New Tales from the Borderlands

The only two stars are for the visual team - the game looked fantastic. But that's about it.

I looooved the first Tales from the Borderlands, and compared to that, this was a huge letdown. I had to stop after an hour because the script was so bad (from the very beginning) that I just couldn't take it anymore. I still can't comprehend how awful it was.

I imagine the voice actors could have done (or did) a good job if the script hadn't been so rubbish. But it left me feeling like even the voice acting was annoying - even though I know it's not their fault they were given such a weak script.

It's awkward and not funny. Don't waste your time on this.

The overall story was exciting and fun and that's the best way to play this game the trailers didn't really interest me but because its a sequel to tales from the borderlands I got it because I'm a huge fan of the first game and I was pleasantly surprised i liked the characters they kinda annoyed me when i was playing 10 minutes of it but i started to like the characters more when i progressing through the game and it was very funny however it has a very similar story to guardians of the galaxy made by telltale but other than that this was a ton of fun. I kinda prefer the first just a little bit more but still it is recommended.

No pun intended - so maybe the first Telltale game in the Borderlands universe was better (ok not just maybe), but I really like this one too. Yes so many choices do not seem to have a bigger impact on the story or how it will evolve. But not many games had that happen ... and the dialog still is over the top and crazy ... and super funny. At least for me. As I can see others feel differently ... well I am a bit of a sucker when it comes to story related games (and choices and all that).

You play 3 different characters and have to steer them through the story ... and find the ending that may suit you the best ... Telltale had its issues ... but I am looking forward to their comeback ... with another Wolf game! And maybe more tales ... from other games and universes too.

For sure this is the worst product in the franchise, the script is horrible and a disrespect to the writers of the previous game and the others who worked hard to build the universe of the game. Weak characters, the story is full of holes in the script and the actions of the player has no weight in most decisions.

The employees responsible for this script and direction, should be forced to play this game just to see how much of a disgrace this is

the narrative does not take itself seriously to the point of becoming difficult to play, the characters are misused and quite forced on the player, moving the story inorganically and abusing plot armor that highlights the lack of quality of the story, on a mainly story based game.

I made a point of making this game review as to warn as many fans of the original game and other entries in the franchise not to buy this game, in order to motivate the company to produce games with more quality.

Must be retconned.

After playing the disappointing Dragon Age: The Veilgard, I was really looking forward to taking a break from long, open-world, action role-playing games to play something more narrative-focused. But man, I was not prepared for this trash.

Being a fan of Telltale Games, I was excited to play this sequel to Tales from the Borderlands. But dear God, this game was so bad it made BioWare's disastrous The Veilgard look like a masterpiece!

Nothing-and I mean nothing-is worth playing here. It's all trash! The writing is terrible, the story is horrible, the characters are stupid, and the dialogue is atrocious. It started out average at best and just continued to deteriorate.

I was so bored while playing this dump that I would make "bad" choices on purpose just for an inkling of entertainment. But eventually, even that got boring because there are no consequences to these choices. Granted, even in Telltale's games, the story is mostly linear, but they were at least entertaining.

Unfunny, unnecessary, boring, and cringe are how I would describe this utter piece of trash! I'm aware Borderlands is wacky and over the top, but this game would take an unfunny joke and make a meal of it. Unfortunately, this is all New Tales from the Borderlands is.

I can't believe I wasted my entire day with this crap, but I got it done and can finally move on. I need, now more than ever, to play something good. Here's hoping The Expanse from Telltale will deliver.

Final Score: 1/10.
