Telltale Games is providing a new take on the Batman
franchise. Much like their other games such as The Wolf Among US and The
Walking Dead, their new Batman game is more point and click rather than free
roam in an open world. I think the game will be more story-driven as compared
to the Arkham series of Batman games which were more gameplay driven.
Again much like the other games featured by Telltale, games such as Borderlands, Batman will also utilise a similar cell shaded visual effect. While some people prefer the shiny new graphics of new-gen consoles, I’ve always been a fan of the unique art style that Borderlands had to offer and I think that this art style will translate especially well for the Batman game, adding a comic book effect to the story and gameplay.

The game also features the story and character of Bruce
Wayne in much more depth along with the duality of the Dark Knight. I think
focusing on not only the character of Batman but also that of Bruce Wayne is
something that other Batman games have lacked in the past. There is usually
somewhat an unbalanced lean towards the Dark Knight garnering much of the
screen time and attention. Batman Telltale Series on the other hand will let
players experience what it is like to also be Bruce Wayne the Billionaire as
well as the caped crusader that is Batman.
Add to that the typical Telltale manner of choices the
player has to make in the game, along with the consequences that go with those
choices, is sure to add to the feel of actually BEING both Bruce Wayne and the
Dark Knight. The choices for Bruce Wayne will also be much different than that
of the Dark Knight. While Bruce Wayne might fret about whom he would like to back
for a political campaign, Batman might be debating which tool from his utility
belt would be best suited for the job.
The First Episode –“ Realm of Shadows” is already available for digital download since August 2nd, 2016.
