What players are saying
Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 212 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (9,940 of 10,772 positive).
Many players consider this a significant improvement over the first season, praising its narrative branching and character development. [1][2][3] The game's take on Joker and the weight of player choices are widely highlighted as standout features. [4][5][6] Some reviewers criticize the game for taking liberties with Batman's character and logic, or for technical issues. [7][8][9]

Too ambitious and eventually falls apart by taking too many liberties with the subject matter and thus defying believability and logic even in a fictitious narrative. Slowly strips away Batman's aura and recklessly exploitative of Batman's secret identity. Unbelievably ludicrous ending and worst ending I've encountered in the history of The Dark Knight as an intellectual property. Expected better and left a sour …

The One Telltale Game Where Your Choices Actually Matter The Enemy Within stands not just as a brilliant sequel, but as the undisputed pinnacle of Telltale Games' craft. This season elevates the interactive drama to unprecedented heights, delivering a gripping, psychologically complex story where player choice carries more weight and consequence than in any other title from the studio. https://youtu.be/F-fGv2sBh9E …

10/10 game. easily one of the best games I ahve ever played. I LOVED John in this and I think this game has the best version of Joker OAT. The choices were also the hardest choices I have ever had to make in a telltale game. Easily a perfect game

Way better than the first game: Your decisions carry real weight here, especially in the last episode. Also very original and interesting take of Joker's background and his dynamic with Batman. Side characters (Riddler, Harley Quinn) are also pretty awesome. Highly recommended for fellow Bat-fam!

I like this second season a lot more than the first one. The writing and characters are just spot on. While the first season was good too, it did suffer from some boring characters and not that interesting story telling, something they definitely improved upon in this second season. The undercover thing, John Doe friendship and Selina finally confessing her feelings for Bruce, made every episode interesting and I …

But if you make it so broken ribs, concussions, and guns work 100% like real life, it becomes unimmersive for Batman to exist at all.
