    From belly laughs to heart-wrenching despair, Tales From The Borderlands has had it all. It's absolutely Telltale's best series to date, and it's entirely fitting that this finale is also its greatest episode.

    Tales is far and away the most entertaining game I've played from Telltale yet.... And given the way the final episode ends, I'm very much looking forward to the sure-to-come second season.

    As a story-based game, it features some of Telltale's best writing to date and its humor separates it from the developer's more recent efforts. It also features a shocking amount of replay value and actually made me want to play the finale more than once to see the various character interactions, as well as find any little things I might have missed.

    It took time for Tales from the Borderlands to express its full potential, but it finally happened, and what you get is a story worthy of your time, since in the end every piece of the puzzle gets to its rightful place.

    The last Tales from the Borderlands episode does exactly what the last episodes should do. It answers the questions you have asked since the first episode and offers some of the most memorable moments in the entire series. In short, it’s a great ending that will make you laugh and touch your heart. More laugh, less touching.

Its quirky. Its dark. Its funny. Despite the game has 1 ending, you get to choose how your behavior is with Rhys and Fionna. The casts are lovable. Vaughn is just a badass accountant. The only thing disappointing about this movie game is the romance and I hope this gets addressed if Season 2 is ever made.… Expand

    This has got to be my favourite Telltale game ever and I played The Walking Dead season 1

    Only Telltale can take an already immersive world    This has got to be my favourite Telltale game ever and I played The Walking Dead season 1

    Only Telltale can take an already immersive world that is Borderlands and put something of its own into it, just like they did with The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, but not so much with GOT

    They made original and refreshing characters that you cared about and related to and it made you cry and feel sort of empty inside when you had to say goodbye to them. They made a story so interesting and emotional that Gearbox allowed it to significantly affect the Borderlands universe ( you know what I'm talking about ). Voice acting is simply superb, the music is fitting and memorable and every element of this game is just perfect.

    Thank you Telltale for this amazing journey and experience, for making me feel like I haven't felt in a while.    … Expand
