A Bruce Wayne simulator! Actually Telltale has given us a solid look at what its like to live with the duality of Batman. How do you balance being Bruce Wayne, and Batman without being obvious? How do your social choices affect how the public opinion sways? For someone like Batman, who feels that Bruce Wayne is the mask, you can appreciate that while you might not want to concentrate on being Wayne you have to at some point to maintain your cover PR.
What Worked?
LOVE the look of the game. I have been saying all along that Telltale should do superhero comics. I mean I wasn't saying it to them. Just to me. I mean myself. I liked my idea. Apparently someone did say it to them though because here we are and it works great!
I liked the combat. I wasn't sure if I would in this type of game but it felt good. Its not Arkham. It's a series of QTE's strung together but in ways that keep you on your toes. I also liked the point in the story where you plan your assault on the bad guy's lair. That was fun to plan and then play through.
I loved Catwoman. I mean who doesn't? Speaking of which the voice acting in this was solid. I'm a huge fan of Troy Baker and Laura Bailey and they deliver as always.
What Didn't Work?
Stealth is tricky in a game like this. I'm hoping that future episodes improve, or expand on this. Detective work was also weak. I liked it, I thought it was cool, but it felt pinned on.
Recommend?
Yes, totally. This was a blast so far. Episode 1 certainly setup what looks like a great story and leaves you on a cliffhanger that makes you think. I recommend it for Batman fans, superhero fans in general, and even Telltale fans overall. They (Telltale) never cease to amaze me
