Tales from the Borderlands is an episodic, narrative-driven game, like the usual games by Telltale. You choose dialogue, explore some scenes, and choices matter. But what makes it unique is the fact that it's set in the same universe as the Borderlands games, which are gameplay-wise almost the exact opposite. Instead of slow-paced story games, they are fast-paced looter shooters. Some characters from the main games play major roles here, like Athena and Handsome Jack, with their original voice actors returning.

Here you control 2 characters, Hyperion employee Rhys and Pandoran conwoman Fiona as they are forced to work together alongside other people in search for a hidden Vault. As I mentioned before, it's interesting to see the world in a different way, by talking and planning instead of simply shooting your way through. There are still plenty of action scenes, so don't worry about that. The graphics and story tone are also quite consistent with the main games, using the comic-like graphics, the game's stylish UI, and of course some silly, dark humor.

If you're a fan of the Borderlands franchise, despite the difference in gameplay, Tales from the Borderlands is honestly a title you shouldn't skip. It might seem like a spin-off, side story set in the same universe, but some events that happen here have effects in later games, as well as some characters that are introduced here making reappearances. On top of that, it's still a very good story game that manages to capture the tone and aesthetic of the franchise. Definitely one of Telltale's best.

Probably one of the best Telltale games I have ever played, right next to the TWAU and TWD series. Game has the perfect combination of storytelling and humor in it. I enjoyed the play-through and definitely recommend this game to anyone who likes Telltale games or is obsessed with the Borderlands series.
