Telltale Games·Released Sep 20, 2016·Single player
Bruce investigates his family's legacy while an old friend becomes a deadly adversary.
The second installment of Telltale's Batman takes all of the solid foundations established by Episode 1, trims most of the fat, and continues to build an engaging Dark Knight story in a unique and uncharted version of the D.C. legend’s universe. Old Bat-fans will get much more out of the unexpected twists and turns than a newcomer, but the relationships Bruce Wayne forms and develops with the people around him appeal equally.
Telltale gives Oswald Cobblepot some time in the limelight, but skimps on gameplay to do so.
An emotional roller-coaster ride that is often jolted by gun shots and unexpected plot developments
By trimming the fat, Telltale has delivered a much stronger episode in its fledgling Batman series. The story's beginning to take a shape of its own now, and more interesting personalities are beginning to come to the fore. While it still feels like the developer's laying foundations, this episode begins with a twist and goes out like a rocket – and that's how we'd like it to continue, thank you very much.
