![]() If you like the kind of narrative-driven games this studio makes, don’t miss out on Tales from the Borderlands. I was dubious of TftB, but after this experience I don’t think I’ll ever doubt Telltale Games again. You’re taken on an emotional roller coaster, you’ve been dragged all over Pandora, and there’s just something so incredibly charming about the series as a whole that you can’t help but smile at the end and wonder what’s to come next. He live-action credits include What We Do in the Shadows, The. There was also a bit more exploration than in the previous couple episodes, though admittedly not much as you’re still basically just walking down hallways.Īll in all, this final episode is a great way to wrap up the first season of Tales from the Borderlands. One of the franchise’s most evil yet stylish villains, the former S.T.A.R.S captain is voiced by Craig Burnatowski. However, Vault of the Traveler redeems itself with some fantastic action sequences that are a ton of fun if you actually enjoy QTEs. While episode 5 moved back towards action and taking control, my only real complaint is that at times it felt a little bit too much like I was just watching a show and occasionally giving my input on the current situation. Now that it’s the end of the season, admittedly TftB does feel like as a whole there was less exploration and gameplay than there has been in other Telltale products. The lack of real gameplay doesn’t even matter though: you’re having fun, you’re hatching plans, and you’re about to kick some major ass. Telltale Games once again delivers a system that makes you feel like you’re doing something important, when all it boils down to is quick-time-events and choosing A, B, C, or D. I have no doubt that these choices are still primarily just giving you the illusion of free will, but it’s done in such a way that you don’t even care or really second-guess it. That vault still needs to be looted somehow, and it’s up to you to make it happen. For about half of it, you’re no longer telling a story and rehashing the past you are in the present and now making choices that directly affect the outcome. ![]() This is the biggest part of episode 5 that really makes it stand out on its own. Just when you might be thinking that your choices didn’t matter all that much, you’re left with a tough decision based on how you played through the entire game that I didn’t see coming at all. Some of the characters will shock you with how they turn out in the end. Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic graphic adventure video game based on the Borderlands series, released in November 2014 for Android, iOS, Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. ![]() There is an absolute ton of payoff in this final episode, as there should be, and Telltale does an amazing job of wrapping up the season with laughs, tears, and some epic loot for these would-be vault hunters. I’ll spare you the rest of the details and spoilers, but you do finally get to find out who that mysterious stranger is. “There is an absolute ton of payoff in this final episode, as there should be, and Telltale does an amazing job of wrapping up the season with laughs, tears, and some epic loot for these would-be vault hunters.”
