Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Tales from the Borderlands: A Telltale Games Series" (2014) is a pretty fun adventure game. It is more like a movie or animation as you don't really interact that much in this game. You can sometimes move, sometimes interact and answer, but the star of this game is story and storytelling. Voice acting was great, animation was good and music was great - i loved opening titles of each and every chapter - they were great.

Overall, "Tales from the Borderlands" can be sometimes uneven and dragging, but it always is fun and funny adventure. There is a plenty of good humor here as well as great writing. All in all this is a fun game, glad that i tried it got trough it.

Tales from the Borderlands...let me just start by saying, I wasn't the biggest Borderlands fan...I liked the premise of the original games enough to come back and play the sequel and the pre-sequel...however, I believed the gameplay was kind of sloppy, and a lot of the virtual wasteland of Pandora lacked heart...then Tales came into the equation...and not only does this game have heart...it has it IN SPADES. Telltale rekindles the success of storytelling that they have achieved in previous titles such as The Walking Dead Seasons 1 & 2, and The Wolf Among us...to bring us another beautifully woven tale with characters at its hearth that are likable and relatable....Tales will take you on a ride back and forth from Helios to the beautiful yet tragic world of Pandora, it will tug at your heartstrings...it will make you look at the characters with Artificial Intelligence as if they have the biggest hearts of all, and you will truly feel for their plight. Telltale Games' Tales from the Borderlands is an absolute masterpiece, and if you haven't given it a look yet...well...what are you waiting for?

It's been a minute since I've played a Telltale game. Freaking love these games, and this is no different. Rhys and Vaughn quickly became one of my favorite borderlands characters... that is... until Loader Bot and Gortys makes their appearances. Seriously, what a great game. I won't talk about the story, but man, that twist was amazing. This game really made me fall in love with Borderlands all over again, and I can't thank it enough. Now onward to Borderlands 3!

When Hyperion employee Rhys, gets demoted by Hugo Vasquez, who becomes the new senior vice president by jettisoning the old one, Henderson, who promised the guy the promotion, he and his friend Vaughn overhears him making a deal to buy a Vault Key, and decides to go to Pandora to get it before he can. However, this would lead to a chain of events where Rhys teams up with Fiona, a pickpocket who made the key to scam Hyperion, resulting in an adventure where the two and their allies look for vault while on the run from Hugo.

Like almost any other game from Telltale Games, this is a story-driven game with QTEs and click-and-play elements. Like its other series, The Walking Dead, some parts of the story will actually change to reflect the decisions you make (i.e. actions done to NPCs or any environment will cause different dialogue to be said to reflect those actions). The game has five episodes, and during those episodes, you control Rhys at some parts of the episode (called chapters), while others, you control Fiona.

Each episode has a character who appears in the Borderlands game making an appearance (the first episode has Zer0, one of the playable characters from the second game, appear to help Rhys and Fiona, and Athena, an NPC from the first two games, who is playable in The Pre-Sequel, appears in the third episode), and the voice acting and graphics are amazing. This is one game I would highly recommend for those who like the Borderland series.

A by the numbers Telltale game dealing with one of my favorite video game franchises. I really enjoyed it! Wish they'd done more.
