Especially one about a Vault key, the Hyperion Corporation, bandits, loot, gangsters, Vault Hunters, secret Atlas tech, explosions, getaways, extortion, betrayal, and mayhem. Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles. Lured into danger by a Vault key and all it promises, the unlikely duo are thrown together with a common goal and a huge amount of mistrust. Who is telling the truth, and why is it important That’s up to you to decide. You are Rhys…and you are also Fiona, because like every tale worth telling, there are two…oh, you read that part already? Well, it’s important to remember that there *are* two sides to every story, and you my friend, you will tell this tale, or…tales, through the choices that you make. Your every decision as both Rhys and Fiona will affect the people and world around you: this is a game where YOU are the final author in a brand new Borderlands story set on the unforgiving world of Pandora.

    Legacy concerns still plague this game like they have been doing for the last half-decade. However, dialogue options feel the most cohesive they've ever been and the combat adds a few new wrinkles while fixing what didn't work before.

    A funny, thrilling, quietly subversive take on the well-worn Telltale formula - this feels like a genuine step forward for the genre but, more importantly, it’s good fun, almost constantly.

    With each new entry, Telltale Games seems to learn even more about how to keep you waiting impatiently for their next game. Tales from the Borderlands is one of its finest titles so far, combining great characters with a good narrative and unforgettable moments.

    If you’re looking for something to fill the gap between the inevitable current-gen iteration of the Borderlands franchise, albeit with a much stronger focus on characterisation and story, then Tales from the Borderlands will more than satisfy your desire.

Have to admit I'm not a huge Borderlands fan but this game has hit the mark for me as far as story telling and overall enjoyment is concerned. I would recommend this to anyone who likes choice story driven games. If you liked what Telltale have put out before then do yourself a favour and grab this one.… Expand

    A very appealing and well presented storyboard game. The humor hits point and it really rewards fans of the series. Rather weak on explorationA very appealing and well presented storyboard game. The humor hits point and it really rewards fans of the series. Rather weak on exploration and I can attest through several play throughs that there is little difference in outcome between carefully considering your responses and basically remaining silent for the majority of the game.… Expand

    Car comme d'habitude (leur sale habitude) peu importe les choix qu'on peut faire, ça ramène au même point ; quant à la jouabilité, c'est avant des QTE de merde (pléonasme) à n'en plus finir ; en ce qui concerne l'histoire, c'est boulotté à l'arrache par des stagiaires surmenés avec toujours des voix en anglais ; enfin, c'est graphiquement toujours aussi vilain et bâclé.

    Bref, un étron indé de plus reproduit ici à cadence industrielle à travers de multiples licences qui ne méritaient pas ça... même les Bordel Lands, ces sales jeux bordéliques répétitifs à farmer pour kévins fermiers de base coop kikoolol à l'ouest.    … Expand
