Tales from the Borderlands (2014 Video Game)
10/10
A Neat Adventure Title
26 December 2019
When Hyperion employee Rhys, gets demoted by Hugo Vasquez, who becomes the new senior vice president by jettisoning the old one, Henderson, who promised the guy the promotion, he and his friend Vaughn overhears him making a deal to buy a Vault Key, and decides to go to Pandora to get it before he can. However, this would lead to a chain of events where Rhys teams up with Fiona, a pickpocket who made the key to scam Hyperion, resulting in an adventure where the two and their allies look for vault while on the run from Hugo.

Like almost any other game from Telltale Games, this is a story-driven game with QTEs and click-and-play elements. Like its other series, The Walking Dead, some parts of the story will actually change to reflect the decisions you make (i.e. actions done to NPCs or any environment will cause different dialogue to be said to reflect those actions). The game has five episodes, and during those episodes, you control Rhys at some parts of the episode (called chapters), while others, you control Fiona.

Each episode has a character who appears in the Borderlands game making an appearance (the first episode has Zer0, one of the playable characters from the second game, appear to help Rhys and Fiona, and Athena, an NPC from the first two games, who is playable in The Pre-Sequel, appears in the third episode), and the voice acting and graphics are amazing. This is one game I would highly recommend for those who like the Borderland series.
