Summary Back to top
Like all good tales, there’s more than one side to a story. Especially one about a Vault key, the Hyperion Corporation, bandits, loot, gangsters, Vault Hunters, secret Atlas tech, explosions, getaways, extortion, betrayal, and mayhem. Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles.

Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles. Lured into danger by a Vault key and all it promises, the unlikely duo are thrown together with a common goal and a huge amount of mistrust. Who is telling the truth, and why is it important That’s up to you to decide. You are Rhys…and you are also Fiona, because like every tale worth telling, there are two…oh, you read that part already? Well, it’s important to remember that there *are* two sides to every story, and you my friend, you will tell this tale, or…tales, through the choices that you make. Your every decision as both Rhys and Fiona will affect the people and world around you: this is a game where YOU are the final author in a brand new Borderlands story set on the unforgiving world of Pandora.

The thing that sets Tales from the Borderlands apart from any others in the series so far is that I want to go back and play it again. Like, right now.

This is, without a doubt, the finest series Telltale Games have produced to date. Whether you’re already a Borderlands fan or not, Tales From The Borderlands delivers an emotional, entertaining, and downright fun episodic adventure title.

Tales from the Borderlands can easily compete against the hottest contenders on TV, not just on account of its writing, but also its cinematic beauty.

I can’t express how delighted I was with the first episode. Unfortunately later the game lost some of its magic and oscillated between decent and really good. Despite that fact it’s by far the funniest thing I’ve played in years and I can’t wait to get my hands on the second season. [13/2015, p.63]

If you value humor and atmosphere above all else, go forth and enjoy Tales from the Borderlands. If not, you will have a hard time enjoying a cartoon without gameplay, freedom and bedazzling graphics.

The characters are all well-made and deep, with tough decisions all-around, and plenty of excellent writing. By far the best Telltale game I've played. Highly recommend this, especially for people who've played the actual Borderlands games.… Expand

I was really hoping toI was feeling like there were just too many telltale games. I kept on buying them sure but I was getting tired of them. I was really hoping to have a great experience with great characters and plot and I got that. Honestly, in my mind it is up there with the first season of The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us. This is the funniest game I have ever played even if "game" is in quotation marks for some people. The story is a wild ride, the characters are quirky but still have depth, and the ending is just sooo satisfying. However it is still plagued by the negative aspects of all telltale games-bad gameplay. By that I mean what little there is that could be considered gameplay is QTEs. I don't mind that this is a game light on gameplay but come on nobody really likes QTE.… Expand

At times I felt that they grab some ideas from other franchises (like dying and the one hearing the story telling that couldn't happen, like in monkey island 2) but at the end if we start complaining about taking aspects of other places we have to complain about everything or stop making games, movies, etc.… Expand

Ninguém deve ficar dependendo de trabalhos de terceiros para ter um jogo legendado , principalmente porque até mesmo sites pequenos já fazem esse trabalho hoje em dia, então é obrigação da empresa fazer isso.
Antes que alguém pense "vá aprender inglês" saiba que eu já sou fluente, e se eu estou pagando caro por um jogo é um direito meu de ter o conforto de joga-lo em minha língua nativa.

Já o game é como todo jogo da telltale, passam apenas falsas sensações de escolhas, pois não importa qual opção você escolha quase tudo acaba da mesma forma. Eu não considero isso um jogo, pois o significado de um game é dar ao jogador a possibilidade de interagir naquele mundo. Se um jogo não possui essa liberdade no gameplay então ele deve compensar isso no enredo, caso contrário será apenas um filme interativo, e é exatamente isso o que esse "jogo" é.… Expand
