Especially one about a Vault key, the Hyperion Corporation, bandits, loot, gangsters, Vault Hunters, secret Atlas tech, explosions, getaways, extortion, betrayal, and mayhem. Set after the events seen in Borderlands 2, Tales from the Borderlands is about Rhys, a Hyperion company man looking to become the next Handsome Jack, and it’s also about Fiona, a Pandoran con artist out to score the biggest of all swindles. Lured into danger by a Vault key and all it promises, the unlikely duo are thrown together with a common goal and a huge amount of mistrust. Who is telling the truth, and why is it important That’s up to you to decide. You are Rhys…and you are also Fiona, because like every tale worth telling, there are two…oh, you read that part already? Well, it’s important to remember that there *are* two sides to every story, and you my friend, you will tell this tale, or…tales, through the choices that you make. Your every decision as both Rhys and Fiona will affect the people and world around you: this is a game where YOU are the final author in a brand new Borderlands story set on the unforgiving world of Pandora.

    Hilarious, heartfelt and high-octane, Tales from the Borderlands is a must-play game that sets a new standard for comedy games to come.

    The thing that sets Tales from the Borderlands apart from any others in the series so far is that I want to go back and play it again. Like, right now.

    This is, without a doubt, the finest series Telltale Games have produced to date. Whether you’re already a Borderlands fan or not, Tales From The Borderlands delivers an emotional, entertaining, and downright fun episodic adventure title.

    Tales from the Borderlands can easily compete against the hottest contenders on TV, not just on account of its writing, but also its cinematic beauty.

    I can’t express how delighted I was with the first episode. Unfortunately later the game lost some of its magic and oscillated between decent and really good. Despite that fact it’s by far the funniest thing I’ve played in years and I can’t wait to get my hands on the second season. [13/2015, p.63]

    If nothing else, the awesome humor, interesting characters and the always welcomed insanity of Borderlands will surely hold your attention.

    If you value humor and atmosphere above all else, go forth and enjoy Tales from the Borderlands. If not, you will have a hard time enjoying a cartoon without gameplay, freedom and bedazzling graphics.

    Telltale Games finest to date.

    I have played many point and click adventure games in my life (Broken Sword, Day of the Tentacle, Full    Telltale Games finest to date.

    I have played many point and click adventure games in my life (Broken Sword, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Monkey Island etc.), so the games that Telltale were producing were right up my alley, I remember playing "The Walking Dead" for the first time and realizing straight away that Telltale is the future of point and click adventure games, I played "The Wolf Among Us" and loved that too, it was so satisfying to see this new spin on the genre, these are games with modern graphics and great cinematic quality, of course they are more linear than the old classic games from which Telltale were inspired by but what matters in the end is the characters, story and how well developed it is.

    Then "Tales from the Borderlands" was announced, I wasn't hyped for the game since I wasn't a big fan of the Borderlands series but nevertheless was still happy another game was coming, when I finally got down to sitting and playing it, I was blown away.

    "Tales from the Borderlands" shines in its humour and great characters, the humour in this game is so brilliantly executed, never have I laughed so much in a game before, this is also the most interactive and beautiful Telltale game to date, there is a great deal of variety in the areas you visit throughout the game, the cinematic quality has been raised and the characters are so well defined, it doesn't matter whatsoever if you liked or played "Borderlands" or not, this game stands on its own but for those who did play it and enjoy it, I'm sure you will enjoy the style of humour and pop culture references that is abundant in its setting.

    If you love comedy adventure like Pixar's movies and the old classic Lucas Arts games then you will simply love this game, if you are into something more serious and dramatic then you can check out the Walking Dead series that Telltale has done, I loved both but in the end was drawn more to this game because the comedic charm and wit of Ron Gilbert and Tim Shafer's games in the 90's is what got me into point and click adventure games and the characters kept me there, that same charm and wit is present here in "Tales from the Borderlands"    … Expand

You should check out this gem, no question.

Initially I wasI haven't played a lot of Telltale games because I'm not a huge fan of episodic games but I'm really happy I played this one. Initially I was lured by the Borderlands name because anything Borderlands tends to be great and also the fact that this was supposed to be a funny game. And I can say for sure that this game is worthy of all it's praise, it tells an awesome story and it's funny as hell. I literally played the whole game with a smile on my face cause the jokes just keep coming (and that isn't a bad thing). It's not the funniest game I have ever played, that title goes to South Park: The Stick of Truth, but it does come in at a close second.

    So just go play this game even if you're not a Borderlands fan, but if you are then this is a must play because it tells you what happens after Borderlands 2. And even if you're not there's still plenty to love here, it's fairly accessible and fills in newcomers quite well. It's well worth the money and my personal favorite Telltale game.    … Expand

    Ninguém deve ficar dependendo de trabalhos de terceiros para ter um jogo legendado , principalmente porque até mesmo sites pequenos já fazem esse trabalho hoje em dia, então é obrigação da empresa fazer isso.
    Antes que alguém pense "vá aprender inglês" saiba que eu já sou fluente, e se eu estou pagando caro por um jogo é um direito meu de ter o conforto de joga-lo em minha língua nativa.

    Já o game é como todo jogo da telltale, passam apenas falsas sensações de escolhas, pois não importa qual opção você escolha quase tudo acaba da mesma forma. Eu não considero isso um jogo, pois o significado de um game é dar ao jogador a possibilidade de interagir naquele mundo. Se um jogo não possui essa liberdade no gameplay então ele deve compensar isso no enredo, caso contrário será apenas um filme interativo, e é exatamente isso o que esse "jogo" é.    … Expand
