![]() ![]() And I do not know what I would do with myself if Loader Bot doesn’t make it through to the end of this game. The world is just dangerous and unpredictable enough to not feel safe for my main characters and their friends. There are several moments of stress and danger, including a harrowing finale that saw all notable characters make rash decisions and take action against a very serious threat. The particularly menacing Vallory stands out in this episode as an example of the constant “You are about to be killed” attitude of the Borderlands universe. It is a scary place, filled with monsters, guns, and complete psychopaths. Tales from the Borderlands completely captures the vibe of Pandora, which is the setting for the Borderlands series. However, it is not just a game about jokes. ![]() The writing is snappy and funny in almost every scenario, with very few jokes falling flat or repeating for the sake of laziness. With Tales from the Borderlands, I want to see what happens if I play Fiona as a shoot-first gunslinger just as much as if I play her as a “only use violence as a last resort” con artist. In Wolf Among Us, I never wanted to go back and see how the story changed if I made Bigby nicer, because that was not my version of the story. Every other game in this style I have only cared about my version of the story. This is the only Telltale game that I have replayed the same parts multiple times with new dialogue options, just so I could see what other jokes the writers came up with. There are plenty of callbacks to previous scenarios and ridiculous situations (of course I yelled “Enhance!” the first chance the game gave me). Tales from the Borderlands is a game that can make you laugh out loud. I like to pretend that Handsome Jack is my spirit animal.
