    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

    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.
