Not just weighted towards the player; with regular fights weighted too much for the player. Uppercut against a bankrobber? Game-over because a Superman uppercut against a simple human would leave a bloody mess. The challenge is to find the healthy medium to fight others while upholding Supermans principles. Its not the physical harm for the character the player should fear, but the psychical.
Typical super-strength beginner error :
No, not really. Some adventure game elements; yes. But not full on Lucas Arts/Sierra point & click. Have never played a Telltale game so IDK. But solving problems by saying the right thing at the right moment without violence would be something I'd like to see in a Superman game.
Thats not saying there should be no all out no worries no regret fights. Doomsday; Darkseid. Their faces beg for Supes fist without any restraint. After all these dramatic fights where its all in are a Superman staple too.
