The graphic of the game is similar to other Telltale's games. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic point-and-click graphic adventure comedy.
A successor, New Tales from the Borderlands, was released in October 2022. 2K Games was able to acquire the property and republished the series starting in February 2021. Tales, like many of the other Telltale games, were pulled from sale following the studio's sudden closure in 2018. Particular praise was attributed to its strong characterization, emotional depth, creative setpieces, humorous writing and unexpected pathos.
Although the series received some criticism due to the aging game engine and repetition of gameplay from past Telltale Games, Tales from the Borderlands largely received critical acclaim. The game follows the episodic format that Telltale used for its titles The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, where player choices and actions have somewhat significant effects on later story elements. Set some time after the events of Borderlands 2, the game's story centers around Hyperion employee Rhys and Pandoran con-artist Fiona as they team up on an adventure to find and open a Vault. The game was released in November 2014 for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It was developed by Telltale Games under license from Gearbox Software, the developer of the Borderlands series, and 2K, its publisher. It’s a real “it’s the journey, not the destination” kind of situation.Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic interactive comedy graphic adventure sci-fi video game based on the Borderlands series.
In short, the story gets really hokey at the end – regardless of which ending your choices lead you to – killing the momentum it had carefully built through its first four episodes. I have no complaints about the pacing or character development in episodes 1-4, but the finale not only overstays its welcome – with a drawn-out fixation on painstakingly dragging each of the three protagonists through a journey of self-discovery – it also careens the plot off a cliff of sci-fi stupidity that seems misplaced even in Borderlands’s anything-goes universe. I’m not sure you could fail one if you tried, and while that in and of itself isn’t unforgivable, there’s also no better reward for acing these sequences instead of simply passing them.īut where New Tales really does drop the ball is in its final episode, none of which I’ll show here for spoiler reasons. These activities are a nice diversion on paper, but they’re all laughably simple. New Tales tries to give your hands more to do by occasionally letting you wander around a scene, examining objects and opening crates for cash that you’ll never be able to spend all of on the cache of cosmetic character skins, or participate in minigames such as hacking or the Vaultlander action-figure fights.
