[h1] TLDR: 7.5/10 Great Story that Actually Fits Really Well Into the Borderlands Series. Tales From the Borderlands Fleshes out Existing Characters, While Also Introducing New Ones That Become Important Later On in the Borderlands Timeline [/h1] [h3] Actual Review (No Spoilers) [/h3] This is the only Telltale game I've played, but the consensus seems to be that it's an above average title for them. Borderlands as a franchise is pretty hard to make work for a virtually story-only game, but despite having literally zero gameplay relation to the main games, Tales is still worth playing. It is a key part of the overall Borderlands story, and fits right in with the inherently wacky and slightly cringe humor of all the other games, while also having genuinely excellent character moments and dialogue. Anthony Burch was on the writing team, so it's easy to see how it fits in so easily. But again, with Anthony Burch on the writing team, it's easy to see how fragile Borderlands' writing is whe...

Easily the best Telltale game of all time best story, best gameplay, best characters. No other telltale game can compete! I swear, if I ever go to war, Reese will be in the little locket I bring with me into battle.
Great story. A travesty what Borderlands 3 and New Tales from the borderlands did with material as great as this.
Better story-telling than any of the Gearbox games (but only possible because they exist, of course). Telltale really knocked it out of the park with this one. If you play all the Borderlands content leading up to this game, it's a real treat. I literally only had one big gripe (massive spoiler): [spoiler] In Episode 4, Fiona and Sasha get upset with Rhys for not disclosing he had Jack in his head earlier. Every time the game allowed me to attempt bringing it up, I tried, but Jack prevented it. There was no dialogue choice for Rhys to bring up, in his defense, that he (I) did try to tell them. That was frustrating. Even if Fiona or Sasha didn't accept it as an excuse, with the conversation playing out the same, at least I could have had the satisfaction of telling them the truth.[/spoiler] 10/10
Its a telltale game. What did you expect?

if you like this play style or the Borderlands franchise, you'll enjoy this game
Recommend to beat BL1/2/TPS first, this is like a love letter movie essentially for Borderlands fans. Tons of comedy, good story, awesome references and VA, etc. Absolute cinema.
Never really played Borderlands but I love Telltale games and I was not disappointed damn
