It’s really hard to write this review since there’s a lot of positive sentiment around this game but it’s even harder for me to justify recommending this game to someone who’s never played it before.

The story is only good in the first and final episodes. I think the story loses itself in the middle by becoming uninteresting. Comparing it to other Telltale games, this one is very barebones. It doesn’t compare your choices to other players’ choices at the end of each episode just like every other Telltale game does. The performance has a few minor setbacks. It doesn’t offer fullscreen borderless and you have to disable v-sync in Nvidia control panel (or in your AMD/Intel equivalent) to run the game with unlimited FPS. Audio quality isn’t the best either especially for dialogue at times which was a missed opportunity since Telltale had a great voice actor talent lineup for this game.

Other than the great voice acting, there were a few other positives that stood out for me. Telltale and Gearbox worked well together to integrate that Borderlands level humour which I think hit well and never felt cringy or forced. I really enjoyed the unique gameplay offered in the final episode. I don’t want to spoil it but if you play it you’ll see what I mean. I certainly wish the game’s final episode played like it did throughout the entire game because I would’ve been more engaged.
