    Tales From The Borderlands is more often than not a pleasure, and it has an authentic Borderlands feeling. But the the long action sequences where we have to push buttons only to let the movie play, rise a question: “why don't we play the real game, instead?”

    While the first episode fails to evoke the fond memories I have for Telltale's superb work on The Walking Dead, I haven't completely abandoned hope for the adventure to come.

Surprisingly long episode really in which i enjoyed much. The game's humor is really clever and it replaces walking dead's emotional feels well. I'm a bit disappointed with the ending since they didn't hype it as all wolf among us or walking dead episodes, but oh well.… Full Review »
