Batman: The Telltale Series (2016 Video Game)
8/10
A good take on Batman, but the whole storyline can be a bit wonky.

Warning: Spoilers
First and foremost, Episode one is the strongest episode. It's sets up each of the characters very well. The music throughout the game is amazing and some of the voice-acting is just ok.

Episode 4 introduces the Joker and he has to be one of the most amazing versions of the Joker yet.

Episode 5 is action packed but the whole structure of the story feels disjointed and has less stakes than previous episodes.

Now for misgivings: Oswald Cobblepot in this is not how he's supposed to be, making Vicki Vale the main bad guy is a stupid idea, Thomas Wayne as a mob boss doesn't make sense either (If I was a mobster who was about to get gunned down in front of my family, why would I not be carrying a gun?), see Telltale, the changes you made are just for the sake of trying be creative and clever when really you are giving new fans the wrong idea about what the Batman universe is.

It's a unique and great game that unfortunately is let down by the occasionally questionable writing. This is the start of the decline of Telltale Games as a company and probably the reason why they are shutting down.
