I thoroughly enjoyed the extensive hidden elements to every exploration section. That being said, each episode throws you right into the futuristic fray with more twists, turns and poorly crafted puns than you could ever dream up. There is a pathing system, but it’s very unreliable at times. While the storyline is engaging, the gameplay is often painstakingly slow and sometimes a bit buggy within the movement controls.

Each episode starts off with a brief stint of a walk-through followed by a fairly epic introduction cinematic. Tales starts in the middle of Pandora with an unpleasant captor convincing both Rhys and Fiona – the two protagonists you’ll be controlling throughout the game – to tell their individual sides of the story. Both are accessed by the E and Q keys, respectively. Paying homage to the other Borderlands titles, you also are given an inventory screen, although in this case it’s purely aesthetic, and a super cool “echo eye” feature that lets you hack into various objects. The controls are the arrow keys and your mouse.


Unfortunately, for every action there is a reaction, and if you’re not careful, you might kill off your favorite character amid the chaos. The most recent installment from Gearbox Software’s Borderlands series is a compelling point-and-click interactive graphic adventure set in the same universe as its award-winning predecessors.īearing strikingly similar features and characteristics to Telltale’s other titles like The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands immediately follows Borderlands 2‘s plot and contains five continuous thrill-inducing episodes.
