Draconator out.* ActionSurvivor: Without his Loader Bot or his Stun Baton, Rhys is more or less useless in a fight. That's all for now kiddos, sorry this review is a little short. Also, for trophy hunters, the platinum only requires beating the game. The cheapest Telltales game out there for how recent it is. I recommend not watching gameplay and instead getting it yourself, as the first episode is free and the rest are $15. This review doesn't go into spoilers too much, so it won't give you any idea how amazingly written this game is. In conclusion, Tales From The Borderlands is a game best to be experienced yourself. The last game that I cared so much about the characters for was probably Metal Gear Solid 5, which this game trumps in story. TFTB focuses on not taking things too quickly in order to preto perky develop their characters to the way you like or dislike them. This game also made me care about the characters, which a lot of game don't do nowadays for me. Each character had good chemistry due to this and their lines don't feel choppy, ever with the splicing of the different choice dialogue options. This game also has some great voice acting, with Troy Baker as Rhys, and Nolan North as another character. Never is there a dull lagging moment in this game, either, which I feel other Telltale games have, such as the Wolf Among Us having puzzles that were not very good. Handsome Jack also makes an appearance in Episode 2, which adds even more humor. Some of my favorite scenes are when you go into Hyperion later in the game and get into a finger gun fight with all the employees and it's absolutely hilarious. This game also has the great borderlands sense of humor still present in it. They fit so well together and (minor spoiler) Fiona and Rhys don't end up as love interests, which is awesome. The main gang of Rhys, Fiona, Sasha, and Vaughn are some of my favorite character ever now. The side characters are lovable and well developed. For example, Fiona and Rhys's characters contrast so well with each other that it can lead to some great interactions between them (with you controlling what one of them says). They all have very distinct personalities that contrast perfectly with each other. The rest of the game brings in more great characters, and very few of them feel plain and dull. It has just enough to hook you into the story, but leaves you wanting more. However, this is not a bad thing, because you get so invested into the story you don't really want to play, you just want to make choices and see where the story goes. This game is almost pure story, and the only true gameplay is some quick time events here and there. It's pretty much nonexistent, even for a Telltale game. What I can say is that Episode 5 is amazing, hilarious, adds a twist ending, and also a little sad when it ends because you don't want it to end. That's about all I can tell you without spoiling things. Rhys, the other main protagonist, is a Hyperion saleman who, partnered with his buddy Vaughn, goes out to buy a Vault key that his boss accidentally said something about. You play as two characters: Fiona, the Pandorian con artist that is paired with her sister and together they come up with a plan to make a con soon. I already love Borderlands and the characters (like Handsome Jack), and this game me more story from that universe by one of my favorite companies, Telltale. I have planned on getting this game when I first came out but decided to wait until it was fully out, and then it kind of dropped off my radar. I went into this game with no real expectations. Telltale also partnered with Gearbox with this release. It is one of Telltale's most successful and highly praised games. Tales From The Borderlands was original released in 2014 but was fully finished in October 2015.
