Tales from the Borderlands

Tales from the Borderlands is a psy-op to try and make me like borderlands, and it kind of worked. Even if you have zero interest in Borderlands, if you liked Telltales TWD or TWAU, play this.

Wow, a Borderlands game where the guns don’t matter and somehow it’s actually... good? Wild. I came in expecting a dumb comedy with loot jokes. Instead, I got attached to a bunch of idiots, emotionally bonded with a robot, and had to make choices that stressed me out more than they should have. The writing’s sharp, the pacing’s tight, and the characters are somehow more memorable than half the mainline cast. Honestly, this had no right being as good as it is. 9/10 Do not choose the mystery vault haunter.

very intresting and nice game , if you are bordderlands fan , this game will be enjoyable . definitly give it a go .

This is my third play-thorough, played back when it came out on console. It still makes me laugh and is is 2nd favorite game/story set in this universe. 10/10 and soundtrack is fire.

Telltale Games at their best. A masterfully intertwined story that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Your choices matter and do affect the outcomes of scenarios. The Borderlands style humour is spot on, and the lore/setting is excellent. Very Enjoyable.

Nothing beats Telltales from the Borderlands. The sequel? Forget it! Telltale was the best at story-telling.

I haven't played Borderlands before but if you're ready to catch a ride on the wildest, strangest rollercoaster of a Telltale game in existence, look no further. There were laughs, tears, twists and turns on adventure like no other.

Wow, I did not this game to be this good, at first I was just playing because I was bored but then i got invested in the story and man was this a fun experience, character development, the way how choices matter and mechanics, It was ahead of it's time.

Brilliant. Some episodes were notably better than others but was absolutely worth it, this is a must play for anyone who is a fan of the borderlands or telltale series.

This game is fantastic! The choices you make actually make a difference on what goes on in the end. Even though your gonna win, it still feels nice to know that the something will change based on what you choose. The story writing is also so nice. 10/10

Honestly in my opinion this is the best borderlands game in the series, great story, characters and music. One of Telltale's better games

I thoroughly enjoyed this play-by-story game. It's much more than just choosing words to say. You get to loot certain things and the choices you make actually impact the story in great ways. You can be an asshole, or play the good guy. Also having two different characters, with two different skill sets makes this game interesting all the way until the end. It wasn't too long where I got bored of the same actions. If you love the Borderlands lore and story, this is a fantastic addition to the universe.

It's a great story game and I'm not paranoid about the "spyware" BS that everyone is blowing out of proportion, Nothing has changed since the updates

Such a fun ride. I played this years ago and totally forgot how charming it was. If you are a fan of Borderlands, this is a must.

I 100% recommend this game to Borderlands fans. Ignore all the other reviews angry about the recent EULA changes because that was one big misunderstanding of the changes. This game mixes Borderlands lore, humor, and other aspects of the original series with Telltale gameplay. I sure as hell am enjoying it currently, and this game also gives you more insight into Rhys and Vaughn in Borderlands 3. It's a good game, and it's a shame that other reviews misinterpreted the new EULA.

2K wants to know every single bit of information that exists about you if you want to play their games now. Complete trash.

One of the best games, if not the best, from Telltale Games. A must-play for Telltale and Borderlands fans.

Tales from the Borderlands is a classic TellTale story driven adventure set in the Borderlands universe between the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands 3 with all the quirks, fun and danger. We follow 2 adventurers that persuit their own goals but get thrown together as the events unfold... Gameplay: As with many of the earlier TellTale games you walk around certain places, pick up stuff to use and talk to people and more. As always choices DO matter so you really should pick the things you say wisely. The dialoges are the games biggest strength as the voice actors made a phenomenal job and all the characters feel alive and breathing and it is so well written that everyone will find something to laugh about. Throughout the journey of the characters they really grow onto you and in the end you really care about them. In one way or the other. A nice bonus is the Vision Eye mode that tells you a bit more about your surroundings and there are some really fun crazy descriptions in there. It is also used to solve a couple of puzzles. Visuals: Nothing to fancy here. If you have played any other TellTale game before you know what your are in for. Not a huge evolution from the OG The Walking Dead game Series. But It fits. It does not distract and there are some really cool animations and sets in there. Textures could be a bit more advanced but after all you wont have time to look at those . Audio: The Audio is pretty basic and most of the times simple. Effects are still fitting for what you see. Best part are the official tracks that play at episode intros or other situations. These really fit the cutscene your watching and make for some really cool mini movies. Still, nothing to really brag about. Summary: One of the best old TellTale games. The characers, the voice acting, the story itself and the jokes all around. It is just a great experience overall and i still would love to see another series like that in the Borderlands universe... Definitely a Recommendation!

