actually not bad, only complaint i have with it is the ending fight was honestly kinda meh.
Could be the best use of Retrograde by James Blake ever.
As my first piece of Borderlands content that I consumed, this is genuinely some of the best storytelling and humour to come out of telltale.

Underrated
The episode 2 intro is still one of the hardest cutscenes in gaming history

i remember this as a pretty good game and i remember loving rhys particularly. obviously, being that i was 11 at the time of playing this, i might be looking at this through rose tinted glasses.

I'd heard a lot of good about this game, but I avoided it for a while because Rhys pissed me off. I'm glad I finally played it, though, because the story is great!
Engraçado com músicas boas, a história é mais ou menos; mas o tiroteio imaginário valeu tudo

Eu tenho todas as músicas nas minhas favoritas do Spotify e esse aqui como um dos favoritos da vida.
Watched someone play this when it first came out, but in my attempt to complete all the Borderlands games I picked it up cheap in preparation for New Tales From the Borderlands, some humour still holds up and i'm always going to like Borderlands games.

Third playthrough for this game (after playing when it first came out and a couple of years ago), and man I miss this game!! It's so fun to replay without remembering a few points of the plot, I honestly forgot LB comes back and Sasha lives!
Fiona and Rhys will forever be my comfort characters, such a shame there's barely any return for Fiona since Borderlands 3 features Rhys. (Still haven't played, but I'll get to it!)
I remember playing this not knowing a thing about Borderlands, thank god I played the first one and starting Borderlands 2 before replaying this one! I can't wait to continue the Borderlands series.
And It's great to rewatch Rhys fanboy over Zer0 when fighting the Vault Monster.
And, of course, Catch-A-Ride!!!

This is my idea of the perfect Borderlands game, fun world, characters and quick wit, but without the repetitive gameplay, apologies if that ruffles any feathers. Tales however managed to tell a compelling story and bridge the gap between myself and this franchise which on account of the fascinating world is done almost effortlessly.
Great game with a great story in an already-established great universe. The episode intros were my favorite parts, especially Episode 2 with "Kiss the Sky" by Shawn Lee's Ping Pong Orchestra feat. Nino Mochella and Episode 4 with "To The Top" by Twin Shadow. The emotional beats definitely worked for me, giving me goosebumps, making me cry, or sometimes both.
Shade was my introduction to what a Jumpscare is. I will never forgive them
the only good thing to ever come out of the borderlands franchise
Telltale at Its best.
Неплохая история от Telltale (у них много годноты вообще), но не без изъянов. Пройти можно

Im not a big fan of Telltale or this style of game, and Borderlands only barely works in this format - but Tales From The Borderlands is captivating for one real reason: it is meta-commentary. I have no clue if its on purpose but Rhys running around haunted by the literal ghost of Handsome Jack seems to curiously mirror how the series struggled to get out from under the shadow of Jack itself. Its a very poetic observation.
Its even more poetic considering that it doesnt seem like its worked out for Borderlands as a franchise quite as well as it did for Rhys. I also personally mourn the loss of mystique for Hyperion, made all too mortal and comprehensible by the events of Tales (made partially as a companion to the events of Pre-Sequel). Something of a bittersweet feeling emerges here: yes, Tales From The Borderlands is entertaining but its also…. not really Borderlands.

There's an argument to be made that a) Tales from the Borderlands is the only funny Borderlands game, and b) Tales from the Borderlands is the best Borderlands game. I'm making both arguments right now.
I remember getting so hyped when i heard this was coming to Xbox One, and it was so worth it.

One of the best games Telltale has put out, with an amazing cast full of talented voice artists, a fun story that expands the Borderlands world in interesting ways, and choices that feel like they actually matter and have an impact on how the ending plays out. It's got everything you would want from a great Telltale game.
I will never feel the way I felt when that moonshot hit the rakk hive and the music hit like that, when scientists dissect my brain they're gonna find a imprint of that scene on my hippocampus.
Telltale games are great ways to bloat your trophy/achievement count and this is coming from someone who plays visual novels but telltale games often fail in their story telling as a whole, this game especially. It seems like they took a visual novel, made it worse and add quicktime events. The stories are so non-rememberable that this whole review is taking apart the style cause I can only remember like one plotline
might be the most underrated game of all time, Rhys x Sasha 4 life
COMO QUE 2014 TAKE ME BACK
Лучший сюжет во франшизе
Лучший юмор во франшизе
Лучшая драма во франшизе
Лучший злодей во франшизе
Лучшие главные персонажи во франшизе
Лучший второстепенные персонажи во франшизе
Итог: лучшая игра во франшизе.
Я так сильно ни над одной игрой не смеялся, юмор здесь великолепный, сюжет выносит все части Borderlands вместе взятые, но больше всего мне понравились темы которые раскрывает игра, особенно тема дружба, как по мне это лучшая игра (из тех что я играл) которая смогла её так хорошо раскрыть. Кучу эмоций я получил. Возможно объективно игра и не шедевр, но для меня она определённо останется в сердечке. Лучшая игра Telltale!

I played Tales From The Borderlands when it first came out, and I'm glad to see that it's just as good as I remember. I’ve always been a fan of Telltale style games, in 2014 when I was 13 and found out one of my favourite studios was doing something set in the same universe as my favourite game, safe to say I was excited. Telltale mixes their own point and click style and the borderlands style almost seamlessly, and end up creating one of my favourite parts of both the Telltale catalogue and the Borderlands series.
Unlike the mainline Borderlands games the gameplay is by far the weakest part of Tales. The gameplay is basically just walking around and talking with a few quick time events sprinkled through. In my opinion it's not bad and works fantastically for Telltale games, but it's not exactly addictive. The story is what really hooks you.
Tales From The Borderlands uses a lot of what has already been established in other Borderlands games, and builds off of it perfectly. There are a few returning characters in small roles, nothing major. Handsome Jack once again makes a significant appearance but it's a nice bookend to his story (hopefully) and a great explanation of why Hyperion is no longer present in Pandora. The new characters are fantastic. I love the deuteragonists, both Rhys and Fiona are interesting characters who both fit in well with the existing Borderlands characters but also bring in a ton of new personality. The voice work is top notch, both Laura Bailey and Troy Baker are as fantastic as always, but a lot of the other people I wasn't super familiar with beforehand are also fantastic. I'm bummed that Fiona hasn't come back in the mainline games. I think she'd make a great playable vaulthunter.
Tales From The Borderlands is a fantastic entry in the Borderlands series. In all honesty I think it may have the best story in the franchise. If you're a Borderlands fan and you haven't picked this one up yet do yourself a favour and play it as soon as you can.

Telltale has finally proven to me that they have good humor and can combine it with a serious story. I really enjoyed the game, the characters and dialogue are top-notch and I had to laugh out loud a lot.
