![]() Telltale needs to go back to the drawing board and take more time for what they will plan with Season 2 if they want to keep more players engaged. Even if Vicki was the main antagonist, I had myself wishing that the main villain should’ve been Oswald or Harvey - both of them are really strong characters compared to Lady Arkham.Īs what I said, the story was just handed down to the table without having it polished to give a more impacting season finale. As what we all know, Vicki Vale, the news reporter from the Gazette, is Lady Arkham – the great leader of the Children Of Arkham. This happens to be different if you opted to save the Wayne Manor and sacrificed your tech. After what happened with Guardian of Gotham, I thought City of Light was going to give an intense closing - a finale that can make me want for more but Telltale instead added an action-packed ender that made everything convenient to hand the story down on the table just for the sake of ending the season.Įpisode 5 started off with the sequence where Bruce went back to the Wayne Manor to save Alfred and stop Harvey from destroying his multi-billion antique mansion into rubble. They gave a lot of twists with certain key characters but the plot direction of Guardian of Gotham and this season finale didn’t get me to applaud or excited for the next season, but left me hoping that Season 2 can bring the whole Telltale Batman story back to its feet.Ĭity of Light gave me hopes for a greater ending after the end of Episode 4, and that it can give us a slight glimpse of what’s going to happen in Season 2. There’s no doubt that Telltale’s version of Batman is really interesting. And that I hope Season 2 will start and end better than its first season. The season finale is out, and all I want to say is that I wasn’t too impressed with City of Light. Release Date: Aug( Realm of Shadows), Septem( Children of Arkham), Octo( New World Order), Novem( Guardian of Gotham), Decem( City of Light) But Batman knocks it out of the park.Platforms Available: PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, iOS, Android Telltale usually has great voice work – it is practically necessary for their plot heavy, cinematic games. A few characters that seemed weak in the beginning of the series have blossomed (Bruce Wayne himself and Harvey Dent), while characters who started strong, like Cobblepot, Catwoman, Alfred, and Vicki Vale, all continue to impress. The voice acting and characterization in New World Order are top notch. ![]() Battling Batman’s foes works surprisingly well, even if it is just an extended QTE. They remind me a good deal of the excellent finale to Tales from the Borderlands. Even though a quick restart to almost the exact spot you failed is one click away, the fights are dramatic and tense. Even when you are inputting incorrectly, it sometimes feels like Batman might get overwhelmed and succumb anyway. Particularly the fight near the end of the episode with several goons and an extremely powerful fighter. The big Batman fights in this episode are, admittedly, not terribly difficult, but they are a blast to watch. I absolutely love Telltale’s take on Bruce Wayne and the classic Batman trope of possibly being the cause of as many or more problems as he solves factors really well into the “pick your poison” mentality of the game. Some of the plot points seem like the occur a little too conveniently, but this is obviously to drive the action forward and keep things interesting throughout. It is both familiar and unique, leading you down a path you think is regularly traveled, then pulling the rug out from under you with some new twists on very familiar characters. The biggest concern comes from the big choices which, while they certainly feel big and impactful, seem to have little to no consequence on the overall storyline.Īs stated above, the story in Batman is phenomenal. The detective mechanics, which seemed like they could be very interesting in the first episode, have been severely underused and are essentially a “walk back and forth, trying every combination” event. The animation is clunky and broken in certain places. Framerate issues are surprisingly common. Though I do really wish that was Morgan Freeman talking.Īt the same time, all the common complaints about Telltale’s games are compounded in their version of Batman.
