    After the walking dead and the wolf among us I believe that this game is a drop off from telltales. Unfortunately, The choices are so poor. In addition of that, i Didn't find any surprising thing about the story.

Not about ric hstupid and weak gays with mania of money. Tale Tale, work better, think more wide… Expand

    Seems there is less actual gameplay in each TellTale game they release. As big Borderlands fan I found Pandora/Helios environment only good thing in this game.

Worst thing in whole game is final chapter with last boss fight which is neverSeems there is less actual gameplay in each TellTale game they release.

Play that only if you are big TellTale fan and game completely without actual play doesn't bother you!… Expand

    Il est clair que les opportunistes de Telltale Games vont décliner leur recette pas ragoûtante à toutes les franchises un tant soit peu connues, histoire d'exploiter la pompe à fric au maximum.

Ainsi, les Bordel-lands se coulent dans le moule du jeu passif presse-bouton à la sauce TTG, à savoir une suite de cinématiques minables bardées de QTE de troisième zone et de pseudo-choix à d'interminables bavardages imbéciles.

    Intégralement en anglais cette fois (contrairement aux Walking Dead), cet ersatz de jeu est toujours proposé en kit (5 épisodes) et la patte graphique -fidèle aux BL par pur hasard- reste honteusement dégueulasse (mais à quoi peut-on s'attendre de la part d'un développeur de jeux indés fast food à la chaîne ?... à rien !).

    L'ambiance est clairement bouffonne, hystéro-bouffonne même et si les BL sont au moins des FPS répétitifs mais d'une bonne jouabilité, de jouabilité ici, il n'est point question dans ce dessin animé très laid, très vaguement interactif et affligeant de vide.    … Expand

    I am huge fan of Telltale Games but this one is not the same league like The Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us. It is far below those two that I mentioned.

    Honestly, I hate this game. The characters, the story, the plot. Everything about it is BAD

    Not the same experience as the Borderlands. I had a feeling that the game is only based on the franchise but takes place in different universe. It doesn't really reflect it's climate and humor. Probably the least qualitative of Telltale's games. The plot was kind of interesting, but for me it wasn't engaging. I expected more action than just a few twists.

    Telltale games are the worst. Not sure who is enjoying a barely interactive visual novel. Theres a better medium for what theyre going for, theyre called BOOKS.

    Here i am sitting with a completely black screen, with no loafing logo or sound trying to load episode 4
    This game just ruined my run on keeping my new trophy complitionist account on 100% on Playstation.

    Its blend of humor and great characters perfectly complements the universe created by Gearbox. The best of Telltale since the first season of The Walking Dead.

    An inconsistent but highly enjoyable season of sharp comedy and surprisingly affecting drama, that has plenty to teach more serious dramas.

    The story crafted here isn't just a fine Borderlands sequel, but one of the most enjoyable sci-fi adventure stories in recent memory.
