It's disappointing to see the levels of polish drop this much after such a solid start. While these were less frequent than the previous problem, they were annoying, and I actually failed a few of the combat quick-time events due to the fact that the prompt was only visible to me for two or three frames. It was a distracting issue that took a lot away from the experience.Īnother problem was framerate drops. One of the most annoying issues that happened at least once every two minutes was a temporary screen freeze for a second or two. Coming into Episode 2 with high expectations, I was let down. The first episode of The Enemy Within ran excellently. Manipulating the world around you with charisma instead of a Bat-gloved fist was a welcome variation. This is a nice change from the formula of Episode 1, where your actions were ultimately the most impactful choices you made. Overall, your choices in this episode are more closely related to how you speak rather than what you do. They aren't afraid to ask you the hard questions about why or for what reason the richest resident of Gotham would fight the system, and the way you answer has an impact on how much they come to trust you - and how successful your undercover operation is.
Naturally, as any mastermind of crime would be, they are all suspicious of Bruce Wayne deciding to go rogue. The element of choice also plays a large role during your time undercover with Harley and the rest of the villains. Do you trust Gordon, the closest thing in the Gotham Police Department you have to a sidekick who also happens to be your friend? Or do you put your faith in Amanda Waller, who controls the useful resources of the Agency and threatens to blackmail you if you aren't cooperative? Harley is the Alpha, and John constantly tries to get on her good side due to the infatuation he has for her.Īs mentioned above, the choice between Gordon and Waller is one that you'll have to consider heavily.
Instead of the Joker (who John Doe is extremely reminiscent of) pulling Harley's strings and getting her to join in his evil ways, its the other way around. The way both of these characters are portrayed with each other is unique and fresh due to the flipping of established Batman lore. Several classic Batman foes make up the bulk of this group, but the focus is on John and Harley Quinn. Several foes are behind the sinister plot to try and control Gotham, and in order to help find out what the Agency is dealing with, Amanda Waller has you go undercover for her and take up John Doe's offer to meet the group of criminals that he extended prior.Įpisode 2 breathes life into the antagonists of the story.
Unlike Episode 1, which focused entirely on the perspective of those opposed to the Riddler and his rumored gang of villains, this episode allows you to get a much clearer view of the enemies behind the plans discovered in the first episode.
