Batman: The Telltale Series

The story itself is very good but the game is bogged down by an increasingly annoying amount of technical issues such as lag spikes, crashing, audio cutting out and graphical errors

I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a Telltale games fanboy. It's not that they can't do any wrong, it's just that they very rarely do.

Though a fan of DC & Marvel I've never quite seen the fascination with Batman so I wasn't bowled over upon hearing that this was being made. I wasn't overly concerned however as Telltale seem able to make a great game out of any franchise. I dislike the Walking Dead show and the Borderlands game series but adored the Telltale adaptations.

Batman the Telltale game has a solid storyline as you'd imagine, it looks great, it plays great and is yet another success all round. One thing that did surprise me is how merciful it, Telltale have a long history of breaking your heart and killing off characters but here it's really quite tame stuff.

This however didn't dampen it's quality and I'd consider this essential for both Telltale & Batman fans alike.

It tells the story of Waynes world crashing down around him as his family name is dragged through the mud, his friendships fall apart and the Children Of Arkham start ravaging the city.

It's all done very well and I applaud Telltale once again for making a solid game around a franchise I'm never overwhelmed with.

The Good:

Looks great

Solid voice acting

Very well put together story

The Bad:

Bit more glitchy than the average Telltale game

Really does make up its own lore

Things I Learnt From This Game:

I don't remember Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale being like that!

Alfred is a badass

Wauw this telltale game blew me away. I love that you can play Batman or Bruce Wayne in the way you want the character to be. Every choice you makes changes the story for the worst or better. This is almost a masterpiece to me but the stiff walking when you are not talking to your friends or foes ruins this game a bit. I love this game, its just the perfect Batman simulator and if you love the bat universe like me you have to play this game.

A strong story line which focuses not only on the agile vigilante Batman but revolves around a wonderfully portrayed biography of Bruce Wayne. Mind blowing graphics authenticated with a neat display of voice acting by the cast and a great continuity makes this a real treat - to keep playing; ... and to sink deeper and deeper into this incredible story-line. Truly a must play by TELLTALE. Hats off!!!

It's a Batman game, but like, Telltale made it, so the story is interesting, but the gameplay is janky af.

RIP Telltale/10
