This specific game was a colossal failure. Generally, in story-driven games, you don't expect action or a fast-paced plot, but rather a good story and meaningful choices. This game is downright indifferent at best. Its story starts off as uninteresting and ends up incredibly boring. Additionally, even if you know nothing about the character Batman, 80% of the events are terribly predictable. The possible dialogues you can choose from often have minimal variation. The worst part is that these potential choices the game gives you have minimal impact on the story's progression. The game consists of 5 episodes, each containing 5 "serious" choices. If you play the game again (heroes) changing your gameplay style, you will still end up with the same outcomes. That's where the issue lies with the game, as well as with the company, and the main reason it shut down. The player's influence on the story's development becomes increasingly smaller. The things you can do are minimal. The graphics did not improve. There were and still are bugs and frame drops. Of course, all of these could be overlooked if the story was exceptional. Unfortunately, even the character Batman was not enough to save the game. It is also sad that this particular game essentially fell behind in order to release another unfinished sequel (Batman: The Enemy Within). If you haven't played the game yet, at these prices of 10-15 euros, I don't think it's worth your attention. The best games from the company are the first season of The Walking Dead and Tales from the Borderlands. If you didn't like those, then this one definitely won't convince you either. The only good aspect of the game is that it gives you an easy trophy at the end, but it's so boring that it's highly likely you won't even reach that point!

Telltale, being well-known in the video game industry for creating story-driven games, successfully attempted, in my opinion, to create its own version of the Bruce Wayne and Batman lore. In detail:
- Story: We find ourselves in Gotham City during a period where criminal activity is thriving at a rapid pace, resulting in the city's police force struggling to deal with the various criminals who make life difficult in Gotham. In this context, the vigilante Batman, who is not yet considered an ally by the police, takes on the fight against crime, trying to bring as many criminals as possible to justice. In this particular game, we take control of both Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego, Batman, which adds a nice sense of immersion for the player as they have to choose between the two in crucial moments to face each situation (it is one of the few - if not the only - titles that emphasizes the life and relationships of Bruce Wayne). Throughout the story, the player will encounter Catwoman, Penguin, mob boss Carmine Falcone, Mayor Hill, and many others, both good and bad, while Alfred Pennyworth will be by the side of both Batman and Bruce. Obviously, with all the game's characters, Batman or Bruce will form either friendships or enemies, and early in the game, a secret is revealed that threatens to destroy the entire Wayne legacy and name.
- Gameplay: Initially, the game consists of five episodes, each building its own plot. Batman: The Telltale Series, like the other Telltale games, is an interactive movie that relies almost entirely on QuickTime Events (QTE). In other words, the player must press either square, X, O, or triangle within a short period of time to make the character react or choose a response in each dialogue. As for the graphics, this particular game has the unique style of all Telltale games, where it feels like comics come to life on the screen. Throughout most of the game, which lasts around six to seven hours, I did not encounter any technical issues, although there were times when the game froze and crashed once, which was disappointing.
In conclusion, Telltale's approach to the Batman story is very interesting and original, making me eagerly await the completion of the game's second season. However, the technical issues plaguing the title, as well as the deception that the player's decisions can change the already predetermined course of the story, are the negatives that prevent the title from standing out. Nonetheless, I believe it is worth the investment at €15.
