Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 3 Reviews

Batman: The Enemy Within - Episode 3 is ranked in the 40th percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
Nov 20, 2017

Batman's third episode from season two does enough to keep the overall story ticking over, but a crowded narrative and confusing relationships mean this is the low point so far. Episode four will have to do much better.

Players new and old took to the spotlight in Batman - The Enemy Within Episode 3, and it was clear just how your decisions would affect those around you. "Fractured Mask" indeed.

Fractured Mask hits the ground running from the very start. Its main story elements march along to a respectable beat to deliver an entertaining third chapter.

Fractured Mask is a well written and engaging episode that restored our trust in Batman: The Enemy Within series. For the first time in a long while for a Telltale's game, we are very interested in the possible outcome that awaits Bruce and the other main characters in the next episode.

'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.

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.

There is a lot to juggle with two episodes to go, and there promises to be plenty of heartbreak along the way.

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.

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.

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.

Batman: The Enemy Within's third episode can't keep up with the two great episodes before it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
