Batman: The Telltale Series review

Batman: The Telltale Series puts Bruce Wayne at the center as much as Batman. Telltale, the studio behind The Walking Dead series, describes a gritty story where discoveries shatter Bruce's world and the stability of a corrupt Gotham City, and where your actions decide the fate of the Batman. The Steam purchase covers all five episodes, and Steam says all are available now. Play centers on dialogue choices and timed action scenes, so it suits players who find the Arkham combat too demanding. It costs $14.99, tied for the lowest list price on this list, and needs 3 GB of RAM, though Steam warns against Intel integrated graphics and asks laptop users to switch to dedicated graphics. English reviews are 86% positive across 7,899 reviews, below its sequel's 94%. It ranks seventh, one place behind The Enemy Within, mainly because of that review gap, though it is the season to play first.
