(Hell, by the writing of this review, DC just approved a film of the Gotham City Sirens). Batman’s such a reliable fixture that multiple characters and spin-offs are added as a continuation of it. After more than 75 years in the spotlight, the story of Bruce Wayne avenging his fallen parents by dressing up as a Bat, has been told, retold, rebooted, deconstructed, parodied, mocked and had all sorts of things done to it and still more media outlets continue to tell this story again and again. But, for those who aren’t sure, get it on sale or watch a playthrough of it.īatman was always one of those properties that continued to be a mainstay in popular culture. If you’re a fan of either, go ahead and pick it up. It’s an okay Batman story for an okay Telltale game. Some good performances and plot turns keep things interesting, but you can’t help but feel the story is playing it safe while your choices continue to have little to no major impacts on the plot. My Verdict: Not as good as Telltale’s the Walking Dead: Season 1 or Tales from the Borderlands, but not as disastrous as Telltale’s Jurassic Park or Game of Thrones, Telltale’s Batman sits comfortably in the middle of its library. While Telltale has released patches to fix these issues, the fact remains that a game ‘this’ graphically demanding, requiring a next gen console or absurdly high specs for PC, shouldn’t be having this number of issues, especially with Telltale’s continued embrace of cartoon graphics. In the latest episode, a floating set of eyes and teeth were seen flying around, when I realized that was supposed to be an NPC but the bugs rendered the NPC invisible. On the PS4, the game almost slows down to a crawl trying to load the scenes, the shadow effects sometimes stutter, pop-up textures and I had numerous instances where the game crashed on me and I had to restart the game.
Even on my High End PC (which can run Gears of War 4 and The Witcher 3 without a problem), I was getting mismatched lip-sync, framerate drops, and long loading times. Performance Issues: While Telltale’s Batman story might be good, MAN does it have huge technical problems. Episodes are packaged individually at 5 USD per episode but are sold as a season to access all the story content. 5 Hours for initial playthrough and 6 Hours for playthrough going through alternate choices.
