    This is in my opinion the worst telltale game, that doesn't mean the game is bad, the biggest problem of it is that it never gets very interesting or compelling like the other telltales games such as TWD, The wolf among us, GOT and borderlands.

    Although not as prolific as the Walking Dead series, Batman is a super interesting take on the Dark Knight.

Choose between being an insanely violent Batman, or the Batman with "rules", and decide the direction of Gotham and its people. The only obstacle I faced when it comes to WANTING to play more was the first episode. The first episode is clearly an introduction to who Bruce Wayne and he came to be Batman. We all know how Bruce Wayne came to be Batman. I thought the introduction was completely redundant. That said, after that I was totally hooked. So many twists and turns, not to mention choices that really made me consider the consequences for. It was not easy. My biggest gripe is the engine. Outdated and inconsistent the so called Telltale tool engine is a "ball and chain" to telltale games. Horrid frame rates, consistent crashes and sometimes ridiculous lag spikes really take away from the overall experience. I just don't get it. This engine has been a problem for Telltale since the first Walking Dead season. Several series, and seasons later we are still seeing the same, which gives me the impression that Telltale just doesn't care. They really should because it is starting to show incompetence. Telltale games aren't doing anything technically demanding. It is simple as simple can be so my question is why? Why can't we get these games running as intended? Supposedly the engine used for Batman is a new engine yet here we are again. Ok. Rant over. Despite all of that, Batman is worth playing, and at 25 bucks its a lot of bang for your buck. A note to Telltale if they happen to see this: Please, Please, Please for the love of Christ, fix your engine! This is insane, and quite frankly there is just no excuse for this in 2016!… Expand

    If you've ever wanted to don Batman's cape and cowl and be put in his shoes, then 'Batman: The Telltale Series' is the game for you. Here, you're not just fighting crime as the Caped Crusader, you're fighting his moral battles as well.

After playing the game, I found a whole new gaming genre that fit my interests. I enjoy action based games but sometimes its nice to sit back and enjoy a well written story. After that I tried The Walking Dead (Season 1), The Wolf Among Us, Life is Strange and of course my favorite Tales from the Borderlands. So when I found out that Telltale Games was making a Batman game, I was ecstatic. I found a new game genre that I love, throw in the fact that I’m a bit of D.C. nerd and you have a game thats right up my alley.

    Some of you might not even know what Telltale Games are so they’re a small/indie Developing (and Publishing) company that specialize in graphic adventure video games. The games are usually split up into 5 episodes and each episode is approximately 2 hours long so the entire games usually takes about 10 hours to complete. The gameplay itself is usually simplistic, you have very limited movement when controlling your character and all action sequences are handled by quick time events. The biggest aspect of the gameplay is the very in-depth talk paths, you ultimately get to chose everything your character has to say. This may not sound very exciting but these games are driven by the narrative and by putting you in difficult moral dilemmas. Even if it is just a video game, its never easy choosing gets to live and and has to die.

    That’s a quick run through how Telltale Games play and work but how does that translate to this new Batman game? Knowing that Batman doesn’t kill so I was very curious, how Telltale was going to deal with this since most moral dilemmas revolve in Telltale games revolve death but with this game that obviously couldn’t happen. I think Telltale did a great job with this, you often times have to chose between saving one person or another who (is it whom?) are not necessarily in life or death scenarios but they’re certainly in precarious situations. There are also situations where you have to chose between going to an event either as Batman or Bruce Wayne. Both options have their pros and cons so you have to weigh it out and pick what you think is the best option.

    Where this game really nails it is, its not necessarily an interpretation of Batman but rather it gives you option for you to chose the type of Batman you want to be. Do you want to send a message to the criminals of Gotham by being absolutely Brutal or do you want to work within the law a little more and by more merciful when it comes to dealing with the criminals. A cool feature at the end of the game actually rates you between being merciful and brutal. In case anyone is wondering, I ended up with a 92% merciful rating so obviously I chose the law-abiding approach.

