Batman: The Enemy Within is Telltale's second Batman season and the best-reviewed non-Arkham game on this list, with 94% of 4,395 English Steam reviews positive. It picks up after the first season: The Riddler returns to Gotham City, a ruthless federal agent arrives, and a still nascent Joker becomes a central character. The Steam page frames the main choice as which of Batman's new allies to trust and how far Bruce Wayne goes in a series of deceptions. All five episodes are included. Play is choice-driven, built on dialogue and timed actions rather than open-world fighting, which keeps the skill barrier low. The list price is $14.99, tied for the cheapest here, and Steam showed it at $7.49 during a 50% sale when we checked on November 11, 2026. Minimum hardware is 3 GB of RAM and 15 GB of storage, though Steam warns against Intel integrated graphics. It ranks fifth because it works best after the first season.
