Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2 Reviews
The Pact moves the series' story forward nicely, confronting players with interesting, serious moral dilemmas.
The Pact is a fair episode, with some familiar faces and a couple of great scenes. But due to its odd plotting, overbooked roster, and distracting technical flaws, it didn't suck me in like the previous chapter did. Still, outside of the horrible lock-up issues, it was an acceptable way to while away two hours. I'm intrigued to see where the story goes next.
Telltale's Season 2 of Batman started strong, but it was with Episode 2 where they had to prove they could keep the momentum going. They've succeeded.
Episode 2: The Pact far exceeded my expectations.
As far as the story goes, things are definitely starting to heat up. Even as I chose to cooperate with Waller, it's clear that tensions are starting to brew between Bruce and her.
It's difficult to get excited about Telltale Games at the moment, but this has me hooked and I can't wait for the next episode.
Telltale flips the script on Joker and presents a cool new take on Harley Quinn in episode 2 of Batman: The Enemy Within
Batman's second episode in season two — known as The Pact — takes The Dark Knight and continues to refine him in a very unique way. If the whole series can pay off this story, it'll be very good indeed.
Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2 'The Pact' is yet another fantastic episode in this series. It was going to be hard to top the greatness of season one, but if these first two episodes are any indication, we might be in for one of Telltale's best yet. The action, drama, characters, and story are all firing on all cylinders and fans of Batman owe it to themselves to check this series out.
With each episode, John Doe edges ever closer to irredeemable insanity, and the question of whether or not you can save him remains an engaging one.
Batman: The Enemy Within keeps the suspense high through the second episode of the new series.
The Pact is a good place from which the rest of the season can build for what should be a very interesting conclusion.
The Pact was a great introduction to Harley, who was fresh, fun and menacing, and Bane was great as a smart musclehead.
Batman: The Enemy Within Episode 2: The Pact places Bruce in many uneasy situations. During the course of the episode, you'll constantly be tested by everyone including yourself. Depending on the choices this episode can end a number of ways with different characters seeing you in various lights.
Batman: The Enemy Within – Episode Two: The Pact is one of the best Telltale episodes in a long time. Going behind enemy lines with some of Gotham's greatest gangsters makes for a brilliantly tense dynamic, as you wrestle with socially awkward situations in order to keep everyone on-side. With so many different plot threads dangling, it was only a matter of time before a certain kitten came out to play – and the return of Catwoman sets up a third episode that we can't wait to experience.
The Pact weaves a convoluted story that's an improvement over the first episode and ultimately entertaining if you're willing to suspend your disbelief.
I still love Telltale's take on the Bat-verse, but the remaining episodes of The Enemy Within have an uphill climb to get this season back on track.
The Pact provides a highly compelling, Bruce Wayne-focused episode that continues to push the momentum of this season forward at a fast pace. The lack of common Telltale features may be a bit off-putting to some fans, but those eager to see Gotham's diverse cast of characters at their best will find plenty to enjoy with The Pact.
While not as good as the season premiere, Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 2 - The Pact brings some very interesting storylines and characterizations to the forefront, and puts both Batman and Bruce Wayne into some very interesting positions.
