Batman - The Telltale Series PC

Honestly, I think this is an interesting take on the Batman lore and character along with giving the player plenty of time and chances to play as Bruce himself. (Which is one of my personal favourite aspects of the game as a fan of the comics.)

This is a Telltale game, obviously. I mean, it's in the title, but I bring attention to this because if you've never played a Telltale game or similar variations on the episodic narrative focused genre, then you'll be disappointed by the mechanics. QuickTime events are what you'll be interacting with the most when taking out the time sensitive dialogue choosing portion of the game. As someone who is a massive fan of these kinds of games and has played them for years, this is no problem for me, but people who are maybe wanting a Batman game in the same vein as the Arkham games, you will not find this here mechanically!

My only wish is that the choices you made a bit more impact or had more of a change on the story, but alas that is how most of these games go with the illusion of choice and along with having to most likely stick to a character outline of what Bruce/Batman is allowed to be seen doing by DC and then the even stricter hand of WB.

The voice acting in this game is also wonderful too. with my favourite performances coming from Travis Willingham as Harvy Dent, Laura Bailey as Selina Kyle and of course the incredibly talented Troy Baker as the Bat himself. My only issue with the voice acting is the cutting of some of the lines can feel incredibly unnatural, but then again, that's what you come to expect with these kinds of games.

With an incredibly interesting story and some new takes on familiar characters, I feel that this game is most definitely worth your time if you're a fan of the Bat.