Amazing story, this really brings more perspective into the borderlands world than guns-a-blazing in the other titles! The ending is the cherry on top. Super fun.

Just a chill walk through a borderlands story. If you love the series this is worth a play for the storyline.

New EULA on Gearbox/Take Two Interactive titles is invasive. Stay away from their titles while this is in effect. Steam should crack down on this anti-consumer behavior. They now collect your: bank account info, credit card number(s), RL name, postal and email address, phone number, age/gender, purchase history, web browser history, and audio/photos. This is retroactive on titles you already purchased. This wasn't here when you bought it years ago. There is no protection for you if this company gets hacked liked every other enshittifying thing that collects your data. And they will, of course, have data breaches.

[h1]Tales from the Borderlands – 100% Completion Review[/h1] [i]All achievements earned, all choices explored, every dialogue path tested, all character combinations unlocked[/i] [b]Tales from the Borderlands is Telltale at its absolute best. It is fast, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt, with a clear sense of purpose that elevates both its comedy and its characters.[/b] Set between Borderlands 2 and 3, the story follows Rhys, a Hyperion middle-manager with delusions of grandeur, and Fiona, a con artist trying to stay ahead of the next scam. Completion means replaying episodes to uncover how different dialogue choices, alliances, and key decisions affect character dynamics and final outcomes. [b]The writing is consistently sharp.[/b] Borderlands is usually known for noise over nuance, but here the jokes are grounded in character. The pacing gives emotional beats room to breathe. Loader Bot, Gortys, and Sasha are more than just sidekicks. Completing all dialogue paths reveals how much care went into building those relationships. [b]Choice and consequence are handled with restraint.[/b] Not every decision changes the plot, but they always change tone. Dialogue can shift from tense to hilarious with a single line. Every playthrough feels fresh when you lean into different personalities. Art direction carries the visual identity with bold colors and sharp silhouettes. Licensed music tracks give the episode structure real punch, with each intro and outro leaving a strong impression. Tales from the Borderlands respects its world by reimagining what it can be.

the story was actually dope and worth playing

This game is an absolute masterpiece, the characters, the story, the dialogue, and the choices are just absolutely goddamn peak. Loaderbot giving me a thumbs up every time he does something will live in my head forever

Great story-telling and developer.

Holy smokes, I like this game a lot! "Choices Matter" games usually don't jump to the top of my list, but I always thoroughly enjoy them. Tales from the Borderlands captures the goofy magic of the series and throws you into the driver's seat. Not running and gunning gives a unique take on the grim worlds of Pandora and Helios, showcasing distinct traits and interactions with characters both old and new to the series. A shame Telltale never got to continue the story in a second game or tell a new story. Reading the online discourse, New Tales from the Borderlands hasn't charmed me like the original. I'm sure I will play New Tales, and I'm sure I'll be let down. Until then, this game has earned its place near the top of my list.

Id recommend it could of been a bit more interactive but if your interested in Borderlands franchise its good for a break from the nonstop action they usually provide lol. has a decent story and dialogue i laughed a few times and cant be bad when Handsome Jack gets involved in the shenanigans.

good game but i wish there were more achievements the only achievements are for finishing the playing the through the game no secret ones or side stuff you have to do

i love this game so much its so good rhys is the best i like rhys he's cool

i LOVED the game, but i T2 had to change the EULA

They'll steal and sell your information.
