POTATO. Told ya, I'm gonna write anything I want. Anyways, today I'm reviewing Batman: The Telltale Series, developed and published by Telltale Games.
Platforms: PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, PC
NOTE ABOUT THE SUMMARY: I'm trying to stay away from including player choices in the summary, so some events may seem like there are big gaps between some events.
Summary: A young Bruce Wayne has recently taken up the role of Batman, when after attempting to stop a burglary at city hall, mob boss Carmine Falcone arrives at Wayne Manor for a campaign fundraiser party for Harvey Dent's mayoral campaign. Him being seen with Bruce sparks suspicion, which leads to the media discovering that Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, had been working with Falcone and the corrupt mayor of Gotham, Hamilton Hill, and stealing money from people. This puts Bruce under a lot of heat, even losing him the CEO position of Wayne Enterprises to criminal Oswald Cobblepot. While Bruce deals with the heat, Batman investigates further into the city hall robbery after discovering that the burglar was Selina Kyle, AKA Catwoman. At a mayoral debate between current mayor of Gotham Hamilton Hill and District Attorney Harvey Dent, an attack by Cobblepot and the leader of a mysterious group called the Children of Arkham. During the attack, Hill was killed, making Harvey the mayor by default. However, Harvey was drugged during the attack, which started the process of transforming him into Two-Face. Many of Bruce's allies are lost, and Lady Arkham, leader of the Children of Arkham is unmasked, making Bruce question if the mask really is a mask.
Review: First of all, my summary gets a 0/10. Ok now for the actual review. This is my favorite Telltale game yet, and I LOVE the Walking Dead games and Tales From The Borderlands, but this game takes the cake. The gameplay is classic Telltale, with a little more combat scenes. The story is an amazing mystery story, with a reveal I didn't expect. The relationships you can forge with the characters is my favorite aspect of the game, I loved being able to choose which characters I wanted to have as allies. The only problems I have with this game is the ending didn't really add up to much except a teaser for the villain of season 2 (we all know what it is), and that the game occasionally had BIG frame rate drops and sometimes even crashed on PS4.
Final Score: 10/10 as a game, 5.5/10 for PS4 performance.
