Dec. 2024

For anyone who doesn't know yet: it's not a game per-se, it's more of a interactive movie, really. Some sentence choices, some (rather arbitrary) clicking, some bare-bones 'secrets', various paths through the main story, etc. Put it like that, it doesn't sound like much, but this one is written by someone who knew their job very well—great humor and Borderlands tropes galore. I really recommend if you like the latter. You will feel at home. Word of a warning, though. Although the game offers some replayability, sorta', it's almost incredibly short for its kind. And guess what—it ends with a cliffhanger. One that baits you to 'finish the story' by spending more bucks on another installment. Someone could argue that it's packed with action and twists and all, but even so, this would've left a somewhat bitter aftertaste if I have bought it for the full price. I don't think that 20 EUR is justified for those 3-4 hours worth of an 'interactive' movie that is not even 'ending properly'. (My acc says 8,3 but I often forget games on afk, so it's far from the actual gameplay time)

Great story. If you are a fan of the Borderlands series you must give it a try. Not much more to say other than: •no bugs •classic Telltale gameplay •good voice acting I recommend getting it on sale or the Borderlands bundle.

Sept. 2024

The only good story ever set in the Borderlands universe. This game will trick you into thinking the Franchise has an interesting setting with fun, layered characters. Then you will play the other games, you will be disappointed, and you will hate this game for deceiving you. But it doesn't deserve that because it's a genuinely fun story game.

Aug. 2024

Definitely the strongest narrative to ever come out of the Borderlands universe, and definitely makes you look at Pandora and the world-building in a very different light. A narrative tie-in between Borderlands 2 and 3, and I'm sure will continue to impact future installments, this is better than most shows or movies I have seen in a long time. Highly recommend for a great story that will make you want to binge through in one sitting, but only for those who already have context within the franchise. Still recommend playing in order of Pre-Sequel, 1, 2, Tales, 3.

For a game that came out nearly TEN YEARS ago, it has held up amazingly. For most games nowadays, it's a toss up on whether or not it'll even be worth a single playthrough, let alone worth buying in the first place. I got this game through the Pandora"s Box Bundle while it was on sale, and it was well worth it. I recommend that if you are on the fence about getting the bundle, get it when it's on sale. However, if you are wanting to get this game standalone, absolutely get it. Telltale Games absolutely crushed it with this one. The magic of Borderlands as a series was on it's fully graphic, comedic, and overall crazy display here. It has honestly felt like I had gone back ten years and immersed myself back into the adventures of playing with my friends, collecting loot, telling absolutely outlandish stories. The characters themselves are legends in their own right. Side characters are the same way and are as memorable as what most characters are as what you would expect in Borderlands. The story is incredible. From start to finish, it is hilarious and holds the charm of what Borderlands is all about in its psychotic grasp. This game captures almost exactly what it is like playing with friends in Borderlands. During my playthrough, there were some scenes that buffered a little bit, but nothing too drastic to where I would need to close the game out and load back in again. That could just be something on my end, so it's practically flawless. If you are an achievement hunter, this game is relatively easy to complete in one playthrough. If you want to play this game to see the different choices, whether or not to see if they make a difference, or if it is just to hear how the voice actors deliver certain lines, go for it. It is an honest one-and-done kind of game for me, but it is a worthwhile adventure. Honestly, this game is like a time capsule. It is what games used to be. This game has charm. and those who made this game possible had a great passion behind this and it shows. I wish I bought this game ten years ago when it came out. Yet, at the same time, I'm glad I waited so long until now to actually play it.
