    A tiny little bit less brilliant than the first episode, Atlas Mugged is still hilarious, and inspired. Back from the dead, meet Handsome Jack, a man who definitely knows his value.

    Atlas Mugged is an interlocutory episode, with no surprises and no boring moments as well. Let's wait for the next one.

    Tales from the Borderlands is a fun interactive movie, but it could do with a little more player input and less linearity.

    “Atlas Mugged” is a disappointing stumble to what started out as an amazing burst out of the gate and I’m left hoping the next episode can make the rebound.

    Atlas Mugged starts with a in intense movie like sequence but it looses its grip very soon. The best has yet to come. Probably.

    Altas Mugged ends on a huge cliffhanger, with the fate of all four protagonists hanging in the balance.

    A disappointing second episode that’s 90 per cent filler and, apart from a good turn by a ghostly Handsome Jack, severely lacking in humour.

    The first episode was just great, but this second chapter can't keep up the great rhythm.

    The trademark Borderlands humor and Telltale story prowess are missing from Atlas Mugged, which forces players to spend the whole game preparing to do something instead of just doing it.

I think it's easily the best Telltale series so far. It's hard to compare to the emotional appeal that GoT and Walking Dead have, but the humor makes up for the lack of seriousness in an awesome way. Plus, you do still feel attached to the characters. Also, the opening credit sequences are absolutely amazing compared to any other game. Full Review »
