Episode one of telltale games batman series came out this week. I've never played a telltale game before. Mainly because there is not much gameplay it's completely story driven. The story is dictated by the decisions the player makes. However, i'm a huge fan of batman so I thought this would be a good one to start with. After playing episode one I was surprised how much fun I had with this first episode.

Bruce Wayne is in his early years of being batman in this story. Right now he is trying to defeat the mob that dominates Gotham. He is also helping Harvey Dent run for Gotham Mayor. With Harvey as mayor and Bruce Wayne as batman, this is the perfect formula to get Gotham back on its feet. This episode focused more on Bruce Wayne than batman. Players have to make decisions that will help Harvey win over the press and citizens of Gotham. This is the first time in a batman game were Bruce Wayne is heavily featured. A rumor is floating around that his parents were working with the mob before they were murdered. Bruce is heckled by the media over this hurting Harvey's campaign. Players have to decide how to handle the media which effects how the story plays out.

Even though this episode focuses more on Bruce Wayne there is still plenty of batman. I really liked batman's suit design. He has the white eyes which makes him even more intimidating. Gameplay for batman is either a quick time event or solving a crime through detective mode. He also runs into catwoman in the beginning of the episode. I think she's going to play a big role for the batman part of the story. I really enjoyed figuring what happened at crime scenes. I also enjoyed the quick time events to my surprise. The player can also decide how to punish the criminals batman runs into. You can choose to show mercy or brutalize them which will intimidate other criminals.

I think I enjoyed this more than others because it was my first time playing a telltale game. Also because it's a batman story. If your someone who's played all the telltale games, I'm not sure if you'll get the same enjoyment I did. Episode one is only 4.99$ I highly recommend playing through it.
