Batman Returns

Welp I'm already on Day 4 and as much as I thought I'd move on, looks like I'm committing to this game (thanks to a guide, otherwise I'd have no idea how to solve this mystery lol) The Look is amazinnnnng and that early DOS Look I love so much. I especially love the Look of the Batcave but it is all around great. The tune isn't bad and is getting a bit repetitive but nothing terrible. It's like Monkey Island/Putt Putt esque but a Batman mystery. The fighting is slow and boring, thank goodness for fast forward, tho I am grateful I don't need to use clunky PC controls for the fighting (it's automated) but it's just too slow, If I choose Fierce, be fierce Batman! It's neat going up and down from the roofs and exploring the areas, and luckily the Time feature isn't too annoying sometimtes the Fish Market closed on me but I was able to work through it. Oh and how convenient these videotapes keep being left on the gruond! lol.

Interesting. Seems there are many ways to solve this. I missed the Penguin Feather, hopefully I can finish without it.

Alright hmmm so some petty time factor did come up and now I'm learning just how petty the game is, you might as well save different files every little bit. I was so close to the end, just was supposed to go to Zoo and have the Duckmobile scene and fight the final battles. Meh. This really probly deserves a 2 but I suppose it'll get an honorary 3 star for its Look and the fact I just spent an hour playing it spontaneously lol. Sluggish and flawed with adventure game antics like time-based things you can miss permanently and trial-and-error solutions.

Look: 8.5/10

Sound: 7.5/10

Play: 7/10

Feel: 7.5/10

Attachment: 7/10 Doubt I will return to this much, but it definitely captured the dark mysterious Batman aesthetic well and would be worth watching playthroughs or playing a bit in the future.

Overall: 7.5/10
