Tales From The Borderlands: Episode 4 - Escape Plan Bravo

Escape Plan Bravo feels like another solid entry in the series, with a few big moments connected together by a great script, snappy dialogue, and the same wit and humor that’s been on display since the beginning.

The finest Telltale episode since The Walking Dead’s finale. And that’s saying something.

Escape Plan Bravo is by far the best episode in the Tales From the Borderlands series, and probably in all the Telltale production. A true emotional rollercoaster, filled with intense and bizarre moments. How the writers will untangle the plot, well, it remains to be seen.

While it may not please everyone and might even cause anger amongst longtime Borderlands fans due to a pretty big moment, it tells a great story and manages to set up the final chapter in a solid way.

Escape Plan Bravo in particular ends with a massive cliffhanger, and I’m probably going to end up replaying it just to see the other side of that.

I loved this latest episode, and I’m adoring Tales From The Borderlands, easily the best thing Telltale’s done since season one of The Walking Dead. It continues to demonstrate how the light-adventure formula can be played for humor as much as tragedy, how good writing can shine in a videogame with the right presentation, and just how accomplished the studio behind it is.

The humor has been continually hilarious, the storylines and characters have been compelling, and most of all, Tales From the Borderlands has been fun to participate in.

Imaginative, home to a perfect 80's AOR slow-walk montage as well as the silliest tribute to Scarface's epic final scene to ever surface in a video-game, it's very hard not to fall in love with Tales from the Borderlands as it reaches its inevitable climax.

Each character who contributed to the story carry forward the Borderlands universe. After seeing the solid storytelling and surprise finale, you'll be excited for the fifth section.

The best episode till now. It has hilarious moments, a brilliant plot twist, and great writing. It may not have the pace of its predecessor, but it's definitely a must have for those who love a good story once in a while.

Tales from the Borderlands' fourth episode shows much improvement over the previous chapter, but calls into question the substance of this series, though I smiled, laughed, and always kept at least one eye on the screen.

After the last episode I was worried that Telltale would take the script in the wrong direction. Well, not anymore. Humor, absurd situations, great directing – it all is back. Now the only thing Telltale needs to do, is bring a little more game back into the cinematic experience.

This episode has pretty much everything you could ask for. Telltale is still pulling out great stories and some memorable moments, and all signs point to a great season finale.

The time spent in Hyperion alone makes this entry worth playing. The characters are better (depending on your dialog choices, of course), the jokes are funny, and it features the longest and most epic fake gunfight in the history of video games.

Serving as a fitting appetizer for the grand finale, Tales From The Borderlands Episode 4 takes its foot off the gas just enough to set up what should be a tense and entertaining resolution.

In Episode 4, Escape Plan Bravo, Telltale manages to wrangle hold of the material and build something more cohesive even if some cracks still show.
