As great of a job as Telltale has done with a Batman series, can they just give us a Joker series? Asking for a guy I know. What’s It About? Episode 5, Same Stitch, pays off John Doe as the Joker is one of two ways: Vigilante or Villain. Your choices leading into and starting off this episode produce either version and will play out differently. For my playthrough, I dealt with Villain Joker. The Pact has narrowed itself to […]
When I left off my last review of Telltale’s ongoing Batman season, I was wanting more. Well, turns out I got a lot more of what I wanted in the latest release: What Ails You. The title is incredibly apt in that it’s a deeper dive into each character’s driving factors. It creates an incredibly engaging story that barely needs Batman in it at all.
Throughout the year I felt like I played a lot of games between conventions and releases, but then I realized: I played a lot of partial games. Lots of episodes and plenty of demos. Such is the life focused on event coverage.
Horizon: Zero Dawn was easily one of the best games 2017 had to offer, so getting the chance to dive back into the world is inherently exciting and daunting. Could an expansion live up to the quality of the rest of the game? In the case of The Frozen Wilds, absolutely.
Over the last couple of weeks, there were two notable releases featuring Batman. One is a dumbed down mess that shows Batman getting beat to hell, getting almost all of his toys broken, and making him be a foolish jerk. The other tells a cohesive and engaging story. Let’s talk about the latter! Telltale Games’ Batman – The Enemy Within, Episode 3: Fractured Mask.
Darkness rises… and microtransactions rise to meet it. I think that’s how the new Star Wars saying goes.
Just a short few weeks after the release of the last episode, Telltale is back to close out its Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy season with Don’t Stop Believin’. After leaving themselves in a tough spot at the end of the last episode, the Guardians need to quickly rally before the galaxy is lost to yet another maniacal threat.
Telltale is back with another emotionally charged journey with the Guardians of the Galaxy. The last two games have gone either very successful with emotion for us (Under Pressure) to a little more on the meh side (More Than a Feeling). The latest episode, Who Needs You, covers all that ground on its way to delivering a potentially devastating ending.
Before we get a major dose of Batman in the upcoming Justice League film, Telltale is bringing him back in The Enemy Within’s second episode, The Pact. This time, we’re getting a whole lot more Bruce Wayne and a crazier lot of villains. What’s It About? The Pact picks up shortly after the events of The Enigma. No matter how you made your choices in the first episode, Batman will be in a tricky situation due to his relationships with […]
The Guardians of the Galaxy are back to start wrapping up summer with the latest episode of their Telltale series: More Than a Feeling. Unlike the previous episode, where we found success with its use of emotions, this one… not so much.
Last year, Telltale Games let us put on the cowl of the Caped Crusader to some very positive reaction. Personally, I enjoyed the noticeably different take on Batman and his lore. Now, Telltale is back with the second season, The Enemy Within, that looks to keep up inspired storyline efforts by diving much deeper into the rogues gallery. Things here start off with The Riddler.
