    Okay, so technical issues aside Batman – The Telltale Series is worth checking out. If you happen to live inside the Venn diagram of people who enjoyed Rocksteady’s Arkham series and like to play Telltale-style adventure games, then it’s a must. Or, if you’re simply a fan of the comic book series.

    A few action-related missteps don't stop this being a decent first season. [Feb 2017, p.86]

    Batman: The Telltale Series is not very new in gameplay. The love for the franchise is there, the authentic story feels real, but the game does not offer enough action or surprises.

    In the end Batman feels like a rough start, and if I wasn’t such a fan of the characters, I am not sure I would come back for more. However, being such a huge fan I find myself wanting to see where it goes, warts and all, which is something Telltale seriously needs to address. This engine has been chugging along far too long, and instead of acquiring new licenses for properties, it might be time to take a break and build a new engine, one that can handle these grand narratives they are trying to build.

    An interesting new environment for the storytelling of Batman with the classic Telltale's style but the result is too bad.

    Batman: The Telltale Series gives the bitter and the sweet. On one hand, it’s nice to see the story of Gotham’s villains from another point of view, and know Batman’s human side is inspiring too. On the other hand, it’s incomprehensible how Telltale still brings us a game with a second rate Spanish translation, a shabby technical section or some increasingly petty and easy quick time events.

    A decent Telltale game. The story is appealing and engaging. I would recommend playing between big titles.

The story is easy toThe story of this game was really well done, and I personally think that Telltale really outdone themselves once again. The story is easy to follow, and there are lots of decisions to make in this game, and that is what this company does well.

    You might be thinking, "Why are you giving it a 7 out of 10?" Let me tell you why. The game, four years after it came out, IS STILL BUGGY! At some points, assets take their time to load, and at one point, Batman was beating up invisible people and talking to an invisible person. I watched a clip on YouTube to see if this was working correctly, and sure enough, it was not. I was supposed to see Batman beat up thugs, and then talk to a cop that was almost killed by the thugs. The only minor criticism I have is the super ability, which I feel does not need a meter because you are gonna use it during the scripted events. There is never a time where you need it and you can't use it because the meter isn't full.

    I do recommend playing this game, despite the glitches, be overall, it was a stable game that was super awesome.    … Expand

Sadly, small glitches are present, some choices feel forced and the dialog is adequate. I zoned out in a couple of episodes. Nonetheless, this is certainly worth experiencing for Batman or Telltale fans.… Expand
