Batman: The Enemy Within - The Telltale Series includes access to all five episodes in this all-new season from the award-winning studio, Telltale Games.
In this latest chapter from the award-winning studio behind Batman - The Telltale Series, both Bruce Wayne and Batman will be forced into precarious new roles. The Riddler has returned to terrorize Gotham City, but his gruesome puzzles merely foreshadow an even greater crisis. With the arrival of a ruthless federal agent and the return of a still nascent Joker, Batman must navigate uneasy alliances while Bruce Wayne undertakes a perilous series of deceptions. Which of Batman’s new allies will you choose to trust? And how deep into the darkness will you let Bruce descend?
Gritty Noir Batman is back for a season full of intrigue and hard choices. The writing is better than the first season, feels more visceral. I didn't find any technical issues in this one.
The episodes are also longer than before, which leaves room for the various characters to have a better development.
One thing that left me with mixed feelings in both seasons is that they focus about 60% on Bruce Wayne rather than Batman. I feel that this may be the reason why these games fail to rank among Telltale's best games. But the way they approached the Joker here is incredibly original, and that's the strongest highlight of this season.
I also really liked the last episode very much. Specially the ending.
I revisited this entry after having put it down back when it was brand new and releasing episodically. I remember the moment I lost interest from all those years ago, but decided to give it another chance.
I really enjoyed the first season (though I had some issues with the constant decisions where somebody was gonna be inconvenienced by what you chose) and the different twists and turns that it took me. Naturally, I expected Enemy Within to refine the formula and tighten up the experience for the player.
The gameplay definitely has a leg up from the first in terms of gameplay and QTEs, but that's about where my praises end. For the most part, this critique is based on the game's selling point: the story. And this story irritated me. I can pinpoint the exact moment halfway through episode 1 that I had a bad gut feeling about where this was going, and by the time the episode ended, that feeling only got stronger. Of course I wasn't expecting anything to be faithful to the comics; this is its own thing. But there's making changes for originality, and then there's making changes just for pure shock value... and a bunch of these changes feel like they only exist for shock and awe, followed by a flimsy justification to explain it. Too much change can be a bad thing, and I point to this as a prime example.
Not to mention the graphical bugs I encountered in episode 2. The camera really doesn't like being stuck in a tight space with Harley and it would break the scene and characters. I basically had to sit through it until the scene changed and fixed itself. I don't know whether it's because I played in Shadows mode or something else, but it didn't do the game any favors.
So: I'd recommend sticking with the first season, and then pretending it got cancelled despite the critical reception
