Telltale delivers a fantastic, story driven take on the Caped Crusader we all love that focuses just as much on the man behind the mask just as you do the bat himself.

Additional strong points are the branching narratives that force impossible choices with meaningful consequences, and the 'Shadows Mode' art style which was absolutely gorgeous.

A brilliant aesthetic touch they added lets you choose the color of every single piece of Batman's tech (like the Batcomputer, HUD, drones, detective vision ect.) to the color you like most.