    Although I really enjoyed this game, it does have some issues that need to be addressed. The biggest issue of this game is the fact that it has some serious frame rate issues. In some cutscenes, the frame rate ends up tanking and it can make the gaming experience a little less enjoyable. It bothers me because if a game has frame rate issues in cutscenes that means its poorly optimized. The good news is there have been patches released to fix most of these frame rate issues but if you bought the game in 6 months, you’re still likely to run into a few.

    My only other complaint with the game is, episodes 4 and 5 just feel shorter than usual. Both of these episodes ended up taking an hour and a half so they feel shorter than the first 3 episodes. It certainly didn’t feel like the story was poorly edited and moments were cut out but I can’t help but feel like the game could have been an hour longer.

    I have watched a lot of animated Batman movies, TV’s shows, Live Action Batman Movies and have even played a few Batman video games and I think Telltale did the best job with Bruce Wayne. Instead of the game feeling like another Batman story, its Batman and Bruce Wayne. You play as both equally and they both have very interesting story arcs. In some ways, its almost more fun to play as Bruce Wayne than it is Batman.

    Since this is a narrative based video game, the story is obviously the most important aspect of the entire game and Telltale does a great job of it.The game kept me on the edge of my seat for most of it and although I don’t want to spoil anything but I do want to mention that they had a very interesting story arc with the Wayne’s family history. What also got me very excited about the story is, its not all about the Joker. Nothing against the Joker but it just seems like he’s a bit overused and its nice to see some other Batman villains get a chance to be in the spotlight.    … Expand

I'm not saying its a bad game, its just that I expected from this game to deliver just like Telltale did with Walking Dead Season 1 & 2 and also The Wolf Among Us.

    Batman in this game is really awesome and trust me He is the best thing in this game, Catwomen had her charm and was an interesting character, James Gordon didn't felt like a powerful character because he had less screen time, & Hervey Dent felt more of a beggar then a politician.

    Now don't get me wrong by telling about the characters because its just my perception about these characters maybe others who are playing may like them. There are some scenes where you get so much in to it because the scenes are so tense but this happens 2 or 3 times in this game.

    Story is good, Batman is amazing and the point where you have to create links is amazing because you get so much involve to find answers and when you do it feels really good.

    So the final verdict is that if you are a telltale series fan then you should definitely try this game because this Game may have its ups and downs but overall its a good game.    … Expand

But with that out of the way, after finally finishing the game a couple of days later, I found also its biggest strengths: a very engaging dive into the dark knight's persona, his emotional scars and the weight of his choices, some very nicely put story moments and some well handled branches that really feel meaningful. So all in all, Batman: A telltale series is a flawed game that nevertheless presents an overall well crafted story of the dark knight and it's probably the best game to handle the Bruce Wayne part of the character so far, and that barring a few disappointing moments, it does things well enough to satisfy me as a fan. Can't recommend for everyone though, specially if this point and click games aren't your thing, but if you are a Batman fan, pick it up, you won't regret it. Final verdict: 7.1… Expand

    Really enjoyed it. Was like experiencing a Batman comic through a different narrative.
    Story was interesting, enjoyed the characters, didn't appreciate telltales unique take on the characters design at first but I have got to admit, It grew on me while playing the game.

    Good game, recommend getting it on sale since it doesn't have much of a replay value.

None of your choices *truly* affect the outcome in ways that are significant, but they are good writers, and you WILL be entertained. That said, they need to do something fresh with the formula, because it's 100% starting to get stale. Changing the settings and stories can only work for so long when it's obvious that the player's ability to actually influence the story is minimized by the system in which the story takes place.

I wish Telltale games would put some effort into their games' difficulty. They can include the game as-is, but make that the super easy setting for non-gamers. They can add meaningful choices and real puzzles that actually require thought, for a harder setting. Telltale has everything in place to make games that are every bit as good as Lucas Arts in its heyday, but they just don't seem to want to go there, preferring instead to make games that look fantastic and tell great stories, but really do not rate as games at all. Your average Nancy Drew point and click game is far more challenging than this, and frankly is better as a game.… Expand

And I'm stil being generous with that score! I'll explain why.

    The Telltale series games are starting to feel like all are the same... same techniques, same mechanics... very few changes or innovations.

