltale games are the masters of pretending that your choices matter. These games annoy me to no end. Absolutely non of your choices effect the games story or outcome at all. For a game that's supposed to be a choose your own adventure, there's basically no consequence in any of your actions. Not to mention the graphics are horrible

    An apparently new and improved game engine is anything but, with regular framerate drops on PS4, bizarrely stilted animations, and sound effects cutting out entirely during action sequences further deadening the impact of already sloppily edited fight scenes. [Nov 2016, p.121]

    A promising, if not stellar start. It may be wise to see if the rest of the season soars before putting your faith in this particular version of the Caped Crusader. [Oct 2016, p.95]

    While I can’t say much about Batman as a series yet, what I can say is that I enjoyed my two hours as both Bruce and Batman. It’s a solid beginning for the caped crusader.
