That ain't got nothin to do with anything, I just thought I should mention it.Ĭontinuing with how these games seems to know what elements to use, I liked how they implemented the Riddler here. As a reflection of my adjusted effort, I will confine the actual elements of discussion in order to keep things focused.Īlso, the music in the water was kinda goofy. Like, holy shit.Īnyway, enough about me, let's talk about the game! Overall, I'd say this was an okay episode that leans towards good or rather enjoyable, but there were a few concerns in places.
I started at around 8:30 and the occasional 5 minute or so break included, it took me till a little after midnight to finish. Of course, I was vividly reminded why it takes so long for me to actually play these games-because the episode's themselves are pretty long.
I mean, I obviously forgot a bit of what happened in Season 1, but it's not really crucial for the most part.Īs a change up from my previous style of recap/review, I focused more on just playing the episode and only started to jot down quick things like dialogue, character identities, and the occasional observation the same basic pattern as before, yes, but more brisk for the sake of time and focus. It's been a few months since I did Season 1 as well as apparently a year in universe and yet it almost felt like I slipped right back into the fold a bit seamlessly. This was a fairly relaxed start off to the sequel aside from maybe the stuff Riddler's traps and puzzle box resulted in.
So after a long ass delay, I finally played Episode 1 The Enigma last night. Finally, the review of the first episode will probably and/or hopefully be up by the end of this week, though I can't exactly make promises. As I found after doing the finale of Jurassic Park, that style of jotting as I play is unfortunately just prone to inflating already long episodes into even longer time sinks. Secondly, for those who have/will read my previous impressions and gotten used to their style, I've made it a point to change that up into a simpler form with this. First and foremost, there will still be slightly delays between posts per episode as has been the case for other games. And now, after a fairly considerable delay, I'm finally getting around to playing it's acclaimed sequel, The Enemy Within.Īs a hopefully accurate heads-up, there's a couple of things I wish to establish about this playthrough.
In the time between New Years and mid-to-late March, I have played Season 1 and found it to be quite a good experience, recognizing that my initial dismissal was very much ignorant of proper thought and wrote chronicling impressions in a similar style that I did The Wolf Among Us in the time between then and now, I also played Jurassic Park, which I wrote transcripts and review of in the appropriate section. So I bought it in the late third or early fourth quarter of 2018 only to sit it on the backlog while I gradually attended to other games that had priority and later got the second season during impromptu Christmas Eve shopping alongside Telltale's Jurassic Park. However, upon learning of a second season and seeing commercials, review scores, and even comments from otherwise very critical fans praising it, I couldn't help but slowly consider checking it out for myself. As a quick recap, when I first heard Telltale was a making a Batman game, I was pretty skeptical and very disinterested.
