I actually haven't played the game myself but from what I've
been seeing from let's players I can safely say that it's really good. Tales from the borderlands is a game
based on the events after borderlands 2. We
control the characters named Rhys who works at Hyperion (it's one of the
games evil corporations that the players from borderlands 2 constantly run
against) and a con artist named fiona. Rhys got screwed over by fiona but they
became buddies because of Rhys' boss trying to kill them and the vault (hidden
treasure but is protected by powerful aliens). Fiona and Rhys are also
accompanied by their respective best friends, Rhys' bestfriend is Vaugn and
Fiona's somewhat sister is Sasha.
First off I really like the chemistry of Fiona and Rhys.
Their chemistry isn't the relationshop, romance, lovey-dovey kind of chemistry
it's just that it will seem like at the end of this, they also will become best
buddies. Rhys' neurotic, corny but somewhat witty personality contrasts to
Fiona's calm and collected nature, it's a nice combination but not just in
their personality or how they were written. The gameplay of Fiona and Rhys are
so different; Rhys uses his bionic eye to tell info about highlighted objects
while Fiona's gameplay has you looking for money. This is still a telltale game
though so it's not saying much but at least there's the feel of difference and
it makes sense to their character.
second the lore, I know that not a lot of people care about
borderlands' lore but I love how it's rich enough to be able to stretch it to
have a game that's a different genre. I like how they showed that there are
still remnants of your enemies back in borderlands 1 and how they connect to
characters in borderlands pre-sequel. There's also lots of nods to the game's enemies
like the rakkhive and additional creatures as well such as the jellyfishthings
that the players encounter at episode 4.
I'm really excited to see how the last episode in this game
and while I haven't played it, I will get this on steam once the last episode
comes.
