Batman The Telltale Series Episode 1 Realm of Shadows Review. Share. It layers on top of that all of the social pressure that comes with making any kind of public appearance as Bruce Wayne one of the richest and most prominent people in a rapidly deteriorating city. The mixture is a sometimes unevenly paced but always multi faceted and complex adventure thats laced in gorgeous, high action cinematics that truly do Batman, and his brutal, fear inducing tactics justice. Anyone who has played a Telltale game will be familiar with the punishing consequences of having to make tough choices under the pressure of a timer, and Bruces position as a political influencer make even a public handshake a tense decision. Whether it was choosing to publicly back Harvey Dents political campaign or confronting Selina Kyle, I almost always felt like I had made the wrong move, or totally screwed up an interaction with another important member of Gothams social hierarchy. The two separate roles you have to play are absolutely to credit for that intensity how will this choice affect Bruce, and how will it affect BatmanOn top of that, you have to consider how it will affect the other five characters who are intertwined into each of the uniquely appealing subplots, and where you hope to end up. Those choices are often bogged down in overly expositional dialogue sequences, though. Youre frequently reminded that Bruces beloved parents died and that Gotham city is in ruins but used to be great, and that Alfred is worried about you, nearly to the point of exhaustion. Unless this is your first Batman experience, thats very old ground that didnt need to be retread. The problem is only compounded by the fact that Troy Bakers voice acting as Bruce in all his forms is only really just okay, particularly when compared to his previous performances, in other games. Together, they make some dialogue heavy segments of this two hour episode feel drawn out and repetitive, but some of the more brief exchanges with Gothams freakshow gallery of rogues are still an unpredictable delight. Telltales Gotham isnt a mirror of DC Comics at all. The Saint of Killers will be playing a big role in Preacher season 2.

The changes are deep enough that I have to question whether Telltales version of Harvey Dent will ever actually turn into Two Face, especially if the drastic revision to Penguins backstory is anything to go by. Future episodes will tell, but I dont think our familiarity with any of Batmans villains will spoil anything, which will hopefully prevent the series from being entirely predictable. You have to think in the moment without the advantage of prior knowledge, just as Bruce Wayne does. On the other hand, Batmans segments feel entirely separate from Bruce Waynes, in part by virtue of being much less talky. Instead, our choices are about how brutally youd like to beat someone, challenging you with the ethics and sanity of what it is to be Gothams vigilante during a time when the city hasnt quite made up its mind on that subject either.

With Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Ken Watanabe, Liam Neeson. After training with his mentor, Batman begins his fight to free crime. Its up to you whether youre a ruthless, bloodthirsty version of Batman or a merciful hero, and each of those choices presents its own challenging moral conflict. Will you beat the man who intentionally obliterated police officers in a chemical explosion, or will you let him walk with nothing but threatsAnd what does either course of action mean for Batmans public perception, and Bruce Waynes psychologyYoure directing combat, not participating in it. Batmans comic book look translates beautifully into Telltales recognizable art style, with only a few occasionally awkward animations most notably when characters are walking. Consistently unique actions and reactions make combat a treat to watch but remember that watching is most of what you do, and for good reason. It feels a lot more like youre directing a combat experience than actively participating in it, with failed QTEs usually only meaning you wont activate a dramatic. Its an unusually forgiving and low stakes approach to combat, but this prevents the fast paced action from getting frustrating and spares us awkward depictions of The Dark Knight getting his butt kicked. All of the weight and punishment is in dialogue choices and decision making, where the combat is more of a visual treat. Realm of Shadows detective style sequences are thankfully a little more interactive. Youre presented with a crime scene and made to connect characters with corresponding objects or clues, from fishing a bullet out of somebodys skull to matching it up with a specific bullet hole. The attention to detail and density of each of the environments makes this a treat visually, and while there are too few options for there to be any major sense of old school adventure game challenge, it adds another more cautious, insular layer to a game thats already surprisingly varied.

It does continue a trend of making the Worlds Greatest Detective seem laughably idiotic in order to make us feel smart as we walk him through it, though at one point youre prompted to find out more information about Catwoman, and so you look her up on your fancy Bat computer only to be presented with Bruces own notes on Catwoman saying he doesnt know much about her. Great detective work, there, Bats you looked up your own notes.
