Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 3 Reviews
It's been a splendid time with Joker once again being quite something and the others of the team coming across as essentially wild cards.
This episode drags the momentum of this second season down a bit, so if you haven't already been playing The Enemy Within, I'd wait on picking it up until the full season ends to see if the final two episodes can make up for this rather boring third one.
This isn't the worst or the best of the one and a half seasons of Batman that Telltale Games has provided us. It's good, but not great as the story itself feels as though it is setting us up for the last half of this season, but thankfully this is not one of those episodes that just treads water and completely stalls out the plot in favor of some new character introductions.
Fractured Mask is another thoroughly enjoyable episode of Batman Season 2. Though some of the decisions characters make are questionable, the re-introduction and further development of Catwoman and John’s decreasing sanity are a joy to take part in.
Despite the lack of introducing new mechanics to set off the mid-season, Telltale Games took the helm with its narrative direction for Episode 3: The Fractured Mask. It’s a good way to spice things up as we get closer to the season finale, and hopefully, the next episode would not screw this momentum up.
The episode three of Batman: The Enemy Within seems a real link to the first chapter of the saga, using some themes and characters that have fallen into oblivion and which now come back with force.

As a verdict, I see no reason not to give this another 10/10. Nothing really I want to complain about. Engaging story, mixed up with enough gameplay sections, put in a mix of good OST and pleasant smooth graphics and we have a recipe for success.
A returning character turns Episode 3 of Telltale's Batman: The Enemy Within AKA Broken Mask into an action packed and tense period in the series.
Season 2, or Batman: The Enemy Within is off to a much stronger start than Season 1 and with the twists, turns, and startling revelations that capped off last season's Finale, I cannot wait to see where Telltale takes this series next.
The Fractured Mask was a much needed step in the right direction after the previous fumble. It seemed to get back to the basics and had a much narrower focus. Not to mention the setup for the next episode has me all kinds of excited.
Fractured Mask was a great episode with plenty of character moments I loved. But my favourite thing about the episode was ending it, realising there are two episodes left and I really can't see the direction the story is heading -- which is exciting.
Batman The Enemy Within Episode 3: Fractured Mask doesn't attempt to rush things any focuses more on narrative instead of action. In Batman The Enemy Within Episode 3: Fractured Mask you'll either push away those potential allies or made new alliances.
Batman: The Enemy Within's third episode can't keep up with the two great episodes before it.
A slow episode that shows that many of the game's characters don't have a long shelf life. Hopefully episode four can right the ship.
A little better than The Pact in some ways and a lot worse in many others, Fractured Mask feels as if Telltale Games just wants to "get it over with," and, as a result, just churns out another uninteresting chapter, where nothing really seems to ever happen.
Fractured Mask takes the story to a new direction by representing Catwoman and focusing more on Batman's role. The only downside is that the choices from previous episode aren't really in effect here and one might feel that this will continue in the future episodes too.

There is a lot to juggle with two episodes to go, and there promises to be plenty of heartbreak along the way.
Due to poor dialogues, not necessarily complicated plot and the game being too easy; The third episode of Batman: The Enemy Withing is deeply troubled. Although the gorgeous comic graphics and good characterization of Joker and Bruce Wayne still saves the whole experience somehow.

'Fractured Mask' isn't the most eventful episode, but it's still fun, all the characters are clashing wonderfully, and it's fun waiting for the hammer to fall and your choices to bite you hard. Which will probably happen in Episode 4. We can't wait.
Fractured Mask offers some of the season's best scenes in yet another strong episode in Telltale's latest season. The consistency during the two hour tale leaves a little to be desired, but Batman: The Enemy Within continues to be among the best Telltale has to offer.
