Currently, the Summer Sale is running on Steam, bringing great offers. For under ten euros, you can immerse yourself in an engaging Batman story.
What kind of game is this? This is Batman: The Telltale Series on Steam, which you can currently get for the price of 5.99 euros in the shop. That’s cheaper than the average price of a döner, which is between 8 and 9 euros (Source: newsroom.justeattakeaway.com).
In the Batman Telltale game, you take on the role of Batman and experience an engaging story whose direction and outcome you determine yourself.
Even better: The second part, Batman: The Enemy Within, is also on Steam reduced to 5.99 euros. If you buy both games in the bundle, you pay 11.72 euros.
With the trailer for Batman: The Enemy Within, you get a first insight into the Telltale game:
Batman at night, Bruce Wayne during the day
What happens in the game? In the Batman Telltale games, you play not only as the hero Batman but also as Bruce Wayne. While the activities of the hero Batman may be more exciting, both narratives contribute equally to the game. The Telltale games primarily do one thing: they tell their players a story where the players can actively participate.
In the first part of the Batman Telltale games, you uncover in five episodes that not only the usual suspects, like the Penguin or Carmine Falcone, have dirty dealings, but also the parents of Bruce Wayne. During their lifetime, they were deeply involved in the underworld of Gotham City, or so it seems. The truth needs to be uncovered as Batman, but also as Bruce Wayne.
The game ends with a teaser for the next game The Enemy Within. Here, Batman faces his old nemesis: the Joker. However, you can influence how the Joker develops in this game.
Let me say this: a rivalry doesn’t necessarily have to develop between Batman and the Joker. This offers a rarely chosen perspective for the Batman universe and makes the game’s story particularly special.
The main gameplay of both games consists of two essential things: point-and-click mechanics to find hidden clues and choosing from various dialogue options.
Each action has a direct impact on the game events. So, it’s worth not just playing through the game once but multiple times to see all dialogues and possible endings. At a price of 6 or 12 euros, it’s definitely worth it.
Who should get the game? If you want to experience an exciting story about the Dark Knight and are not deterred by slower gameplay mechanics, the Batman Telltale games are definitely for you.
The Steam Summer Sale offers many bargains. If you want to experience an engaging story-driven game, we can recommend Beyond: Two Souls. You can read more about it here on MeinMMO: One of the best story games on Steam is currently less than the price of an ice cream
