This game is um... subpar but enjoyable at times. The best way to put it. This is one of Telltale's weakest game as far as story and gameplay goes. The story did pull me in at the first episode but it got really uninteresting mid-way. Playing as Batman was very fun and one thing this does well is playing as Bruce Wayne, this is one part that the Arkham games don't do as much (the parts where you would play as Bruce in the Arkham games are very miniscule) and the choices you do affects the outcome. Another thing I would address is the platform I played it on. I don't know how it is on others, but PS4 it ran like trash. Most parts were really good but it was severely unoptimized with the parts in the Batcave. I will keep my eyes on the DLC and hopefully I can play that very soon. I would recommend it to Batman fans but as a game in general, it does have faults and sometimes can be annoying.
A good title, good batman story, very rich and very crowded of moral dilemmas (as a good batman comic). About gameplay Nothing special and complicated at all, all commands are very simple and have no great influence in the scenes however if you do not hit that buttons on the right time, you will probably see a "try again screen". In resume: telltale being telltale.
Much different from the games I play usually but the story was so amazing. What I know about batman lies usually on the superhero or the saviour of gotham side, but here I got to see the Bruce Wayne side of things and how that affects batman and everything around him, therefore I will forever have a soft spot for this game.
I enjoy the telltale games and this game was another good one. I love this version of batman he has a lot of good moments and emotion and it feels more impactful since you decide what you say or do. The graphics are mediocre at best but the characters are fantastic and a big strong point of the game. A big reason the game works so well is just because of its simple batman story. It isn't anything incredibly unique but it is just a regular pretty fun batman story and I love batman so it works out. Overall pretty good game and ill play the second series sometime soon. 7/10

Honestly, I expected this to be pretty bad. Even if I really like Telltale, based on what people said this felt like it would be their downfall. But to my surprise this was a REALLY entertaining experience. Let me just say first of all that on games like this, Telltale or anything like it, I really don't care about gameplay. I play them solely for the story.
That said, this was actually a surprisingly audacious and creative take on a Batman story. It went mostly the opposite way of what you might expect from the classic "orphan billionaire turned bat-vigilante" story. Yeah it has some familiar elements, but I would actually argue that Telltale's writers were pretty bold in major aspects and still made justice to the source material. Yeah it has its corny moments, but c'mon, it's a fucking superhero story. The ending though was a bit awkward as it tried to create hype for the 2nd season. Most of the final moments actually felt like an edgy PS2 game, but the journey towards them was pretty good, and at times, actually kinda brilliant.
If this was a movie or a TV show, with better pacing and great directing, I'm sure a whole lot more people would dig it.

História bacana, acho que os personagens são boas representações das suas versões dos quadrinhos, me deparei com poucos bugs e no geral sem muitas reclamações. (Obs: demorei a zerar n pelo jogo ser ruim, e sim porque na época estava com vários problemas e quando voltei a jogar, preferi zerar outros)
El juego esta lleno de bugs, diálogos que no aparecen o aparecen sin traducir, texturas bugueadas o inexistentes, decisiones que has tomado y luego se menciona lo contrario a lo elegido, crashes... Desconozco si la versión de ps4 funciona así de mal o si es debido a jugar en ps5, en cualquier caso empeora la experiencia. En cuanto a nivel de historia no es lo mejor de telltale o batman, pero si es entretenido. Jugablemente en la lineal de telltale, aunque siento menos libertad para explorar escenarios que en otros juegos. Lo mejor es poder compaginar entre Bruce y Batman, prácticamente ningún juego te deja disfrutar de eso.

Not bad at all. The story was engaging with likeable characters and I had a good time. I feel like I like Batman stuff more because of this game which I would never expect.
My most noticeable negative is that I thought the Jokers voice actor was pretty bad and even cringe, his model was odd and just everything about him felt off. He's probably the worst portrayal of Joker I've seen other than Jared Leto's. Two face on the other hand was great and I liked seeing his transformation to develop the split personality. Penguin was also unique and it was refreshing to not see him again as a bald stinky midget.
I wish the game had decisions that actually matter, I did everything I could to save Two-Face and prevent him from becoming evil but the game just wouldn't let me, everything happens as planned regardless and you don't have much control, other than a few minor changes such as how a character likes you more than another or different dialogue options. Because of this, it's not very repayable but I was still very much entertained so I can move past this. TWD Telltales games are the exact same way and some of my favorite games I've ever played, so I can't really criticize one over the other.
I'm looking forward to playing the sequel.
