Or what about when the hero finally catches the bandit, but lets him go free. You know when you are watching a show and you just want the protagonist to punch that smug, piece of trash jerk that's monologuing about his future plans? Fortunately there is an option to do so. While the big story-altering decisions can be effective at capturing the players attention, I felt the most immersive component was in the little character-shaping choices presented. As a fun bonus you get to see the percentage of what everyone else picked at the end of each chapter, a welcomed surprise. Some of the time you can actually change the scene completely by choosing whether to approach the event as either Batman or Bruce Wayne, whichever sounds more interesting to you. Most of the time the players choices don't affect the plot of the story, but more so allow the player to delve into what peaks their curiosity. As each scene pans out the player gets to steer the conversation in different directions and speak for Batman or Bruce. As I got deeper into the story I realized it felt more like watching an AMC or Netflix series, but with an interactive twist. This package for Switch includes all 5 chapters, previously released episodically for other platforms throughout 2016. Like other Telltale games, this is more of an experience than an actual game. Fortunately, the writing was always engaging and left me on the edge of my seat the whole time, excited for what would play out next. Occasionally an awkward and cheesy line arises, but honestly even the best of actors are at the mercy of the script they’re handed. The voice actors really do a great job with the script they're given, which for the most part is top-notch. Not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised and seriously impressed with the overall quality of both the visual and audio production.