    Back on summer we all were like 'OMG, a Batman game by Telltale! Finally more detective puzzles". Wrong. These are non-existent. There's one or two per episode, and they are as easy as click and read and just connect. Nothing that resembles to investigate nor think. Trial and error (if you can fail, lol).

    As said, these games are all starting to feel the same. You read, you choose, decide... The game makes you think your decisions are important, but they are not, except in very few occasions. You can be an **** and then be nice and the result will be the same.

    That brings us to the story. It's fine, but not exceptional. It's almost the very beginnings of Batman's crusade, so he's a bit green. With that, the story introduces us to the typical Batman's foes, yet modernized: Two Face, Falcone, Penguin, Catwoman... and a bit of The Joker, whom, just like in the movie "Suicide Squad", you expect more of him but you get a bit dissapointed (SPOILER: although he isn't presented yet as a Batman's enemy in this storyline, to be fair). As a fan of Batman, I wanted more, but feels right.

    Once more, the game experience: I've already talked about the decisions system and the detective parts, now comes the more 'dynamique' sections: the fights. Of course, it's a Telltale game, you can't expect it to be super dynamique: for that, we have the Rocksteady games. But once more, just like the decisions, it doesn't matter again: if you fail the moves, Batman will still hit and win. In very scarce moments a fail means 'Game Over'. You could sometimes leave the gamepad still and win. LIKE THAT. It'd been ideal if, you failed a move, the combat would prolongate, or the combat result would change even if a bit.

    For last... well, I played the PS3 version, but still, this game's graphics look like they come from a PS2 and yet the frame rate is insulting, at time the game it's very slow, which is bothering during a fight. And then another annoying thing is how the game is constantly loading, and sometimes every 10 seconds it stops for 2-3 seconds before jumping to the next scene. I don't know if it happens with the PS4/XBOne/PC versions, but the PS3 one it gets annoying. Same comes with the texts sometimes (specialy the Spanish version, with tons of mistakes and sometimes they translate it wrong, or forget to), yet the voice acting is acceptable.

    And with that, my last review of the year. If you ever are going to buy it, do it when it is very cheap, or on some Steam Sale. If not, then I'd recommend playing the The Walking Dead series, or The Wolf Among US (I ignore if Game of Thrones is any good, and I'm looking forward to Guardians of The Galaxy nex year).    … Expand

    I liked the story, and I liked how the plot is all about Bruce Wayne more than the villains: it was a nice change from the usual and I was surprised by some twists.

    But still, the game felt too slow in some parts and some dialogues and scenes don't seem to fit. I don't know how to say, but it missed the "oomph" that would've made the game much more memorable. Instead, it just feels like    I liked the story, and I liked how the plot is all about Bruce Wayne more than the villains: it was a nice change from the usual and I was surprised by some twists.

Instead, it just feels like any other adventure game ...just with less adventure and more quick time events.

    It didn't help how the game tried to make it look like an investigation game in some parts: you can't do mistakes and there's no variable: it's either you do it or do not. There are no consequences really.

    Add the fact that it's highly unstable on ps4 (fps drops, crashes) despite not looking really complex (heck I think walking dead looked better), makes this port very questionable.

    I recommend it if you can get it cheap, or else either go to pc or another game entirely...    … Expand

    Great game and another job well done from Telltale but... it is buggy in places e.g at the end of each episode I needed to quit the game and reload in order to get off the screen that goes through and compares your choices from in the game and frame rate issues were also a bit off putting.

    Batman: The Telltale Series started strong and ended the same way, and with many characters’ fates left undecided and new characters appearing in the final act, a second season seems inevitable — I look forward to it.

    An underwhelming Batman game, but a great Bruce Wayne one. A satisfying counterpart to Rocksteady's Arkham games, but it won't win over Telltale naysayers. [Feb 2017, p.93]

    With so many Dark Knight adventures in our movies, TV, comics, and video games, you have to do something special to stand out. In the first few episodes, it looked like Batman: The Telltale Series might actually bottle lightning and create something excellent. But as the finale rolls in, it series fails to separate itself from the many Batman outings we’ve already experienced elsewhere.
