Batman - The Telltale Series

Интересно

Good Story and immersive gameplay, recommended

A lot of minor writing issues pile up by the end of this, making me enjoy the experience but walk away with some annoying thoughts. The game was fun, but this Batman is dumb as hell, easily manipulated, outplayed, and overall underwhelming. You can play to the kind of Batman you want him to be, maybe more Frank Miller, less Chris Nolan, but you'll never be the World's Greatest Detective. There are also very, very few instances of Batman figuring things out on his own. Batman constantly talks to someone over the radio during his detective scenes, and the side character provides either useless commentary or spells out what Batman is figuring out to the audience as soon as we put the clue together in the puzzle ourselves. The side characters also often comment on the morality of the bad guys, explicitly spelling out to the player (and Batman, I guess) that the bad guy is... shockingly, a bad guy. I'd still say to check it out. Was a fun enough game, but a lot of little things kept standing out to me that I couldn't help but pick apart. Near the end, there's an instance where you are to choose whether Lucius Fox continues to work at Wayne Tech or privately for Batman. The outcome of keeping him at Wayne Tech seemed to have zero impact on how things played out, and he ended up finding me in the Batcave to work for me anyway. That really frustrated me. Otherwise, fine enough game. Telltale never having replaced their engine is the largest technical downside. Batman's idiocy is the largest writing downside. Overall B-, still worth picking up on sale but boy oh boy was that not *my* Batman at any point.
