    The best episode of the season so far because the story pacing in itself was amazing. LB is seriously growing on me. Finally, the cliffhanger was so exciting, it will be a painful period until episode four.

    Another great chapter in the most entertaining Point n Click game yet. As Both Borderlands and Telltale were great a combo of both is even better the third time too.

    This is definitely the best episode so far without a dought and with the amazing cliffhanger at the end that makes us wait and wait for episode 4 to be released. And at this point if everything goes well episode 4 is looking to be as good if not better than this part.

    Amazing and only getting better, they have to be commended for their excellent sense of humor. Makes me want to replay it just by how it makes me feel.

    Loved this episode, characters really get to shine and the dialogue is very funny. New characters are brought to the fold and are instantly likeable. The locations are some of the most interesting that has been showed so far, you want to explore the areas you are in. The ending keeps you wanting more which is how it should be. Overall it's the best episode yet, can't wait for the next one.

    It just keeps getting better and better. The best episode so far, i just wish they were planning on releasing five seasons of Tales from the Borderlands, because right now, i can't get enough.

    Best episode so far, it includes everything required for a good episode; action, romance and a brilliant storyline. I do recommend the game to everyone who liked any of Telltale Games or/and borderlands games as the game offers much more detailed look of Pandora !

    Nothing Telltale does is as good as Life is Strange, which set the bar very high for this type of game - that many of us want - great story, real interaction, better graphics, and far better controls.

    This is a good episode, and at Steam sale prices, my wife and I can enjoy this separately via shared Steam libraries for the cost of $1 an episode each, which is reasonable.

    Your choice is still an illusion, and I have come to see these as far more choose-your-own adventure story books, and now that I know that, I'm ok with that at ten bucks or so.    … Expand

    So painfully unfunny that it makes me want to kill myself. The writing is absolutely pathetic. This felt like one of those people on the internet that try to be funny all the time, but it just makes them look like a tool. (i.e. Markiplier, SepticTankJack, Skydoesminecraft, etc.)

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Telltale turned one of their best series into one of their worst in a single episode. While the first two episodes had very flat, almost insultingly bad humor, this episode cranks it up to 11. A joke is forced into almost every line without a single one being funny. Besides the obviously terrible jokes in the first episodes, there was a subtle, almost sarcastic tone to the dialogue. Sometimes it's played straight and it lent a really good flow. Asides from the dialogue, the general pacing was thrown completely off in this episode. So many things were introduced with little reason or payoff. Why did Athena need to become a main character for one episode? Did Gordys really need to be another new character? How did Athena accept Felix's request if Felix was potentially dead, as she was hunting Fiona after his determinant death? Why was dialogue that promoted Fiona being a Vault Hunter forced in when it was never hinted at prior? Why does Fiona idolize Athena even though she was almost killed by her? Why was this episode's tone so off compared to the others? You can balance the camp factor and a serious story very effectively, like episodes 1 and 2, but this episode delves into the camp so much its more serious moments come off as out of place.… Expand

    Im gonna give it a forced 10, cuz this episode can either be a 8,5 a 9 or a 10. Lemme explaing some of the dialogue isnt as fun if you dont pick certain choices, best outcome imo is if vaughn is paralyzed and you pick to destroy loader bot in the first epiosde, cuz this is the episode in which you can bound back with him and its very nice when u can talk to the characters with a purpose,Im gonna give it a forced 10, cuz this episode can either be a 8,5 a 9 or a 10.

    Story details are finely processed. Surprising fact: Strong gameplay mechanics in a Telltale game. I think, the last two chapters will be amazing with little Gortys.

    While Gortys is a fun new addition to the cast, most of the episode feels stale. The action continues to shove annoying quicktime events down your throat, with more chase and combat sequences with no consequences – in fact, at this point I don't I feel like I've made a single significant choice in the series.

    Overall it lacks the punch of the first two episodes and focuses too much on action, while character development is put on the back burner. Nonetheless I am curious how Telltale will continue their journey to Pandora.
