Batman The Telltale Series (All Episode 5)

=9kj2SNGFarMCity of Light picks up where Episode 4 left off, and because of that, it will start in entirely different places for everyone depending on the choices you made in Episode 4, especially near the end. It does a good job tying everything back together, and setting Batman off toward stopping Lady Arkham as she tries to lay waste to the entirety of Gotham. Telltale Games has shown their darker side before, especially in The Walking Dead series that they also do, but this episode has a much darker tone than the rest of the episodes in Batman: The Telltale Series. Depending on some of the choices you make as either Bruce Wayne or Batman, certain events can play out that make it even darker as well. It was refreshing to see this side of Gotham and the Batman universe within the game world, and it was handled well enough that it didn't feel overly out of place. And it never felt too gruesome either.The action sequences are once again some of the best that Telltale has done to date, and even with the occasional slowdown that players have come to expect from the engine Telltale uses for their releases, the combat is quite fun. The final battle in particular goes on for a very long time, but keeps the button prompts changed up enough for the player to actually feel engaged, and watching the action unfold in front of you is a real treat. We are trying to tread lightly so as to avoid any spoilers about the finale of City of Light, but the way the final blow is handled and what happens immediately after is rewarding enough for sticking through the entirety of the first season of Batman: The Telltale Series. There is one choice that you can make during the final battle that was tough to call, but ultimately I felt there was only one right solution After doing so, the conversations that take place afterward provide more context to why Batman did what he did.One of the strongest points in City of Light, at least for me, was the scene that takes place between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle on the open road. I was fairly critical and disappointed with how this entire story arc played out throughout Episode 4, so it was nice to see Telltale Games touch on the subject once again in Episode 5. This actually felt like the resolution their plotline needed, and depending on the choices you make while talking to her, the end result can be very different in tone and with what happens. There is also room for Selina to return in future seasons if Telltale decides to go down that route thanks to this scene. I've said it before, but the relationship between Bruce and Selina shown throughout this season is some of the best work I've seen done between those two, and it would have been a shame not to have this scene in City of Light.As a whole, Batman: The Telltale Series is absolutely worth playing for fans of both Batman and of Telltale Games. While some episodes are clearly stronger than others, when viewed as one complete package, it still stands as one of the best series Telltale has worked on. It was probably the most fun I have had with a single season out of the entire catalog that Telltale Games has produced throughout the years. The ending beautifully sets up the second season as well, and we will eagerly anticipate any news on that throughout the coming months and years until it is finally ready to be shown.8.0 / 10Check out our Review Policy here.

Throughout gameplay, Batman's choices will either change the story or impact relationships between him and other characters. These decisions will last throughout the rest of the series, though the player can replay the episodes and change the outcome. After completing each episode, their decisions will be compared to with other players. The results will show how many players also made their decisions or took a different option. At the end of the series, the player will be shown the relationships between their Batman and the other characters they've interacted with.

Now that Batman: The Telltale Series has reached its conclusion (complete with a post-plot stinger for what could come next in another season), it's possible to speak not just of its story as a whole, but of its mechanics. The game's final fight planning sequence ups the ante from previous episodes by containing timed choices, a twist that feels very Batman. But the series' take on crime scene investigation, while promising, never quite reached the height I wanted it to. It's far too easy to get through these sequences by process of elimination rather than intuitive thinking. A few red herrings would go a long way.

This is definitely one of the better looking games from Telltale with much higher levels of detail and care in the world. Like with the other episodes, there were no graphical issues which is nice, good polish here. It would however be nice to see them enhance the title for the premium console since it could look sharper around the edges. For those unfamiliar with past Telltale series the games are a mostly cinematic experience with quick time events and a focus on storytelling. There are a number of new mechanics in the game such as combination movements when in battle or more in-depth quick time system. This includes things such as aiming with weapons, combining clues and control of tools. This has been further built upon for season with extended movements and new ways to finish off sequences. The solving aspect is another mechanic where players need to look around crime scenes in order to piece the situation together and this in turn adds a better dimension to him being an actual detective. They've really done a great job in capturing the iconic character while still retaining that Telltale style you know.

In addition to the great new gameplay mechanics that Telltale added into this series they truly improved their combat system, and City of Lights uses it beautifully during the final combat sequence between Batman and Lady Arkham. Without giving away any spoilers, Telltale really made its final fight sequence one to remember. It felt much more than simply pushing buttons as quickly as possible; it felt like genuine combat you might find in a first person action game. Without his bat tech Batman truly has to get to get his hands dirty at the end of the episode. 041b061a72
