Things about New Tales From The Borderlands I did not like Although he's on thin ice because of the played-out jokes about plugging into data ports being like sex LOU13, who is an assassin bot, can also stay.There's an angry shouty gun on legs called Brock, who goes "bang!" when he shoots he can stay.There is one (1) joke done by the above character involving Octavio hiding in a box that made me laugh out loud.I like the weirdo Tediore guard who is a superfan of the in-universe miniatures game Vaultlanders, who turns up in increasingly unlikely places to battle the characters (this like does not extend to the mini-game in question itself).They have stats but they do not appear to be important In the Vaultlanders mini-game you smash two plastic figures together.

The banter between the Tediore drone guards is pretty funny, although it happens every time two or more Tediore guards are on screen and is therefore subject to diminishing returns.

The voice acting is mostly decent, and the mocap means a lot of the animations feel idiosyncratic, as is befitting the universe and characters.

I liked that Fran, who gets the best optional skins, is a wheelhoverchair user but is also a very physical character who gets the most traditionally heroic moments Good things about New Tales From The Borderlands So in the interests of both brevity and clarity, I have decided to present the rest of this review as a list of things I like, and a list of things I did not like.

For reasons I won't go into, the unlikely trio team up to steal a healing crystal from a vault, try to monetise their discovery, and eventually save the world from both the bloodthirsty head of the Tediore megacorp, and a strange entity living inside the crystal. They are also accompanied by a robot called LOU13, pronounced Louis. And it fuckin' sucks.Īs before, you play multiple characters, switching control between them as they do different things in the story: anxious pacifist scientist Anu, her (heavy air-quotes) street-smart adoptive brother Octavio, and bloodthirsty fro-yo shop owner Fran.

New Tales From The Borderlands is an interactive narrative adventure set in the Borderlands universe, where you choose dialogue options, actions, and pass or fail quick-time events. Gearbox have seen fit to make one, in-house, and presumably out of profit rather than desire, or any affection for the title. I have wanted more Tales From The Borderlands for almost a decade now. Tales From The Borderlands is not only the best Telltale game, but also the best Borderlands game, probably because it wasn't made by Gearbox. It is, and I cannot stress this enough, fantastic, especially because how good it is came as a surprise when it released in 2014. These accumulate over the course of several episodes and ultimately contribute to the outcome of the story.

I'm sorry I wished for New Tales From the Borderlands, everyone. You should, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. You wish everything you touch to turn to gold, then it'll turn out there's no way to turn it off - or it kicks in just as you go to the toilet, that kind of thing. You wish for a personal chef, but it turns out he only does offal. You wish for health and it turns out you can't die.
